It was a trade that was portable, just take your apron, headband and small hand tools and move to the next city. It was also a trade that was much needed everywhere. Awnings, tents, leather products needed to be made or repaired. Paul being the consummate missionary evangelist, could also interact with those he worked with, his customers, his supply chain, his delivery people etc. allowing him to spread the Gospel in an efficient way.
