About Us

How it all began

Since beginning in 1996, the Business Life Network, in partnership with North Shore Christian Centre, Chatswood, conducted 34 Alpha Courses over 10 years. A growing number of people keen to bring others to Christ has grown out of this activity over the years. At North Shore this group was often referred to as the Harvest Team.

From the year 2000 and beyond the Network has developed many associates with believers in the CBDs of most Australian cities and in some cities internationally. As a result, multiple numbers of Business Alpha Courses are being run in the boardrooms, canteens and even in hotels and restaurants as people seek to bring those who are struggling with the Questions of Life to discover the reality of God's plan of salvation.

The Network has had its origin in one church, but it now consists of believers who are connected all over Australia who are faithful to live godly lives and who seek to bring others into a saving relationship with Christ.

The Network is not an organisation as such. It is an association of Christian believers who want to know Christ more and who want to encourage one another in their Christian walk and work towards the extension of Christ's kingdom.

Conserving the Fruits of Evangelism

When people come to Christ a nurturing process is necessary in order to see them grow fully in the Lord. St Paul spoke about wanting to bring each person he saw come to faith to a point of maturity (Colossians 1:28-29). He wanted to present each one to God in this state.

"So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ. That's why I [we] work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ's mighty power that works within me [us]."

Colossians 1:28, 29 (NLT) [Plural emphasis added]

Therefore, those of us who are linked with the Business Life Network, regardless of the church we belong to, want to see each new believer in Jesus come to the place where he/she decides to make Him Lord of their lives. This is the best way of describing what it is for the new believer to grow in grace to the point where they actively choose to become a disciple of Jesus.

There are various means and resources to do this and these will be covered in the allocated sections of the website as you explore further.
