The​‘Couch to 5k’ training programme has helped thousands of people get moving. The Church of England’s new resource *Everyday Witness* is based on the ​‘Couch to 5K’ model, which we think is a great analogy for sharing faith as well. That’s why we’ve created Motivating Mission, a resource for church leaders to help their churches find their motivation, build their confidence and get out there.

The type of tool you'd like to use may depend on how open and/or aware of Christianity the people you're working with are. The numbering system runs from 0 to 10 with: 0 - meaning the tool is suitable for engaging with someone who has no interest and/or knowledge of the Christian faith. **10** - meaning that the tool is suited to engaging with someone who is now making a decision to follow Jesus.
