This involves a positive testimony. In the mission field, presence evangelism may take the form of medical or agricultural work. By meeting people's needs, the evangelist opens their hearts to the preaching of God's Word. The emphasis of this approach is on the explanation of Scripture. Most Sabbath morning sermons take this approach.
Preachers help people to understand the gospel.
But they do not know whether anyone in the audience has made a commitment. This method illustrates the traditional understanding of evangelism. The emphasis of this approach is on doctrine. It persuades people to make a decision for Jesus and His truth. A preacher who, during Sabbath morning services, invites the congregation to respond under the power of the Holy Spirit through an appeal or an altar call is utilizing persuasion evangelism.
