So here is a thought: though we don't see a command for common Christians to evangelize, it does seem that when people meet Jesus, it is their natural tendency to tell others about Him. So this comes from love and a desire for people to know the Lord, rather than a command. Why wouldn't all Christians want to do this?
"Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 'Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?'" (John 4:28-29)
Andrew brought his brother to Jesus. And when Jesus saw him, he said, “Simon son of John, you will be called Cephas.” This name can be translated as “Peter.” (John 1:42-44)
Woops, sorry, there is a command: As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him. And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled. (Mark 5:18-20)
