I’m not capable of boldly proclaiming the gospel,” might be the objection of some Christians. How we evangelize is a variable, and yet being bold is expected. While not all Christians are evangelists by profession (their daily jobs), we are all evangelists by possession (we belong to Jesus and He is ours). We are all called to testify of Jesus and witness to those who do not know Him (Mat 28:19).
