An evangelist should focus on

• A. what God is doing in the local church
• B. the church budget
• C. personal reputation
• D. outside ministries only

Answer: (A)

The main concept tested is the evangelist’s alignment with what God is doing in the local church and partnering with its leaders to advance the gospel within that context. An evangelist should tune into the Spirit’s activity in the local body, help believers grow in faith, and act to extend the church’s gospel witness where the church already exists. This keeps ministry grounded in a real, ongoing work inside the community the church is called to serve, and it works through the local church’s leadership and mission.

Focusing on what God is doing locally is more foundational than other aims. The church budget is an administrative concern; while stewardship matters, it should support mission rather than be the evangelist’s primary focus. Personal reputation reflects worldly motives and can undercut humble service by Christ’s example. Outside ministries matter, but they should flow from and be coordinated with the local church’s mission, not replace it.
