The Great Commission, to proclaim the gospel and make disciples in all the world, finds its model in the ministry of Jesus, who approached two brothers and said, “Come, follow me.” In these few words, the model for witnessing and invitation began. Prayerfully consider your neighbors, co-workers, friends, and family who yearn for a life of meaning and purpose, and to find a caring community that will support them in their life journey.

Evangelism is the practice of genuine hospitality, friendliness, and inclusiveness lived out in your congregation as you encourage people to respond to the invitation to become disciples of Jesus Christ. The challenge “Each one, reach one,” calls you to tell your story of finding “living water” through Jesus Christ. If we each respond to the Great Commission, to make disciples of all people, our testimonies will multiply, our congregations will grow, and many lives will be transformed by Christ’s Spirit.

Open your hearts and feel the yearnings of your brothers and sisters who are lonely, despised, fearful, neglected, unloved. Reach out in understanding, clasp their hands, and invite all to share in the blessings of community created in the name of the One who suffered on behalf of all." —Doctrine and Covenants 161:3a
