"The apostles, prompted by the Spirit, invited all to change their lives, to be converted and to be baptized", because the Church on the journey is needed for salvation. The same Jesus Christ, who is present in His Church, precedes, accompanies and follows the acts of all evangelists, and thanks to Him, their work bears fruit. What happened at the Beginning, is happening throughout the human history again and again. The author of this contribution aims to look into the contemporary forms of announcing Jesus, as it is the innovative nature of evangelization the world really needs to experience in the Church. In the Church that always seeks a human being and wants to freely give him "a drink from the spring of the water of life" (Rev 21:6). This purpose of the Church has been taking new forms and shapes throughout the history, thus reflecting the place, the situation and the historical circumstances.
