Part 1: Introduction

What is Evangelization ?

What is Evangelization?  Definition: “To bring the good news.”  Related to the word Angel Which means “Messenger” Ev ANGEL ize

 How do we bring the Good News?  With Good News Programs: Childrens’ Catechetics Youth Ministry Adult Faith Formation RCIA Bible Studies Retreats

Stewardship is about Actions  Accepting God’s Gifts Gratefully  Caring for them responsibly  Sharing them generously  Returning them to God

Stewardship It is about living your faith!

In Evangelization: The Message is An Invitation: To go to a place that is physically, emotionally, psychologically and/or spiritually different from where you are now.

Evangelization is Our Mission  Connecting people to God  To have a loving relationship with God  Supporting and enriching that relationship

It is what Jesus asked of us.  “Go forth into all the world and preach the Good News _ _ _” (Mark 14:15)  “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations _ _ _” (Mathew 16:19)  _ _ “and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in His name to all nations _ _ _” (Luke 44:47)

“The Church is born from God’s desire to call all people into communion with Him and to participate in His Divine life.” It is about “Loving God and being loved by God.” Pope Francis It is what the Church asks of us.

Evangelization is not a program! Life-long enrichment of a relationship with God.

The New Evangelization  Brought forward by Saint Pope John Paul II  A renewal and re-energizing of our evangelization efforts.

 The Good News  Is “GOOD”

Why is Evangelization Important?  Happiness  The common good  The realization of our full potential.

HAPPINESS  Oxford dictionary: “feeling the pleasure of contentment”

HAPPINESS  Jesus wants us to be happy: “I say this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” John 15:11

HAPPINESS  Sharing our happiness with other is Evangelization.

The Common Good People of faith are: healthier, more productive and more successful. “Health Benefits of Faith” (Bunn & Randall, 2011)
