To verbally proclaim to somebody, to tell them, "Just believe in Jesus, he'll love you," isn't enough.

People listen to you more if they have a relationship with you. It's about being in the community for a long time, winning people's trust. That's probably the strongest form of evangelism...to be able to be here long-term, witnessing to people, but also just interacting in the day-the-day.
