How does election relate to evangelism and missions?

The doctrine of election supports the mission of the church by assuring believers that God has 'much people in this city' waiting to be called through the preaching of the gospel (Acts 18:9-10). This belief does not deter evangelism but instead inspires it; knowing that God has chosen a people unto salvation encourages believers to share the message of Christ boldly. Conversely, if it were solely up to human choice, it could create a despairing environment where people might think their efforts are futile. Instead, the assurance that God has His elect motivates believers to preach with confidence, as they are participating in God's divine plan of salvation for His chosen ones.
