Tips for evangelism in the workplace

These tips have been brought to you by contributors from Church Army Evangelists, Activate, Purpose Driven Church Europe and Christians to encourage you to Share Faith through Words and Actions.

Workplace carol service

Many of us spend most of our time at work, but are wary of proclaiming Christ at work.  Why not organise a lunchtime carol service for those who work there or nearby?  Get permission, find some empty space where there is still power, keep strictly to 40 minutes with refreshments afterwards, stick to well-known biblical carols, cutting out verses as necessary, and the supplement the key bible readings with two 5-minute slots, one a drama, one an illustrated talk on the Christ who came to live among us.  Advertise on notice-boards, through work e-bulletins and by personal invitation.

Workplace breakfast or lunch club

Many of us spend most of our time at work, but are wary of proclaiming Christ at work.  Why not set up a monthly meeting in the works canteen at either breakfast or lunchtime.  At each one, cover an issue which is topical – either in the news or relevant to those who are there – and invite participants to select the topic for the next meeting.  Find a short bible passage or extract from a Christian book which addresses the issue to start off.  Invite others to bring a short passage from the teaching of their own religion or philosophy, including atheists and secularists.
