Somos un 45% de evangélicos tanto en Patzún como en Tecpán, aproximadamente contamos con 140 iglesias locales, pero pocos participan activamente en el bienestar y el desarrollo comunitario, solamente hay acciones de tipo pesca, se ayuda para lograr evangelizar a alguien, es decir no es parte de su misión, son muchas denominaciones y cada uno tiene su propia teología, en la mayoría de ellos, la misión integral no es compartida,

there are rather passive and unsystematic efforts at spreading the Gospel
This seems to be the sense, especially given the characterization of such efforts as "de tipo pesca". "Spreading the Gospel" or "spreading the word" more idiomatic in English than "evangelize" or "evangelization".
Suerte.

people (only) help to try to convert others
might "acciones de tipo pesca" refer to campaigns to bring others into the Church? (i.e. to be fishers of men)?
pescar
4. tr. coloq. Coger a alguien en las palabras o en los hechos, cuando no lo esperaba, o sin prevención.
"lograr evangelizar a alguien" sounds like getting people to convert by preaching to them, but I could be wrong about that.
It seems to me that people are being brought in, but the well-being and development of the community are not priorities.
