Avoid evangelizing around churches of other faiths and other places that might be contentious or difficult. The subway platform at 8 am won’t find most people in a chatting mood. Use your judgment. It might be a great idea to evangelize outside a punk rock club on a Friday night, if you can pull it off, or it might just lead to arguments. Make sure to follow any solicitation laws in the area and abide instructions from business and property owners who might want you to move on. Be courteous and leave.
Favorite verses and stories. Important verses. The story of your faith. Your history in the church.

Avoid pressing the persons that are totally closed to you, but persist with the ones that are open. Listening closely will help you to gauge this interest and open them up even more.
It’s important to treat this conversation as a conversation between two people, putting a face on the Church. In general, you’ll want to avoid getting into overly complicated discussions of dogma and theology, focusing instead on the importance of faith and salvation.
