However, in his evangelism he specifically chose a core group by which he molded into the people that would build him a kingdom. There are many techniques that Jesus employed to get his apostles to fully understand the implications of his message. After finding individuals who would be teachable, Jesus' main technique was to allow his apostles to follow him throughout his teachings. In this way they would be able to begin to comprehend his message and also through Jesus' actions begin to understand how to live the life of a Christian. Although Jesus demanded much from his apostles he also gave them his own love. The chief technique that Jesus employed while he was with his chosen disciples was to share with them his love, and when they understood that they were not keeping with a law, but responding to One who loved them with his entirety they were willing to give themselves to Him. Another chief technique was to show the apostles how to live. Jesus allowed them to observe him in prayer to the Father, and through his actions demonstrate how one must live in order to follow in Jesus' footsteps. Even though the apostles could not fully understand why he did these things, they could still emulate his actions and in turn begin to understand only after. Jesus never forced the lessons upon his apostles but rather made sure that they were the ones who actively sought understanding.

Jesus not only showed the apostles the experience of God's worship, but he taught them the importance of turning such knowledge into action, in this way he was able to make a kingdom. In the first of the evangelical missions, he told his disciples to "preach the Kingdom of God and heal the sick," in such missions Jesus gave his disciples very detailed instructions from what specifically to do, say and live. In effect, his tutelage allowed them to develop into able individuals who understood how to evangelize just as Jesus evangelized to them. Most importantly of all however, Jesus taught his disciples how to produce "his likeness" in and through the Church into the actual world. In duplicating his vision, he was able to strategically give the entirety of his vision upon his core group and allow them to spread the Gospel to all.
The lesson that Jesus teaches us about evangelism is that this is not a very easy task; rather the act of evangelism must be taken in deliberate action. In order to evangelize, one must first understand the purpose behind such actions, which is to spread the word of God and the Holy Spirit to all. In order to evangelize, one must first find capable individuals who are teachable and can be molded into ideal evangelists and walk them through the steps of evangelism. Only after training these individuals in the techniques of instilling true love and understanding of the Holy Spirit and the Gospel can they effectively evangelize.
