We believe the "ministry on location" will be the most dynamic form
of workplace ministry. On location is where your Christian faith can shine the
brightest to the most diverse audience under the widest variety of circumstances.
This is where the non-believers you work with see how you handle success, stress,
ridicule, problems, money, relationships, work and more.
"Ministry on location" takes place in the building or locations in
which you work. "Ministry on location" is either informal, through
personal sharing before work, during breaks, over lunch, or more formal by specifically
starting a group that meets on the organizations premises or work locations,
or at least nearby. We believe these "ministry on location" individuals
and groups are like the Marines at Iojima, or the Army on the beaches of Normandy.
They are establishing a beachhead for the gospel to go forth.
When you see your ministry as “on location”, you provide the greatest
ease of access to the non-Christians around you. When you are inviting someone
to an event, lunch or activity that is away from your company it creates an
extra hurdle to overcome.
There are some things that are difficult to pull off “on the premises”,
like large group events, industry related forums, retreats, and conferences.
There is in fact a place for those. But those outside items support what the
Embedded and Empowered Workplace Believer is able to do while “physically”
in the workplace.
