Recommended: Evangelism & Gospel Proclamation

The gospel is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16). Every Christian is called to bear witness to Christ in word and deed, but evangelism is more than a technique — it is the joyful proclamation of good news. These resources equip believers to share the gospel with clarity, confidence, and compassion in today’s world.
