If you know the difference between a game of catch and a game of dodgeball, you’ve got a great metaphor for evangelism; namely, the Good News should come to people, not at them. People (and not just Jewish people) often dodge the gospel unless, or until, they are prepared to receive it. That is why we should continually ask God to prepare people’s hearts. But we also can help prepare people through what is sometimes referred to as ‘pre-evangelism’.
