After all doesn't evangelism mean one of these three things:
Standing in the high street declaring the need to turn to Jesus.
Knocking on doors and trying to share the good news on door steps.
Boring friends senseless with talk of how good it is being a Christian.
How wrong these fears are. How far from the truth these ideas are. All we need to do is be like my tiny evangelist.
Rachel knows how to evangelise before she even knows what the word means. She knows that God loves her and she loves God and she's not afraid to tell people.
She likes talking to her friends about the fun she has at church, and funnily enough they "want a bit of that".
She's not afraid of inviting her friends to church events, she expects that they'll want to come.
This is what being an evangelist is these days. It's knowing our faith, living our faith, sharing our faith, inviting others to see our faith.
And guess what; it works!
Rachel brings her friends to Sunday School and they ask to come back. They "want a bit of that" and we are always ready to welcome anyone new.
