What does Evangelism mean?

The World today has so many people calling themselves Evangelists or televangelists because they preach mostly on television or using social media. But have you wondered what Evangelism really means?

In Christianity, Evangelism is the act of preaching the gospel with the intention of sharing the message and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Christians who specialize in evangelism are often known as evangelists, whether they are in their home communities or living as missionaries in the field, although some Christian traditions refer to such people as missionaries in either case.

Some Christian traditions consider evangelists to be in a leadership position; they may be found preaching to large meetings or in governance roles.

In addition, Christian groups that encourage evangelism are sometimes known as evangelistic or evangelists.
