ENVOY COACHING COMMUNITIES HELP YOU STEP BY STEP TO DEVELOP A WAY OF EVANGELISM THAT IS AUTHENTIC TO YOU AND APPLICABLE IN YOUR CONTEXT.
"Envoy helped to bring evangelism alive, from concept to applied life and to bring awareness into everyday routine. The weekly input [podcast] coupled with talking about it and praying into it helped grow roots over time and normalise evangelism".
quote from a 2022 participant

"Envoy taught me that evangelism is not this scary and overwhelming thing. I was encouraged to figure out what evangelism looks like for me."
quote from a 2022 participant
IN A NUTSHELL
Envoy is coaching in evangelism for those eager to see people around them become followers of Jesus and be part of a Christian community.
COACHING (not a course)
Coaching isn't a quick 'how to' 6-week course. We use 24 coaching sessions to grow habits that are formational for evangelism that is applicable in your every day life.
A GOOD FIT FOR YOU
FORMATION IN A SAFE SPACE
LEARNING AT YOUR OWN PACE
TOGETHER WITH OTHERS
Your Envoy coaching community meet (approx 90 minutes) on the same week as your podcast to tease out what the teaching might look like in each person's context.
Each week you have access to a 30 minute podcast packed with teaching, stories or practical tips designed to help you learn about evangelism.
If your application is accepted we allocate you a place in a coaching community (online or local) with about five other people meeting from October.
