Evangelism

[Tab'le De'Bah-Rye]

Dominus Vobsicum,
Firstly i believe not all are called to evangelical mission as there main stay, some are called to mainly bank amongst bretheren as there mainstay,as long as we are not burying our talents. But in that there is always the oprurtunity to sew a seed in the world at times even as a banker(maybe not to prepare the soil and than sew,but aye anything is possibly to GOD).
Firstly we can not clasify any person in our hearts,this is a mortal sin and immediatly blocks us from making any in roads if one is evangelical, most of the world is agnostic and my understanding of this word is "one whom is searching" even though they may say they are athiest or pagan etc and with those whom self proclaim this an evangelical needs to be ready to fight for them with prayer and sound foundation in the sacrements and the word of god. You need to be ready to forgive 70 times 7 times, in days this equates to 1 year and 3 months of constant attention untill they are baptised or return home to confess, what i think i am learning is when this time is up if there is little to no progress one must accept the other persons choice to not believe and we need to apply the jesus words that it is better to go into heaven with half your body than into hell whole.And also gospel asside there is somone else out there dying to recieve the gospel of repentance and salvation.
Anyone elses experience of evangelisation and/or correction of anything i have just stated please respond.Please feel free to rebuke me anytime even the lord had to rebuke saint Peter twice i think.
God Bless

oh and not just prayer and the sacrements and the word of god,but to be able to set aside an hour or two at the least most days to be with the potential brother or sister in christ to speak in general and in faith matters.But also to never beaver dam inside our hearts,also i am learning that an evangelical needs a support net work of other christians to pray for the evangelist and spend some time with the evangelist each week,whether they to are evangelists or bankers.
All of the great evangelical saints had an order arround them to fall back on or i assume to pull out of harms way if they started to sink into the pits of hell. This has happened to me over the last 2 years since i have zero support from anyone else except my god son whom was only baptised last easter and has a interlectual disabilty.Maybe the only support that stopped me from using heroin to calm my furious blaze towards the un supportive nature of fellow christians.
