Day 24 - 40 Days of Focus: Evangelism

The Gift of Evangelism

Ephesians 4:11, It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists.

All Christians are called to be witnesses and participate in Evangelism but some Christians have been given the gift of evangelism. Do you have this gift? The gift of evangelism is the ability and desire to boldly and clearly communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Evangelists often care passionately about lost people and have a strong desire to see them meet Jesus. They feel compassion for the lost and seek to earnestly understand their questions and doubts so that they can provide a compelling answer. An evangelist often prefers being with people in the culture rather than hanging out with Christians in the church.

Do you enjoy being with non-Christians and sharing the gospel?
Are you able to effectively communicate to non-Christians in a language they can understand?
Does a person's conversion bring you profound joy?
Do you feel frustrated when you haven't shared your faith for a while?
Do you enjoy teaching others how to share their faith?
Do you find it easy to direct a conversation toward the topic of Jesus Christ?
