Summary/Abstract: A man immersed in an anthropological crisis, which is loneliness is assisted by a Christian. Referring to interpersonal relations in the African context the author expresses his conviction of the fundamental value of the encounter in the process of evangelization. This encounter is the first and most basic step in an authentic transfer of faith. The meeting is encouraging for both sides, and the time spent with each other is invaluable.The dynamics of an authentic evangelization always leads to meeting with the person of Jesus Christ. This encounter leads to proper perceiving herself or himself and establishing appropriate relationship with neighbour. When we enter into a relationship with another person, we enrich ourselves. Referring to the biblical concept of meeting, the author indicates the dynamics of faith that prompts us to act for the benefit of others. In this way, the Gospel ceases to be a beautiful discourse and becomes the Good News that changes human life. Where people live the Gospel, the focus is on the human person realizing himself in God’s perspective.
