Evangelism is telling others about Jesus. And it’s more than just mentioning His name – if people are to be saved, then they need to know who Jesus is, what He did for each and every person, and why.“The way you store up treasure in heaven is by investing in getting people there.” - Rick Warren
“We should be more concerned with reaching the lost than pampering the saved.” ― David McGee “But for this purpose, I have raised you up...so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.” - Exodus 9:16 “When a man is filled with the Word of God you cannot keep him still” - Dwight L. Moody “To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world.” - Charles Spurgeon “Any method of evangelism will work if God is in it.” - Leonard Ravenhill “The mission of the Church is to seek and to save them that are lost.” - James H. Aughey “And he said to them, Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” - Mark 16:15 “To call a man evangelical who is not evangelistic is an utter contradiction.” - G. Campbell Morgan Don’t wait for a feeling or love in order to share Christ with a stranger. You already love your heavenly Father, and you know that this stranger is created by Him, but separated from Him, so take those first steps in evangelism because you love God. It is not primarily out of compassion for humanity that we share our faith or pray for the lost; it is first of all, love for God.” ― John Piper “Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46)” “Everything in Scripture is either preparation for the Gospel, presentation of the Gospel, or participation in the Gospel.” ― Dave Harvey “Ministering Christ to others so that Jesus might be reproduced and grow in people is the highest service to both God and man.” ― Henry Hon The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose. --C. S. Lewis The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed -- Hudson Taylor Be to the world a sign that while we as Christians do not have all the answers, we do know and care about the questions. -Billy Graham How many people have you made homesick for God? -Oswald Chambers Evangelism is not a professional job for a few trained men, but is instead the unrelenting responsibility of every person who belongs to the company of Jesus. D. Elton Trueblood "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me." ~ Isaiah "We Christians sometimes think we need a plan for evangelism. I don't think Jesus had an evangelism plan. I think He just interacted with the people He came into contact with." ~ Matt Diaz "Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life." ~ Luis Palau "Being an extrovert isn't essential to evangelism - obedience and love are." ~ Rebecca Pippert "Evangelism and the local church are inseparable. It's like the Good Samaritan seeking an inn for the one he rescued." ~ Reinhard Bonnke "If you as a pastor don't have a passion for evangelism then don't be surprised if your people done either." ~ Aubrey Malphurs "The depth of our repentance will determine the depth of our revival." ~ Frank Bartleman "Evangelism, in its purist form, is an overflow of worship." ~ Bill Johnson For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Romans 1:16 “Give a man a dollar, and you cheer his heart. Give him a dream, and you challenge his heart. Give him Christ, and you change his heart.” Anonymous “If you want your neighbor to know what Christ will do for him, let the neighbor see what Christ has done for you.” Henry Ward Beecher “The church has many tasks but only one mission.” Arthur Preston The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free. Luke 4:18
