Spiritual Gifts: Evangelism

The gift of evangelism is the gift of faith-sharing and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to those we meet. Evangelism is primarily a one-to-one or small group experience, grounded in building relationships with others and inviting them to make a decision for Christ. Gifted evangelists do not force their faith on others, but offer relationship with God as a gift, and are ready to tell the story of God and Christ in their own lives.

Reflection questions: 

● How do you live your gift at home, at work, in relationships with friends?

● What other gifts best complement evangelism, and enable you to increase the value and impact of your faith sharing gifts?

● In what ways can you strengthen and develop the gift of evangelism?

● Where do other people see evidence of this gift in your life?
