The Hope Project

As you may remember, last year we combined forces with the other Peninsula churches to prayer walk the entire eastern suburbs in the lead up to Easter. This year we want to do the same thing but this time, partnering with a national initiative led by The Hope Project.

The Hope Project has joined together with 24/7 prayer, Long Story Short, and Alpha to mobilise our entire country to prayer walk our streets, deliver booklets containing the message of Easter, and inviting people we know who don’t yet know Jesus to find out more.

Easter is such a great opportunity to share the greatest message ever, and it’s a wonderful way for us to partner with other churches.

The way we will do that at East is this:

• Next time you’re at a service you can grab a map and a bundle of booklets, and you can commit to prayer walk those streets as an individual, a family, or a Life Group before Easter

• We will have a shared lunch on Sunday 29th March, followed by some prayer walking to finish off any streets we haven’t managed by then

• We’re actively working on getting an Alpha Course up and running to kick off after Easter so be praying for that, and praying about who you could invite.

• Over the coming weeks, we’ll take some time in services to upskill in engaging with people in spiritual conversations

• We’ll also up the ante on prayer

If you’re going to be hitting the streets to pray and deliver booklets, please watch this health and safety video from The Hope Project before you go.

We’re so expectant for what God is going to do in this season as we pray and intentionally reach out to people who don’t know Jesus.
