Evangelism

I've been thinking about evangelism recently.  Most of us, I think, most often think of people like Billy Graham or Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on our door when hear the word "evangelism."  This past winter I attended a conference in Arizona and I heard a new proposal for an "evangelism strategy" based on Jesus' sending of the 70.  In that story Jesus sends his followers out 2 by 2, so it was suggested that we don't go alone.  Another key element was telling the disciples to enter a house and say, "Peace be upon you" should they welcome you in.  So the suggestion was you find your person of peace, somebody that is a potential friend.
 
It is this point that I've gotten caught up in, finding your person of peace.  It's gotten me to think of Ruth and her, relatively, famous quote of, "Where you go, I will go..."  Ruth is so moved by her relationship with Naomi that she is willing to go with her anyway, even give up her religion, her faith, to follow Naomi's God.  What a remarkable thing.  What if we lived lives so compelling that others would want to follow the God we worship?  What might that look like?  It sounds a lot less intrusive than banging doors of strangers who don't want to listen to you.  It is as simple as living the life God has called us to.  So it seems we are all witness, we are all evangelists in a sense.  Wasn't it St. Francis who said something like, "Preach at all times.  If in doubt use words."?
