(33) What Is Evangelism? (BC 30, part 2)

God has so ordered his church that "there should be ministers or pastors to preach the Word of God" (Art. 30). The church must send ministers to preach the gospel so that sinners can hear the good news and call on Jesus to be saved (Rom. 10:14, 15).
But the duty of gospel proclamation does not belong to ministers alone. Instead, ministers are "to equip the saints for the work of ministry" (Eph. 4:12). To be faithful evangelists we should understand seven foundations for biblical evangelism.
