Summary
In this powerful Next Gen Friday message, Pastor Olivas shares inspiring testimonies from local evangelism efforts, street preaching, and even an unexpected porch encounter that led a stranger to salvation. Rooted in Luke 15 and 2 Timothy 4:5, this sermon challenges every believer to “do the work of an evangelist”—not just inside church walls, but in everyday life.
Whether it’s a volleyball outreach, street preaching, or just answering the door, the heart of evangelism is seeking and saving the ONE. Because in heaven, one soul is worth everything.
