EVANGELISM 101

---

Do you have a passion to spread the Good News about Jesus? Do you find that everywhere you go, you talk about the goodness of Jesus and your experience in Christ ? Maybe you want the world to know that there is another way to live and people can experience eternal life through Jesus ? Well, you may have the gift of evangelism! Now, there is a difference between a preacher and evangelist. The Bible says in Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. We are all to go and preach to everyone the gospel. You will find evangelist in the field not the church building, seeking lost souls to bring to Christ. Modern day churches have associated the title of evangelist with a minister that goes church to church preaching in the pulpit but the work of the evangelist is actually going out to bring the lost in. The role of the evangelist is mentioned only two times in the Bible.  In 2 Timothy 4:5 it says But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. In Eph 4:11 it says And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. Although, the role is  only mentioned twice, the evangelist is very important in the body of Christ. The evangelist must be watchers within the Kingdom of God. We must go though trials and tribulation as we spread the gospel. This is our ministry.
