The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
“But as for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:5

6 Evangelistic Styles
Intellectual:
Paul in Athens (Acts 17)
Jesus (Matthew 22 re: taxes and marriage at the resurrection)
Confrontational:
Peter
Stephen
(Peter) “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know - this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.” Acts 2:22-23
(Stephen) “’You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.’ Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him.” Acts 7:51-54
Invitational:
The Samaritan Woman (John 4)
Matthew (Matthew 9)
Jesus calling James and John, and Peter and Andrew (Mark 1)
Testimonial:
The blind man (John 9)
Relational:
Andrew with Simon (John 1)
Serving:
Tabitha (Acts 9)
If you aren’t concerned enough that people who die without Jesus are eternally separated from him (Hell), there is a more selfish reason to evangelize:
“Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14
How do you get angels activated in your life?
“And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God” Luke 12:8
In other words: EVANGELIZE!
