"evangelist" (Ephesians 4:11)

This is what I am trying to grasp. Is our understanding of evangelists as mentioned in Ephesians as a gift of one being called faulty? We tend to separate the evangelist and the discipler, but I wonder if the greek describes a closer relationship between the two in Ephesians 4:11 ("some as evangelists")?

I just see evangelism without discipleship being mostly a lost proposition. It has very good intentions, but the end result is often making 'immature' Christians at best.
