‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.

NKJV
The duty of the Evangelist is to take the cross of Jesus and spread the message of Jesus salvation globally. An Evangelist must be ready to Go and embark on a mission.
An Evangelist should be mobile, using various media to evangelize starting from his/her home, from one village to another, city to city, country to country, and continent to continent. He has the world has his constituency, and should therefore be willing to spread the good news to all nations.
The work of an Evangelist should end up in conversion of sinners to Christ. The Evangelist is also charged with the responsibility of educating new converts on the rudiments of Christianity. His duty does not stop in converting sinners, but following up new converts, teaching them the word of God, counselling them, praying and interceding for them, directing them to appropriate Churches to fellowship with other brethren, and generally ensuring the growth of new converts in the Christian faith, living in absolute holiness and righteousness in obedience to God.
Evangelist is also expected to demonstrate love, care, and compassion to the people. Evangelism should not be turned into a commercial venture.
Section C: (12.40am-1am)
Prayers
- Holy Spirit give me the wisdom and sensitivity to know how to preach the Gospel so clearly to each person I speak to in Jesus name.
- Holy Spirit give me clarity of mind and speech to tell someone about Jesus in Jesus name.
