Ministry of the Evangelist

The Key Function of the Church 

Ministry of the Evangelist; Christian; Gospel; Church; Missionaries; Discipleship; Every believer is called to all five ministries in some capacity. For example, no one is allowed to say, “Sorry, I’m not an evangelist, so I don’t need to evangelize.” Evangelism is part of every believer’s mission.  Paul told Timothy (who was arguably either a pastor or possibly an apostle) to “do the work of an evangelist.”

The key function of the Church as a whole, is to reach the lost before they die in their sin and wind up in Hell, and eventually cast into the Lake of Fire where they shall be tormented day and night for all eternity.

Everything thing else we can do on earth, we can also do in heaven. Like praise and worship etc. Therefore everything we do should revolve around evangelism. Even the work of sanctification is to empower us to reach the lost and glorify God.

The difference between Evangelism & the Ministry of the Evangelist?

It’s important for us to understand that going out evangelising doesn’t make us evangelists. It makes us saints doing the work of ministry. It’s what all disciples are called to do, whether they are Pastors, Teachers, Apostles, Prophets or part of the congregation. It is every disciples responsibility to proclaim the Gospel. So don’t be afraid, we are not trying to make you an Evangelist, we are just helping to make you a real Christian. The purpose of the Evangelist is to equip believers to proclaim the gospel under the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit.
