It can be hard work being a Christian at work, yet it’s often where we spend most of our waking hours. The way we act and speak is watched day in and day out by our colleagues and very quickly people see our priorities, our loves and what really makes us tick. Work is one of the main places where you live out your Christian life in front of other people and can kindle their curiosity in Jesus.
We provide Evangelistic Prayer Teams (EPT) to encourage Christians in being Jesus' witnesses at work.
There is also an Android EPT app you can use to help record and share prayer points. (See below).
EVANGELISTIC PRAYER TEAMS
Evangelism Prayer Teams (EPTs) exist to support Christians in being Jesus’ witnesses at work.
An EPT is made up of 5-7 people meeting for 40 minutes once a fortnight to pray for their own witness and for opportunities to share the gospel at work. Because of their size, EPTs are flexible and can occur at any time of the workday, anywhere in the CBD or outside the city. EPTs are also encouraged to set up gospel events for their friends. For instance, holding an informal pub meal after work and inviting a guest speaker.
EPTs are not bible study groups or pastoral groups. They concentrate on growing a passion for those who haven’t had the chance to hear or haven’t understood the great news of Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
You can view locations and descriptions of our current groups by clicking the maps below.

If there isn’t one that’s convenient, or if you know enough people, we can help you start a new group. We’ll provide you with training and encouragement to lead, inspire and maintain an EPT.
To try one out, start your own or find out more please contact us.
