EVANGELISM for non-EVANGELISTS: Can we do this?  

Standing outside of the Van Andel Arena a year or so ago I watched as an earnest man with a portable speaker loudly proclaimed the gospel to a crowd of people headed for the arena doors to catch the Griffins hockey game.  His gospel presentation was spot on but the crowd parted like the Red Sea around him.   Most could hardly bear to look at him as they hurried to get past the preacher.  I could not help but both admire the guy and feel embarrassed in that moment.  Is evangelism forever associated with the odd overbearing types?
