evangelization
Missionary outreach work
Evangelization is the act of spreading religious faith, particularly Christianity, through preaching and missionary work.
The term extends to any zealous promotion of a cause or idea: His evangelization of open-source software converted many skeptics.
Corporate evangelization involves passionate advocacy for products or platforms, as when tech companies employ "evangelists" to build enthusiasm among developers.
