There is one truth in evangelism about which all can agree: Most of those who do not know Christ are not in any church on Sunday mornings.
This being true, much of the work of evangelism must take place outside church walls. The proclamation of the Gospel from the pulpits of the land is necessary each week in the church, but just as necessary is the sharing of the Gospel by believers with the lost wherever they encounter them.

Personal evangelism is not a task God assigns to "trained professionals." It is not a task rooted in a special skill set or a certain type of personality or particular gifts. Personal evangelism happens when Jesus splashes out of those who follow Him.
Personal evangelism is introducing Jesus into conversations and relationships whenever possible and appropriate.
