What is evangelism?

Scott Dawson writes, “A majority of believers in this country do not have enough confidence in their knowledge of their faith to share it with another individual. Could it be that we have assigned evangelism, which is the natural outflow of knowing Christ, to an elite of believers who have achieved something special? My fear is that programs that were developed to enhance evangelism have now elevated evangelism to a level that intimidates most believers. Evangelism in its purest form is me sharing with you what Christ has done in my life” (Scott Dawson, ed., The Complete Evangelism Guidebook, 13).
