Evangelism comes from the Greek word for "Good News" (euangélion). Evangelism is sharing of Good News.

Evangelism is the proclaiming of the Christian Gospel or, by extension, any other form of preaching or proselytizing. The word evangelist comes from the Koine Greek word ευαγγελιον (transcribed as "euangelion") via Latin "Evangelium", as used in the canonic titles of the four Gospels, and thus The Evangelists are the authors of the four Gospels -- traditionally known as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (also known as the Four Evangelists). The Greek word ευαγγελιον originally meant a reward for good news given to the messenger (ευ = "good", αγγελλω = "I bring a message"; the word angel is of the same root) and later "good news". The latter term gives rise to the word "Gospel".

For many groups, a church planter is called an apostle. Sometimes, the regular minister of a church is called a preacher in a way that other groups would typically use the term pastor. The evangelist is one that travels from town to town and from church to church, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The evangelical movement in Protestant Christianity encompasses denominations and parachurch organizations such as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association which, among other characteristics, focus on evangelism and the drawing-in of new converts. In common parlance, the title of evangelist is most easily associated with those who lead large meetings like those of Billy Graham, possibly in tents or existing church buildings, or those who address the public in street corner preaching, which targets listeners who happen to pass nearby on the street. It can also be done in small groups or even on a one-to-one basis. Increasingly, the Web enables anyone to become an Internet evangelist.

The term is also used in a non-religious sense to describe an individual who takes up a cause and convinces others to it. Guy Kawasaki, an author and venture capitalist, describes evangelists as individuals who promote a particular product. At Apple Computer, he was part of a team of Apple evangelists that convinced programmers to develop software on the Macintosh Platform. In The Human Fabric (Aviri, 2004), Bijoy Goswami describes the "Evangelist" as one of three core energies in people and society.

Evangelism is sharing something you have found that is so wonderful, you want someone else to try it.

I am not sure who the "Four Evangelists" you refer to are; I need more datail. I'm guessing you may be referring to the four Gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John....? I believe the only Evangelist mentioned in the Book of Acts was Philip? (Sorry--I don't have my Bible and Concordance with me right now, so I can't be real certain.....)

Evangelism is spreading the news about the Gospel. The four evangelists were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Matthew was one of the apostles. He wrote his book to the Jews to prove that Jesus was the Messiah.

Mark was a disciple who hung around, but wasn't one of the apostles. It is believed that he transcribed the book from Peter, who was illiterate, while he was in jail waiting to be executed.

Luke was a doctor. He interviewed eye-witnesses to determine what really happened, then wrote his gospel accordingly.

John was the apostle closest to Jesus. He wrote the book to share his story because he experienced more than the other apostles.

Hope I answered your question.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Evangelism is from the Greek, meaning "Good News." Evangelism is spreading the gospel, which, strangely enough is from the Anglo-Saxon meaning Good News.

A lot of people think it's rubbish, though.

the explanation why your mothers and fathers wont sign it rather is via the fact they comprehend that its a foul concept. everybody who gets married decrease than the age of nineteen has an 80 5% risk that it will bring about divorce. the cost is even bigger if there's a toddler in contact. Do your self a tremendous want and purely WAIT. there is not any harm in that, you have already had a toddler, so why can no longer you purely wait? in case you would be jointly continuously besides, why does it remember once you get married?

my grandpa used to have a saying:
The four evangelists are the following three: Luke and Mathew.... you can tell that 50 years ago they had a very different sense of humor. anyway, they are:
Mathew, Mark, Luke, John.
Evengelism is the act of spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus who died to attone for everybody's sins so anyone who is willing to accept His sacrifice, can be considered "righteous" and worthy of heaven.
