Evangelism

Evangelism is derived from a Greek word with its literal meaning “good news.” It is commonly related to the missionary work. It is the duty of every evangelical to spread the message of Jesus Christ to the whole ministry. Evangelism can be analyzed in four different stages: missionary operations, the time of Christ, the modern era, and the late 20th century to the present. Evangelism has a global mission in increasing faith in Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, Christ tells his adherents to “go make disciples of all nations.” After the death of Christ, some rendered this passage literally, and evangelism became a Christian mission enterprise soon. (Lakeou, 2005)

Origins

Televangelism initially started as an American development from a largely broad media who allowed access of television to people who could afford it, combined with the number of Christians who funded the project. With the increase in globalization, the televangelists have spread far across as from where they originally started. Televangelism is gaining popularity with the passage of time in South American countries such as Brazil and Republic of Chile. Some countries have a more regulated media where there are restrictions on the access of such TV programs. In such cases religious viewership are broad casted via TV companies. (Epstein, 1975)
