Introverts often aren’t fond of evangelism. It sounds like asking them to sell used cars. They (we actually) struggle to figure out how we fit into the equation of reaching new people.
There are times we need to do uncomfortable things…things we aren’t particularly gifted at but there is something I want to call your attention to and that is this – evangelism is like a spear. There is the pointy end and the stick. We get all caught up on who is at the point but not who is pushing it.
Here is what I mean – someone is the point person (literally) – the first contact. What happens when they invite people to the gathering? They need people with other gifts to receive the new people – great teachers, comforting shepherds and so much more. This might be where you find your spot in the process.
So don’t get too worked up on how uncomfortable you get going out and talking with people. It may be that you need to receive them.
