Evangelist

An evangelist is a person who preaches the Christian Gospel. The word 'evangelist' comes from the Greek word for 'bringing good news' (εὐάγγελος). Generally, evangelists are protestants, and lead meetings known as revivals[?], harvest meetings[?] or evangelistic crusades[?].

Evangelists generally lead large meetings, possibly in tents or existing churches, in contrast to street corner preaching[?] where the listeners are only those who are nearby on the street.
