Background: The Surf Church community uses surfing as an unusual tool to pursue evangelization. In addition to providing transparency, surfing also enables the community to get in touch with young people who belong to Generations Y and Z. For this community, surfing represents a way to intelligibly reach out to young people in terms of both communication and evangelization. This article seeks to explore the influence the evangelization by the Surf Church Porto community has on Generations Y and Z, with a special focus on the life, lifestyle, and personality of the evangelized. Based on the results from grounded theory research it strives to propose a theory of evangelization. Conclusion: In its conclusion, the article will also attempt to outline opportunities for the dialogue that follows from the conducted research and has the potential to contribute towards making evangelization in general more attractive.
