Evangelism: A Sacred Call for Women

Evangelism is the heartbeat of God’s mission—a sacred calling for every believer. Evangelism is the act of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ—His life, death, and resurrection—with others so that they might come to know Him personally and receive salvation. The word “evangelism” comes from the Greek word euangelion, meaning “good news” or “gospel.” In essence, evangelism is inviting others to experience the transforming love and grace of God through faith in Jesus.

Sharing about Jesus isn’t just for those who are conducting oversees missions. It is for all of us who are daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and friends.  We are called to extend God’s invitation to join his kingdom by participating in God’s redemptive mission to restore a broken world. This occurs by speaking and breathing life into people who are already in our daily lives.  What does it mean to extend God’s invitation to a lost and broken world?
  1. The Great Commission - Our Calling to Share the Gospel - Jesus commands His followers to go out and share His message everywhere. Evangelism is not optional as it is the mission of every believer. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surly I will be with you always to the very end of the age” Matthew 28-19-20.
  2. The Power of the Gospel - The gospel itself carries the transforming power of God.  When we share it, we’re offering other access to that life-changing power.  “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” Romans 1:16. 
  3. God’s Desire for All to Be Saved - Evangelism reflects God’s heart as God desires everyone to turn to Him and experience grace. “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:9. 
  4. The Example of Jesus’ Mission - Jesus came to reach the lost and His followers continue that mission by sharing His message of salvation and hope.  “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost” Luke 19:10. 
  5. Shining God’s Light - Evangelism includes living a way that reflects God’s love so others are drawn to Him through our example. “You are light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house” Matthew 5:14-16. 
As you ponder the above list of evangelizing or extending God’s invitation, take a moment and rate yourself. On a scale of 1 to 3 (with 1 being you never do it, 2 you sometimes do it, and 3 you always do it) where would you rate yourself on: sharing the gospel, providing others with the power of the gospel, reflecting God’s heart with everyone being saved, helping reach the lost, and shining God’s light?  

There are several practical ways we, as women, can evangelize.  The intention is to extend God’s invitation to offer hope where there is despair, love where there is loneliness, and truth where there is confusion. It’s joining God in His redemptive work helping others find their way home to His kingdom where forgiveness, purpose, and eternal life awaits. As you read the list of ideas below think about the people you know in your life (family, friends, acquaintances, children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, neighbors, church family) and how you might be able to impart God’s truth and hope.  Who in your world orbit could benefit though speaking the words of life?
  1. Proclaiming the Message of Hope - We tell others that through Jesus, forgiveness, reconciliation, and new life are available (Romans 10:14-15). The gospel declares that no one is beyond God’s reach, no matter how lost or broken.
  2. Demonstrating God’s Love - Evangelism isn’t only about words as it’s about showing God’s compassion through our actions.  When we serve, forgive, and love others selflessly, we reflect the heart of God and make His Kingdom visible on earth (Matthew 5:16). 
  3. Inviting Relationship, Not Religion - Extending God’s invitation means inviting others into personal relationship with God, not simply adherence to rules or traditions (Galatians 3:23-24).  It’s about helping people discover their identity and purpose as beloved children of God. 
  4. Participating in God’s Restorative Work - The world is marked by pain, injustice, and despair, but God’s kingdom brings healing, justice, and peace.  Evangelism invites people to become part of that renewal (2 Corinthians 5:18-20) by joining God in bringing light into darkness. 
Evangelism means sharing and living the gospel so others can encounter the love of Christ and accept His invitation to be part of His kingdom where grace, mercy, and new life abound. Have you answered the call of evangelism? If so, keep it up my dear sister. If not, what are you waiting for?
