The Role of the Evangelist The primary passion of the evangelist is to communicate the saving power of the cross. He/she welcomes any setting or platform from which to speak, and comes as Gods announcer, delivering with an urgency the message of salvation to those who are lost. An evangelist communicates the good news of Christ, finding the open doors into the culture and building a platform from which to speak to his/her generation. Secondly, the evangelist serves the local churches as the initiator, the spark plug, the fire-starter whom God uses to bring revival to the body of Christ. The evangelist is the person sent from God with a Biblical message and brings a fresh encounter with the Holy Spirit working among the people. As believers receive from and believe God, God begins to demonstrate His will and presence in tangible ways, and so others are brought to Christ. The combining of ministries of the evangelist with a pastor/church is one of Gods purposes for the harvest of souls in a local setting. A third role that the evangelist fills is one of motivator and equipper in the work of evangelism. Members of the local church should be trained in lifestyle evangelism, opportunity evangelism and event evangelism. JY
