How does the Assemblies of God define "evangelism"?

The Assemblies of God defines "evangelism" primarily as the proclamation of the gospel message. This understanding focuses on the importance of actively sharing the good news of Jesus Christ as the central element of the faith. Evangelism is seen not merely as a social or community activity but as a specific call to communicate the message of salvation through faith in Christ. This includes preaching, teaching, and personal witness, emphasizing the urgency and necessity of presenting the gospel to others for their spiritual salvation.

In contrast, while community service and encouraging church attendance are valuable expressions of faith and can complement evangelistic efforts, they do not encapsulate the core definition of evangelism itself. Teaching Bible stories is indeed part of ministry and can support evangelistic outreach, but it doesn't solely represent the broader act of evangelism, which is explicitly about sharing the gospel message.
