Summary/Abstract: The proclamation of the Good News is the imperative of Jesus Christ. The Church constantly proclaims the Gospel through the pastoral work. However, there are special impetus for the revival of the evangelical message directed to the people of today. Recently that moment became World Youth Days, which took place in Krakow in 2016. Such a general meeting especially of young people, during which prayer, singing and preaching the Gospel are important, requires a lot of organizational eff ort, hence such a work is defined in pastoral theology as the organizational ministry. In this case, the point was to direct the Gospel message to all societies. These societies in turn are very diff erent with the mostly liberal tendencies. Hence there is the question: how to eff ectively proclaim the Gospel in contemporary societies. The Church’s response to this is the new evangelization. This is practiced mostly in new religious movements and through them it is easier to reach people with the Gospel.
