Priscilla, Building a Business Partnership

“There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were,
he stayed and worked with them” (Acts 18:1-3. NIV).


Pricilla was a working woman in partnership with her husband, Aquilla, in the tent making business. Additionally, the husband and wife team were evangelist together, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Women have been working from home for centuries. Today, women in home businesses are one of the fastest growth industries in the world. One model of home based business includes being in partnership with your spouse or other family members.

Read the story of Priscilla in the Bible book of Acts for inspiration.
