We think of evangelism as something difficult, embarrassing and challenging. However, evangelism is sharing the story of the greatest answer with other people and enjoying the greatest blessing that God has granted to us. Evangelism is not something that we do with our own strength. How can we experience evangelism?
1. Communication with God
The Biblical figures whom God raised as evangelists to save the generation, such as Peter, Paul and Stephen, were all people who communicated with God. As they saw dying souls, they lamented with the heart that God granted to them and confirmed that Jesus Christ alone is the answer. In addition, they held onto the unique plan that God allowed them and fearlessly moved forward. God desires to save our family, family line, region and the world through us who are weak and lacking.
2. Blessing of the church
Evangelism is the greatest blessing that the church can enjoy. Just like the meeting of Luke and Theophilus, the church is a place where people enjoying the kingdom of God meet. In addition, it is a place where people who have come to the answer through Jesus Christ get together and strive to fulfill God’s plan. There may be people whom we do not get along with inside the church. We must remember, however, that God blesses all meetings. There are disciples hidden at church that God has prepared. We just need to uncover this blessing as we pray.
3. Blessing of the field
All the fields of our lives are an evangelism field and the field of blessings that God has granted to us. When we enjoy the Word of God on a deeper level and are filled with the Holy Spirit, God allows us to meet with those who are ready to hear the Gospel and share the Gospel with them even if we make no effort. It is at this time that we receive the answer of the healing of our soul, mind and body and the culture of the forces of darkness is changed to that of the Gospel. God will be at work wherever the Word is preached.

Let us make an evangelism schedule as we keep in mind the people we will meet and places we will go today. What is the reason why God brought us to this place? What is the reason why God allowed us to meet this person?
