# Evangelism as a Lifestyle: How to Share Jesus Anywhere > Most people freeze up about evangelism because they picture a script or an argument. The simpler way we've lived it for 12+ years: available, everywhere, everyone. - Author: Daniel Ziedins (https://www.danielziedins.com) - Published: 2026-07-30 - Topic: Evangelism - Reading time: 3 min - Canonical: https://www.kd-ziedins.com/blog/evangelism-as-a-lifestyle Most people freeze up about evangelism because of a picture in their head: a script they'll forget, a stage they don't want, or an argument they're afraid to lose. For over twelve years — since Love on Hamilton began in 2014 — we've watched God move in the most ordinary places. Sidewalks. Bus stops. Shelters. Parking lots. And almost none of it happened because someone had the perfect words. It happened because someone was *available*. Here's the whole thing in three words. ## 1. Available We start the day asking the Holy Spirit to use us, and then we stay alert. That's it. Most God-moments don't arrive on a schedule — they show up in the gaps of a normal day. The person ahead of you in line. The neighbour taking out the bins. The coworker who mentions they're struggling. Availability is a posture, not a program. You can carry it into a workday, a school pickup, or a grocery run. > "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." — Matthew 10:8 ## 2. Everywhere There is no place off the map for the gospel. We've prayed with people in hospitals, malls, campuses, gas stations, and on the street in the middle of a snowstorm. Some of the most significant conversations we've ever had happened in places nobody would call "ministry." Wherever the conversation happens, it helps to be able to say the good news itself in about a minute. If you have never practised that, start with [how to explain the gospel simply](https://www.kd-ziedins.com/blog/how-to-explain-the-gospel). If you want to see how wide this actually goes, [Love on Mission](https://loveonmission.world) maps the Great Commission across the world — it's a good reminder that the same Spirit working on a Hamilton sidewalk is working on every continent. ## 3. Everyone Every person you pass is worth stopping for. Not a project — a person Jesus loves and died for. That single shift changes how you see a room. ## The simplest place to start If you want one practical action from this whole article, it's this question: > **"Is there anything I can pray for you about?"** We've asked it thousands of times. We can count on one hand the people who said no. It costs you nothing, it assumes nothing, and it opens a door that a hundred clever arguments won't. ## What to do when someone says yes 1. **Pray right there.** Short and simple. Out loud. Don't save it for later. 2. **Listen more than you talk.** People tell you exactly what they need if you let them. 3. **Share what Jesus has done for you**, not a theological argument. Your story is the one thing nobody can debate. 4. **Give them a next step.** If they're curious about following Jesus, [I Am Reborn](https://www.iamreborn.net) is a clear, simple place to send them — no jargon, no pressure. 5. **Follow up.** This is where most of us drop the ball. We use [Kingdom Base](https://kingdombase.app) to keep track of conversations and the people we're praying for, so nobody becomes a name we forgot. ## Start with the people already around you Before you go looking for strangers, look at your own circle. The Greek word *oikos* describes your household and relational world — the people God has already placed in your life. Writing those names down and praying for them consistently is one of the highest-return things a believer can do. We built [Oikos Map](https://oikosmap.com) as a free tool to do exactly that. No account required. Just map your people and start praying. ## You already have a role You don't need a title, a platform, or a seminary degree. You need to be willing. If God can use two people walking downtown with coffee and a question, He can use you. If you want to be part of what's happening in our city, [Love on Hamilton](https://www.loveonhamilton.com) hits the streets every week, and [Love on The World](https://www.loveontheworld.com) is taking the same heart to more cities. And if you simply want to go deeper in pursuing the Kingdom first, [Seek First](https://www.seekfirst.world) exists for that. All for God's glory. --- Source: https://www.kd-ziedins.com/blog/evangelism-as-a-lifestyle — Love Overflow, the ministry of Daniel & Katie Ziedins (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada).
