<h1>Evangelism</h1>
<p>Evangelism is sharing the good news of Jesus Christ (i.e. the gospel). As
with all other aspects of Christian ministry, evangelism should be done in
the power and under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Because evangelism is
an expression of God's love for those who don't have a relationship with him
we have to trust him to bring about the results we seek. At Life Church Ministries,
we do evangelism in two ways: proclamation evangelism and relationship evangelism.</p>
<h3>Proclamation Evangelism</h3>
<p>Proclamation evangelism is done through evangelists. New Testament evangelists
are a men and women anointed by God to proclaim the gospel to broad audiences
that often don't know them personally. In other words,
they are anointed to win strangers to Jesus Christ. Put them on a street
corner, at a bus terminal, a train station, or an airport and they will successfully
win people. Unlike the most of the people who operate with the title "evangelist"
in traditional church settings, a New Testament evangelist does his/her best
work outside the walls of the church.</p>
<h3>Relationship Evangelism</h3>
<p> This is the form of evangelism that is most appropriate for the rest of us.
God wants us to develop authentic relationships with the people we come into
contact with from day to day: coworkers, classmates, neighbors, etc.</p>
