What Is an Evangelist?

The Southwestern Methodist thinks “it is time to insist on the Scripture meaning of the term ‘evangelist.’ He is not an evangelist who goes about to well-organized churches, and, with the co-operation of pastors, and members, holds revival services. No matter how great a stir that man may make, or how great a revival he may lead, he is not an evangelist. ‘An evangelist’ is a messenger to those who have never heard the gospel. He builds not on another man’s foundation; he presses into the regions beyond the ministry and labors of others.”
