I think evangelists should be like Phillip the Evangelist in the book of Acts. He was an "as you go" sort of a guy, did what the Lord asked of him. He does several things at the beginning of the book, baptizes the Ethiopian then is carried away and we don't hear from him again until Paul stays with him toward the end of the book. And see how the Lord blessed him with a home and a family? No you don't need a football stadium to preach the gospel and it's not about what comes out of your mouth. (More likely its what doesn't come out of your mouth.)

I'm sure the Lord has used some of these big ol' Supersized crusades to bring some folks to the Lord, but as I've said before there's not much aftercare of the babes they produce. Can't say that about the ones who are saved as a result of local church activity--most of the time.

Frankly, if a fellow doesn't get the idea that he needs to get saved after listening to R.C. Sproul or MacArthur or one of those guys then there's a problem that can't be fixed. (I don't know if Packer preaches but that'd be something to hear!)
