Why Evangelism Still Matters // Pastor Amelia Houdek

Evangelism isn’t karaoke gone wrong or a scary assignment—it’s living God’s love out loud, wherever you go. Jesus says, ‘As you go, teach them all I have taught you.’ And what did he teach? Love God. Love your neighbor. Forgive freely. Welcome the forgotten. Show mercy. He taught it through stories, around meals, by walking with people, and by loving them where they were. That’s why evangelism and mission still matter—not because we carry all the answers, but because the good news of Jesus is still good, and the world still needs it.
