When many people hear the word "evangelism" they shudder. The thought of sharing our faith with others seems to put fear into the minds of young adults. But the Bible does command this for the Christian.
Mark 16:15
And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."
So what's stopping us? Fear. Maybe we are afraid of rejection or loss of friendship and the Bible does make it clear that you will experience loss because of your faith. No matter how practiced you are at witnessing, ever single unsaved person will place fear into your mind. But I don't think you should back away from proclaiming the Good News just because you have some fear. Witnessing is the ability to ignore or step past your fear and tell a person the Good News of Jesus Christ because you care about their soul. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel! Don't wait until you are older because there are so many more people that you can reach in your schools! People need to hear the Good News and you need to spread it.
