Develop theological, cultural and practical skills and insight to speak into a complex world. The EPIC framework is the essential tool to help you grow in powerful and considered public evangelism. Note: this is an IN-PERSON three-day intensive ran in February (specific dates and venue TBC). The timing of the intensive ensures you extract optimal value out of the annual programme. Further details can be found in the Q&A below.

Hear what our latest cohort has to say about EPIC...
What previous participants are saying...
The power to engage through public storytelling
EPIC helped me in my public evangelism to really think through how to best structure a talk. I think it helps people really understand the point and reach a conclusion that changes the way they think or do things, and challenges them to keep investigating.
Connecting ordinary life with the Gospel
EvQ is helping me make connections between ordinary life and the places and people that I talk to with the Good News of the Gospel and how it speaks to the longing and the ache of every heart.
Growing and connecting with a network of gifted public evangelists!
It's equipped me in preaching and speaking about Jesus and just to be in the network of other great people who have the gifts of speaking and to be able to bounce things off as well!
I’ve might become a little bit more evangelistically intelligent but even better I’ve been encouraged and inspired by a godly man.
Loved the incredible content and wisdom which has been transformative!
Equipped me to be a preacher that thinks hard how things are being heard and to ensure every sentence helps people step further into the gospel.
Sharpening your Gospel communication in a culturally engaging way
I think anyone who's got an itching or an edge that wants to share the Gospel in this public way, and that's not everyone, but if you want to be sharpened in that gift, if you want to sharpen the way you communicate the Gospel in a culturally engaging way, then it's a great program for you!

EVQ Public Evangelist FAQ
-
How is the Public Evangelist Programme different to the Natural Evangelist Programme?
Whilst both the Public and Natural Evangelist Programmes offer the all-important one-on-one mentoring and mentee groups to help you shape and work towards specific evangelism goals, the Public Evangelist Programme also includes the additional benefit of Public Speaking Consultation, providing "hands-on" guidance and support to further enhance your preaching impact across a variety of audiences.
-
What happens in the One-on-One mentoring sessions?
You will have access to your EVQ public evangelism mentor over the course of the programme to support you with preparing & reviewing your public talks. When you're accepted into the programme, we’ll do our best to assign you a mentor who can help support you in your specific evangelism goals and opportunities.
-
What happens in the mentee catch-ups?
Mentee catch-ups allow you to connect with other mentees who are taking the same classes and working through their goals. These catch-ups are great times to pray, connect and discuss common goals.
-
What Realtime sessions do I get in this programme?
In addition to the 3-day intensive, EPIC, this programme includes our range of online sessions conducted by a range of skilled evangelistic trainers; “Welcome2EvQ”, "Half-time" and "Full-time" sessions with Sam Chan; "In Tune" with Max Jeganathan & Co, and "ELEVATE".
-
I can't make one of the Realtime sessions? Are they recorded?
Yes! In the majority of cases the Realtime sessions are recorded and shared with participants. However, it’s worth noting that the value of joining the sessions is that you get the opportunity to ask our expert trainers lots of questions!
-
What is the time commitment across the programme?
“You get out what you put in!” In addition to the 3-day intensive, EPIC, there are ~36 hours annually across the Realtime online sessions, one-on-one mentoring and mentee group catch-ups.
-
I really want to join the programme, but the cost is a bit of a stretch right now. Are there flexible payment options?
We certainly don’t want cost to be the barrier! We offer a range of different options including an early bird rate, interest free payment options, and a "Sponsor a Mentee" programme. Further details can be provided upon request.
-
“Where is the EPIC Intensive held, and across what dates?”
This is very much determined by the size and location of the Public Evangelist cohort. Location is very much dependent on the location of the cohort to ensure the best possible training experience. Please note that the intensive is run over three consecutive days IN PERSON in February 2027. Travel costs are not included in the programme fee.
