Nouwen + evangelism

A growing intimacy with God deepens our sense of responsibility for others.  It evokes in us an always increasing desire to bring the whole world with all its suffering and pains around the divine fire in our heart and to share the revitalizing heat with all who want to come.
--The Only Necessary Thing, p. 62

Evangelism: the place of intimacy with God in me, in you, that draws others to the warmth of soul and compassion that welcomes them into the heart of God.
