What type of evangelist are you Poll?

Friendship/lifestyle or contact evangelist?

Contact means that you prefer to witness to strangers. You love tracts, open air preaching, street evangelism and knocking on doors. Although not all contact evangelists may do open air preaching.

Friendship/lifestyle evangelism means you prefer to witness to people you build a relationship with or people at work and people that can see the influence of your life.

Both forms of evangelism have scripture support but what form do you prefer?

Explain

I don't know if this was the explanation you are looking for but here it is

I work in a shop environment where my fellow co-workers are worldly and they have no desire to know anything about Jesus at all, it grieves me that although they're very nice people, they are all headed to hell unless God removes the scales from their eyes.

I have shared my faith with a few men in my shop who have listened to what I've said but it has fell on deaf ears. I just pray that God will give me wisdom, courage and boldness to share my faith to others. One of the problems I have is I'm a very introverted person so I keep to myself most of the day and since I don't communicate with a lot of people. I'm perceived as a strange person. I wish I had a warmer personality and great speaking skills that would attract the lost.

I have had to distance myself from fellow co-workers just because of how conversations in a shop environment can get very disgusting.
