Evangelize Christians?

It surprises me that some evangelicals spend so much time evangelizing fellow Christians. 80% of Americans are professing Christians (and I take their word for it). Yet a lot of effort goes into evangelism on college campuses for instance. I always wondered how many of those going forward at Billy Graham crusades were really non-Christians or just renewing their commitment to Christ. It seems to me that more evangelism ought to be concentrated in areas of the world where people have never heard the good news.

I understand the argument that professing Christians may not be actual Christians -- knowing about Christ but not really personally knowing Christ.
