Some treat evangelism like a four-letter word. Or worse. Like something toxic. Can’t touch it, do it, or even talk about it. Saying we don’t do that here.
And we know the reason isn’t about the idea of evangelism, but how some have narrowed our common understanding. So we choose to make an important aspect of our faith off limits to ourselves. And we refuse to share our life of faith.
There is a long list of things Evangelism isn’t. But what it is is sharing. Sharing what we love with other people. For the sake of being with them.
This isn’t actually sales. We have no product. Beyond us anyway. Our time. Presence. Love.
And there are a million ways to express this. With our families and friends. Not just our neighbors or total strangers.
