Abstract
Evangelization is a s response to God's call to proclaim the good news of the kingdom, and refers to the comprehensive process in which the gospel is announced, the message is accepted, and the recipient becomes a member of the Christian community. This process does not end with the establishing of the new church, but it is rather a continuation of the evangelizing activity. Conversion happens when people respond affirmatively to the evangelization process. Today Christian conversion focuses not only on people who joined the church, but also on a growing relationship with Jesus and in his discipleship. Sometimes we need also to be cautious regarding superficial conversions or false conversions when some people say they have no problems because of the power of Christ in their life. Pope Paul VI summarizes his understanding of conversion saying that conversion is intended also for the collective of humanity, that means that is referring to the cultures in which people live with all their attendant socioeconomic and political structures. Conversion becomes a never-ended and lifelong process.
