So we have Free will to choose so why evangelize? Why not let folks discover Jesus through their own free will since man is basically good in this twisted worldview. Why diminish God's sovereignity this way?

"So we have Free will to choose so why evangelize?"
1. One can't make an informed choice unless one is informed.
2. Satan and other malign spirits roam the Earth seeking the ruin of men's souls--anti-evangelizing, as it were. We need to counteract that.
3. Jesus told us to.
"Why not let folks discover Jesus through their own free will since man is basically good in this twisted worldview."
This is a real non-sequitur. The possession of free will by fallible creatures under constant attack by Satanum aliosque spiritus malignos is not directly related to the question of what any person will or will not discover.
Second, there is nothing in my worldview to suggest that man is "basically good."
"Why diminish God's sovereignity this way?"
Do what? God in His majesty freely grants us free will because it suits His purpose. There's no diminution of anything inherent in that.
