Soul Winning of An Evangelist

This document discusses the role of evangelists based on a sermon about Ephesians 4:11-12. It provides the example of Philip the evangelist from Acts and his encounter with an Ethiopian official. While evangelists proclaim the gospel to new areas and people, their role is also to equip other believers to share their faith. However, many Christians do not evangelize due to feelings of shame over their testimony or faith. The document encourages believers to not be ashamed of Jesus and to use their own story as a tool to tell others about God's love and redemption.
