What is evangelization?

• A. Sharing the Christian faith with others.
• B. A special prayer service for the community.
• C. The act of building churches.
• D. A religious festival.

Answer: (A)

Evangelization is about sharing the good news about Jesus and inviting others to know and follow him. It combines telling people about God’s love with showing that love in how we live, so others can see what faith looks like in everyday life. It can happen through words—talking about Jesus, inviting someone to church or a youth group—and through actions—being kind, helping those in need, and living with honesty and forgiveness—that reflect the message of the Gospel. It’s not just prayer services, building churches, or festivals; those are separate aspects of faith life, while evangelization focuses on helping others encounter Christ.
