In this heartfelt episode, we dive into the essence of evangelization as an act of love, inspired by Luke 10:1-9, where Jesus declares, “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few.” Through a personal story of a chance encounter with a man named James, we explore how simple gestures of kindness—seeing, knowing, and loving others—can reflect God’s love and fulfill the call to evangelize. This episode challenges listeners to embrace opportunities to share the Gospel through compassion, courage, and vulnerability, even in the face of rejection.

Key Points

• The Heart of Evangelization: Evangelization is not about preaching doctrines but about inviting others to experience God’s love, helping them see themselves as seen, known, and loved by Him.

• A Personal Encounter: A story of meeting James, a man begging at a stoplight, illustrates how small acts of connection—like asking someone’s name or offering a prayer—can touch hearts and plant seeds of faith.

• The Call to Love: Jesus sends us, like the 72 disciples, to share His love in everyday moments, whether through kindness, prayer, or bold faith-sharing.

• Embracing Rejection: Evangelization can be vulnerable, but facing rejection allows us to share in Christ’s sufferings and grow closer to Him.

• Practical Steps: Reflect on moments to evangelize through an examen of the past month, focusing on gratitude, awareness, forgiveness, and resolve to bring one person closer to Christ.
