Abstract

This dissertation explores the utilization of lay and bivocational leaders in addressing the mission challenge of North America. Chapter 2 examines the biblical and theological issues. A biblical word study, historical development of laity and clergy classes, and Paul's tentmaking as a missionary strategy is explored. Chapter 3 investigates lay and bivocational leaders in America during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and their effectiveness. Chapter 4 presents historical data demonstrating the evangelistic effectiveness of bivocational leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention. Chapter 5 examines hindrances and barriers, and suggests ways lay and bivocational leaders represent a missionary response.
