Popular Understanding of Evangelisation In its simplest form evangelisation is sharing your faith with another person. It is about proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. It starts with being evangelised ourselves, with a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and conversion to his vision and way of life.
