Acts 18:1-4
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them. 3 So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
After those in Athens mocked him and stopped listening to the words of life, Paul went to Corinth. There he found a Christian couple who had the same profession (tent makers) who were kicked out of Rome for being Jewish. They worked together to earn a living while speaking of Christ every Saturday in the synagogue in order to move others to the truth of the gospel. He worked to support his work for God. A good example for vocational ministry.
