The job of the evangelist is not done until the evangelized becomes the evangelist.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:16-17 KJVR
Evangelism is nothing more than one beggar telling another beggar where to find food.

Thought for the day
Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed His word by the signs that accompanied it.
A quick note on the sign you don't want to see at your church. My father was pastor of "Little Hope Baptist Church" outside of Canton, Texas when I was a kid. He joked that when he left they were changing the name to "no hope." Interesting thing--the Methodist church down the road was called "Moore United Methodist Church." The two communities shared a community center building about halfway between the churches and called it "Little Hope-Moore."

Benjie,
Thanks for the comment. I knew if I put that picture up it would get someone's attention. How long was your father pastor @ LHBC?
He was there for 5 years, but that was in the mid-1970s.
For a hoot you might look at these posts from Danny Sims:
