Early in Mark’s gospel, Jesus introduced the concept of evangelism by saying,

“Listen carefully to this. A farmer went out and sowed some seed…”

At the end of His earthly existence, just before He ascended into heaven, Jesus clarified exactly what He expected of his disciples:

“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.”

 If this is your first encounter with Jesus in the gospel, you would do well to look for a local church where you feel comfortable, and learn all you can from the pastor and the church’s ministry team.
