The word evangelist comes from the Greek word meaning messenger of good news. The primary job description of an evangelist is found in the Bible, in the book of 2 Timothy, Chapter 4,
Verses 2 to 5. "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. (3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; (4) and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (5) But you be watchful in all things, jendure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry (New King James Version)." Evangelists spend a significant amount of their workday preaching the good news, which is that Jesus died for our sins and wants to have a personal relationship with us.

He also spends time reading the Bible to learn how to live a Christian life, to interact with different types of people and respond to different situations so that he can set a good example for those he is speaking to.

Spending time with the Bible and praying can help an evangelist gain a deeper understanding of God, and of the Bible.
