– where Jesus is not yet known –
Ari desires to see new tentmakers leave for places where Jesus name is not known. An inspiring, passionate and entertaining speaker at many missions conferences, seminars and bible schools around the world. He has been a seminar speaker each year at Missions Fest Vancouver since 2000.
He is based in Canada, is fluently trilingual, having lived on three continents and traveled to over 50 countries.
As a former tentmaker he began assisting the development of national tentmaking movements in Europe in 1998, working with traditional mission agencies to launch training and mobilizing efforts. He has twice pastored churches in transition, one which then sent him to India as a missionary. Together with his wife Ruth, they served in Asia as tentmakers.
Ari is available to speak at churches, missions events & conferences. His strength is running fast paced tentmaking seminars and consulting with mission agencies to help develop their tentmaking vision. He is also an approved speaker for Perspectives courses, lesson 10 – “How shall they hear?” He is a Tentmaking Associate to the World Evangelical Alliance and Alpha Course in the Workplace Advisor for Tentmaking.
