Grow your evangelism quotient

"We all know about IQ and EQ but what if there was something called the Evangelism Quotient? Or EvQ? What if we knew how to read the room and knew what to say when we spoke about Jesus? What if there was not just a curriculum, but mentors willing to nurture and help you increase your EvQ?

"Welcome to the School of Evangelism where we are raising the next generation of evangelists who know what to say and when to say it."

- Sam Chan

Please contact our team for further information.

Wherever you currently are at on your Evangelism journey, we have tailor-made programs suitable for everyday Christians, for people who consider themselves natural evangelists, and for those who aspire to be public evangelists.

Having calmer conversations
with Caroline Spencer

Everyday Christian program

Evangelism can be anxiety-producing. It comes with a real or perceived threat of rejection and possibly persecution. Sometimes we are aware of this and we feel anxious. Other times the anxiety is at a subconscious level. This course is about simple principles and practical communication techniques that can help us keep calm, create opportunities and share Jesus.
