• Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20, Romans 1:16

• Main Ideas:

  • Evangelization is about spreading the good news that Jesus has come into our world, given each of us the chance to be reunited to God the Father, and saved from our sins.

  • The Church exists to evangelize; each of us, in our identity as Christians and members of the Church, share in this mission of evangelization given to us by Jesus in the great commission.

  • Our personal testimony, the way God has worked in real and concrete ways in our lives, is the most powerful way we can share the Gospel with the world and those we encounter.

• Key Terms

  • Evangelization: The proclamation of Christ and His Gospel by word and the testimony of life, in fulfillment of Christ’s command.

  • Great Commission: The call of Jesus to “make disciples of all the nations” found in Matthew 28:19-20. It is the call and mission of the Church and of all disciples.

  • Testimony: A public recounting of a religious conversion or experience.
