Evangelism is the act of sharing the Christian gospel, which is the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. It often involves spreading the “good news” about salvation and eternal life through Jesus, with the intention of inspiring others to embrace Christianity2.
The term originates from the Greek word euangelion, meaning “good news” or “gospel.” Evangelism can take many forms, such as personal conversations, preaching, distributing religious materials, or even through media and missionary work. It’s a practice deeply rooted in Christian traditions, with its purpose often tied to fulfilling Jesus’ directive to spread his teachings to all nations1.
Evangelism isn’t reserved for clergy or religious leaders—it can be practiced by anyone who feels called to share their faith. The “average person” can be an evangelist by integrating their beliefs into daily life, demonstrating kindness, living in accordance with their values, and simply talking about their faith with others.
You don’t need formal training or a platform to share the message of hope or love that resonates with you. Many people practice evangelism in casual conversations with friends, family, or coworkers, while others volunteer or participate in community outreach.
Evangelism is the fifth step in the A, B, C’s of Salvation-Accept, Believe, Confess, Discipleship, Evangelize.
I have written several books to help the new believer along their path of Salvation, but the last two, just published are about taking that step into Evangelism. “Prayer to Purpose” and “Battle Ready” are two great books to aid in your journey.
They started as a single book, but I decided to split evangelism into two books as there is so much information to pass along when you are ready to take this step. I think you will enjoy both.
If you have not had a chance to check out any of my books, I would ask you to take a look, they would be extremely helpful to any new Christian.
