Evangelism Today

So many times evangelism is equated to conversions. The "best" evangelists are those who have the most "conversions." I was pondering lately the idea of modern evangelism. The idea of mass conversions failed to impress me.

Instead of "conversion," maybe we should be focused on "conversations." That is the evangelism today. Truly loving people for who they are and introducing Christ not in a formula but in a real life on-going conversation. Rather than "proving God," we should allow the Holy Spirit guide us in conversations.

worng with "modern evangelism" only if there is discipleship. there is a word that is synonymas with evangelism. it is discipleship. more often than not, discipleship is forgotten, and all we think about are the #'s.. toooo many times new "conversions" slip through the cracks because the lack of it. thats why being plugged into a church is soo important, and it also teaches you how to love people you dont like.
