Engel scale rating Aimed at people at the early stage of their faith journey Over the last few years trypraying has become a logo seen around several cities. It began as an evangelistic booklet and has become a multi-church and a multi-city evangelistic process with many approximately 500 churches using it this year. At its core trypraying is a seven day prayer guide for people ​‘who are not religious and don’t do church’. It’s got themes from the scriptures, honest to God prayers that a decent self-respecting agnostic can pray, stories of answered prayer and things that a person can do. It also has short articles on issues like unanswered prayer, suffering, evidence for the resurrection etc. The main thing is that it is essentially an explanation of the gospel and people run a high risk of becoming Christians if they use it! We have gradually developed other resources: children’s and youth booklets and also an app. [Check out the 4-minute explanation on the website.](http://www.thereishope.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/A-simple-idea-trypraying-SD.mp4) [ Visit resource ](http://www.trypraying.co.uk/#) ### Featured Resources [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### Mahabba Network Get connected with prayer for Muslims locally and equipped to share Jesus in your Muslim community. ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/mahabba-network) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### trypraying Trypraying is an evangelistic resource aimed at those who are not religious and don't do church and a… ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/try-praying) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### trypraying:youth Trypraying is for those who don’t do church, it’s an invitation to begin talking to God, a website, a… ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/try-praying-youth) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### World Prayer Centre Informing, enabling and empowering others in prayer and worship ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/world-prayer-centre) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### 30 Days of… Join millions of believers across the globe in praying with love and respect for Muslim people for 30… ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/30-days-of-prayer-for-the-muslim-world) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### Prompt 52 Each Monday, there will be weekly challenges that promote and inspire conversations about Jesus. ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/prompt-52) [](https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?app_id=1769260916495219&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Ftry-praying) [](https://x.com/intent/tweet?text=trypraying&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Ftry-praying) [](https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=1769260916495219&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Ftry-praying&link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Ftry-praying&display=popup) [](mailto:?subject=Shared%20from%20Evangelical%20Alliance&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Ftry-praying) Topics [Prayer](/great-commission/prayer) [Give-aways](/great-commission/give) #### What is the Engel scale? 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.
