Listen to how an atheist views the importance of evangelism to a Christian!
Penn Jillette has a lot to say about religion, he is an atheist, but here is a provocative video where he tells of someone who gave him a Bible.
He says some interesting things that Christians should remember when talking to unbelievers:
He was complimentary
He said nice stuff
He gave me...
He looked me in the eye
He made it personal (Penn says: "He said I wrote in the front of it, wanted you to have it)
He was not defensive
He was truly complimentary, kind, nice, sane, looked me in the eye
He cared enough about me to talk to me
Here are some other things he said about the encounter and evangelism (proselytizing):
It was really wonderful
I don't respect people who don't proselytize
How much do you have to hate people to not proselytize, if you really believe heaven and hell is at stake
He cared enough about me to talk to me
Not all atheists and unbelievers are interested in being evangelized, but everyone is interested when you care about them. Evangelism must be driven by unadulterated love for the person you are speaking to. It is not a debate or an argument, it is an expression of care and concern.
