The Gospel is not just for those of a certain age. Jesus himself teaches that we should invite children to believe in Him. Ultimately, Evangelism begins in the home.

You don’t have to share Jesus with others – you get to share Jesus with others! Maybe the reason you struggle in evangelism is that you’ve never considered what a privilege it is.
If the gospel is true, then we shouldn’t be somber or sorry to share it. We should announce the work of Jesus as the best news we could ever deliver to another person.

It’s time to go the 2nd mile in bringing friends along.

The job is incomplete when someone comes to faith in Christ. Discipleship – and not conversion – is the goal. Evangelism is necessary, but it is not ultimate.
