Why Evangelists?
The church is called to proclaim the Goods News ('Evangel') of God's love for the world in Jesus Christ.
Evangelism is not an extra for enthusiasts; it is a central part of being the Church. In all churches there are those with particular gifts for evangelism, people who are good at helping others discover a living relationship with Christ. The New Testament calls such people 'evangelists' and encourages us to recognise and support their gifts.
