Church based is really a form of marketing, trying to get people to come so they can hear the message. So much of what we call evangelism (at least in my denomination) is another term for marketing. Most folks in the circles I run in have a hard time with the individual side of the equation -- joyfullying sharing the good news of God's love -- with another person.
