This short 16-page booklet outlines the key aspects of the full report, setting out the freedoms we have in different parts of our lives, from talking about Jesus in our homes, to street evangelism, to sharing our faith at work or online. The good news of Jesus is something we all have a part in sharing. Through our everyday lives – in the local playground, at the bus stop or over a cup of tea – we all have amazing opportunities to introduce people to Jesus. We might not always be sure how it will be received, but the Christian message must be proclaimed. Romans 10:14 says: ​“And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” In this country we’ve got the freedom and privilege of being able to speak up and demonstrate the love of God and the transforming power of Jesus in our communities. *If you would like to make a bulk order of this booklet to distribute to your church, please get in touch with [Flavio Guaratto](mailto:speakup@eauk.org). While the booklet is not for sale, we do ask for a contribution to cover postage and printing costs — this is approximately 40p per copy.* [**Download the Speak Up summary guide**](http://www.eauk.org/current-affairs/upload/Speak-Up-Brief-Guide.pdf) Read more in the full 40-page Speak Up booklet ## Read next [ All news & views ](/news-and-views) - [ ![There is a new wave of men finding Jesus](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![There is a new wave of men finding Jesus](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) There is a new wave of men finding Jesus 7 March 2025 ](https://staging.eauk.org/news-and-views/men-of-faith-are-rising-up) - [ ![Bitesize evangelism – breaking down the mission with a simple tool](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![Bitesize evangelism – breaking down the mission with a simple tool](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) Bitesize evangelism – breaking down the mission with a simple tool 6 March 2023 ](https://staging.eauk.org/news-and-views/bitesize-evangelism-breaking-down-the-mission-with-a-simple-tool) - [ ![4 life-changing habits for good news people in a bad news world](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![4 life-changing habits for good news people in a bad news world](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) 4 life-changing habits for good news people in a bad news world 24 February 2022 ](https://staging.eauk.org/news-and-views/longing-to-be-a-good-news-person-in-a-bad-news-world-try-these-4-transformative-habits)
