1. Evangelism by compassion -- others will be attracted to Christianity if we are actually helping them with their worldly needs.2. Evangelism by life change -- if I'm no different from anyone else except that I'm forgiven, then Christianity is useless. If Christianity is true, then others should find me someone they want to be like, someone they want to be around, someone they can count on.
3. Evangelism by the miraculous -- read 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5a and 2 Corinthians and Galatians - power accompanied the coming of the gospel in the early church. The fastest growing segment of Christianity is in the southern hemisphere in the 2/3rds world and it is charismatic. I know that not everything is genuine, no doubt. But, there should be manifestations of God's power in signs and miracles all around us, if this thing we call Christianity is true.
