Distinctives of LifeWorks
- 70% pre-evangelism to meet the increasingly non-churched nature of the average Australian adult.
- The first and only major tool to offer an optional internet component of the course to attendees who wish to dig more deeply into each week’s topic.
- The first and only major tool to offer all its resources digitally. When a church purchases its LifeWorks pack, the pack includes a CD containing printable versions of all resources. The church never has to re-order materials no matter how many times it runs the course.
- The only major tool developed out of a broad evangelical spectrum. The three authors are John North (Baptist Bible teacher and evangelist), Robert Forsyth (Anglican pastor at the time—now Bishop of South Sydney), and Colin Adamson (secularly employed layperson—now studying for full-time ministry). This breadth has resulted in a course focused simply on the essentials of the faith and usable by any evangelical church.
