In the Bible, the term "evangelist" refers to a person who proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ, effectively serving as a messenger of the Gospel. The word itself is derived from the Greek term "euangelistes," which means "bringer of good news." This role is prominently highlighted in the New Testament, where the evangelists are often associated with the authors of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each of these writers is seen as an evangelist because they convey the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, fulfilling the Great Commission given by Christ in Matthew 28:19-20, where He instructs His followers to make disciples of all nations.In addition to the Gospel writers, the term is also used in Ephesians 4:11, where Paul lists evangelists as one of the gifts given to the church for the purpose of equipping the saints for ministry. This highlights the role of evangelists not only as preachers but also as teachers and leaders within the Christian community. Notable figures in the early church, such as Philip (Acts 21:8), are explicitly referred to as evangelists, emphasizing the importance of this ministry in spreading the message of Christ throughout the world.
