Mission, Evangelism, Theological Foundation, Church, RelevanceAbstract
This article aims to examine the theological foundation of evangelistic mission through a biblical review and to assess its relevance for the contemporary church. The research method employed is a literature study with a biblical-theological approach, focusing on the analysis of Scripture and missiological theological works. The findings indicate that the foundation of evangelistic mission is rooted in the nature of God as the sending God, the incarnation of Christ as the supreme example, and the work of the Holy Spirit who empowers the church in its mission. Its relevance for today’s church lies in the call to proclaim the Good News within a global context marked by secularization, religious pluralism, and the demand for authentic Christian witness.
