Is there a need for evangelism?

*

And does the world "need" what we now accept as evangelism? Hey wait a moment, wasn't the point to bring people into the kingdom of justice, love, and respect, which is to say: reality? Do you accomplish that by using advertising techniques and then counting bodies? ("Well, we saved 3,000 souls last night." "No, you forgot a hundred shipped overnight from Poughkeepsie.")

Even a spider knows to look out for what's inside the body, not the shell. And even a spider hunts only one by one.

If the kingdom is something that actually defines one's whole being and existence, you don't talk about it being "needed", like an add-on or an option on a car. You don't sell it, you don't foist it. The kingdom of God is not a "need". Doesn't God call for something better than evangelism? Something about showing and being, not saying.
