Dear WorkLife Ministry Friends,
We continue to be encouraged as we see God moving through WorkLife Ministry in churches around the United States. HCAW is focused on empowering churches with a plan and process to establish a high impact WorkLife Ministry. Our vision is for churches to be effectively equipping and affirming their congregations to glorify God through their work and to influence their work associates for Christ.
We appreciate your prayers and support as we advance God’s Kingdom.
Doug Spada, Founder - His Church at Work
His Church at Work empowers churches to build a sustainable plan & infrastructure in which WorkLife discipleship and outreach can grow and thrive. HCAW helps churches equip their members to live authentically and purposefully for Christ through their work lives. We seek to assist churches in their effort to make 24/7 followers of Christ who are growing and pleasing God in their lives. HCAW partners with churches to integrate a seamless approach in moving people from the pew into the workplace…helping every member to discover their work environment as their ministry venue. HCAW is not a program – we seek and promote a transformational change process.

EQUIPPING SEMINAR IN MN CHALLENGES BELIEVERS TO LIVE OUT THEIR FAITH AT WORK
On Saturday, September 17, His Church at Work sponsored a city-wide Living Out Faith at Work Training Seminar conducted by our good friend Regi Campbell. The participants from the HCAW partner churches were inspired to be intentional about taking their faith to work. Joe Dwyer, member of Wooddale Church had this testimony to share:
“I attended the workshop this morning and wanted to send a quick note of thanks. I read your book, About My Father’s Business a couple weeks ago and have already started implementing my Intentionality MAP. I believe this is exactly the sort of thing I need as I grow in the Christian faith and work to be a leader in my work.
Your challenge was to accept the second job of being 'about my father's business'. I accept! I'll do my best and I'm sure I'll falter along the way, but I know it also helps keep me growing and working for God's purpose. Thank you again. You've definitely had a positive influence on me.”
HCAW provides various resources such as seminars to help equip congregations to glorify God through their work and to influence work associates for Christ.
We thought you might enjoy seeing the collection of the Church WorkLife Directors from Minneapolis along with Regi Campbell. The City-wide event was hosted by Hosanna! Lutheran Church.

THOUSANDS TAUGHT GOD’S PURPOSES IN THEIR WORKLIFE
HCAW is serving with Victory World Church in Norcross, GA, a 4,500 member congregation to plan, develop and launch their comprehensive WorkLife Ministry. HCAW prepared Ferrol Macon, Executive Pastor of Victory to preach his WorkLife message as part of the WorkLife Ministry on Labor Day Weekend. The congregation of Victory was inspired to answer the question: Work – Why God? The sermon was just the first taste the congregation will enjoy as the leadership begins to rollout out the WorkLife Ministry with His Church at Work.
