What we do

1

Contact Time 

From there, the team heads out for Contact Time— a time where the only agenda is to simply meet people where they are to build relationships, Whether that is eating together, praying together or simply hanging out.  These moments often reveal the needs within the community and open doors for deeper connection.

Day to Day Structure

Each base is empowered to operate individually as is best for its own communities however there are some practices which are core to all Every Life bases. This is a typical structure of what happens at our bases. 

Seek First

Each day begins with Seek First, a dedicated hour for our team to gather in prayer and worship, giving our love to God, seeking his presence and direction for the day ahead. Practically this may look different from place to place and day to day but ultimately it’s about setting our hearts on Jesus, hearing the spirit and choosing to follow him.

Response, Development and Formation 

The rest of the day is spent serving in their specific areas of expertise, with team members focusing on Response, Formation, or Development — each playing a part in bringing hope and transformation in practical and meaningful ways.

Other activities 

Occasionally, we pause our regular rhythm for special moments — such as Encounter (worship in the community), baptisms, Nutrition Weeks, Hygiene Training, and more. These occasions offer a chance to come together, celebrate, and respond to specific needs, with God’s love at the heart of it all. At other times, we might pause to respond to unexpected crises, like flooding, offering practical support where it’s needed most.

Here’s an Index of all the initiatives we do in Every Life and which countries it applies to.
