Evangelization
The charism of evangelization (or evangelist) allows a Christian to share faith and God’s love to inspire others to become disciples of Jesus. Someone with this gift finds sharing the Gospel to be life giving and are able to relay the message of Christ with ease and allow others to come to know God. An individual with the gift of evangelization is empowered to share one’s faith and personal witness within and beyond their community. These individuals step out of their comfort zone to share the Gospel to those on the peripheries as well as those closest to them.
Some people are taken by surprise, when scoring high on the gift of evangelization. Maybe because it has become synonymous with aggressive and very public methods of spreading the word of God. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit gives a special grace to those with this gift allowing them to share their personal witness and relationship with Christ in a way that is inviting and intriguing. Evangelizers gently draw seekers in to discover and yearn for their own relationship with Christ.
Evidence of the charism of evangelization is not how one shares the Gospel or their witness, but more importantly the fruit that comes when they do. Others are inspired, intrigued and compelled to become a disciple of Jesus after one possessing the charism of evangelization has shared the Gospel or their witness with them.
