What is an Evangelist? I. What are the biblical words that form the basis for evangelism? There are three main Greek words that are used in connection with this ministry in the New Testament.

A. To announce good news (euaggelizo) Euaggelizo literally means “to announce good news or glad tidings”. This word is descriptive of the ministry, the work or the activity of evangelism (Luke 16:16; Acts 5:42; 8:4; 17:18).

B. The good news or the gospel (euaggelion) This word means “the good news or a good message.” It is the word that is most often translated “gospel.” This word is descriptive of the message that an evangelist brings (Mt. 24:14; Acts 13:32; 20:24; Rom. 1:16; 10:15; I Cor. 4:15; Eph. 1:13).

C. A preacher or a messenger of good news (euaggelistes) This word means “a preacher or messenger of good news.” This word is descriptive of the person who brings or announces the good news and is usually translated “evangelist” in the New Testament (Acts 21:8; Eph. 4:11; II Tim. 4:5).

II. What are the different expressions of evangelists as represented in the Bible? A. Jesus was an evangelist. Luke gave a summary of this ministry of an evangelist in relation to Christ in Luke 4:18-19.

Here Luke lists six things that were going to characterize Jesus’ ministry as the evangelist. 1. Preaching the gospel. 2. Healing the brokenhearted. 3. Preaching deliverance to the captives. 4. Preaching recovery of sight to the blind (Mt. 11:5).

5. Setting at liberty them that are bruised. 6. Preaching the acceptable year of the Lord (Lev. 25:8-34). Luke portrays the preaching of the gospel as being the primary purpose for Christ’s being sent. (Luke 4:43; Luke 7:22; 8:1; 20:1).

B. Jesus sent His disciples out to evangelize (Luke 9:1-2, 6). C. The Early Church continued the work of evangelism. 1. They went everywhere preaching the word (Acts 8:4; 11:20). 2. They preached in villages and towns (Acts 8:25, 40).

D. Jesus appointed certain people to be evangelists (Eph. 4:11; Acts 8:4-25; 21:8). Apart from Jesus, Phillip is the only one in the New Testament who is actually called an “evangelist” (Acts 21:8). Therefore, we can use the life and ministry of Phillip as a model. On the basis of his life, we see that the evangelist is:

1. A traveling ministry. 2. A ground-breaking ministry. 3. A Holy Spirit led ministry. 4. A ministry having the ability to preach and communicate the Gospel. 5. A ministry that can expect signs and wonders (healing and deliverance). 6. An expert soul-winner (private).

7. A harvesting ministry (public). 8. An example of the practice and methodology of evangelism. 9. An equipper of the local church. E. All believers have been called by God to the work of evangelism and to be a witness for the Lord (Mt. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-18; Acts 1:8).

III. What does it mean to be a witness? A. To be a witness is to be ready to give testimony of what you have seen and heard (Acts 4:18-20; I John 1:1-4). B. To be a witness is to live a life that attests to your confession (I Th. 1:5-7; I Cor. 11:1; I Tim. 4:12).

C. To be a witness is to let our light shine through the good works that we do (Mt. 5:16; Acts 10:36-39). D. To be a witness is to share the gospel message when the door of opportunity is open (Luke 21:13; Acts 4:33; 13:31- 32; Eph. 6:19-20; Col. 4:2-4).
