The Patient Soulwinner

Profile picture for user Jerry Ferrso
By Jerry Ferrso, Monday, October 23, 2023

Patience! Does any Christian not need to grow in this area? We want our questions answered immediately, our trials resolved quickly, and every irritation removed yesterday. It doesn’t matter if we are at Costco trying to figure out which checkout line will be the fastest or at a restaurant wanting our food at lightning speed. We have an agenda.

Athlete Outreach

Profile picture for user Justin Engelman
By Justin Engelman, Tuesday, August 22, 2023
Reaching out to athletes and coaches provides a tremendous opportunity to reach a large percentage of a public school with the message of the gospel.

It doesn’t take long to notice the great spiritual needs at the average public high school. But getting into a local school with a gospel ministry can be challenging. One avenue few churches consider is through the athletic programs. In most public schools, athletics is a hub for student life. Ministering to the athletes and their friends is a way to serve a large percentage of a school.

Resolution: Invite Someone to Church

Profile picture for user Dave Delaney
By Dave Delaney, Tuesday, January 12, 2021
My father was not raised in church. When he was in his early 20’s, someone invited him to a church service. As a result of being invited to church, Jesus changed his life forever. My dad got saved that night, ended up going to a Baptist college and met his wife (my mom). My brothers and sister and I were raised in a Christian home because somebody invited him to church.

Pure Religion in Missions

Profile picture for user Dr. Don Sisk
By Dr. Don Sisk, Saturday, August 24, 2019
When We Love God, He Gives Us Love for Others
In writing to one of his converts, Gaius, John commended him for many things. First, John was pleased that Gaius knew the truth. If we are to be true to God, we must know the truth. In our day with so many tools available to us, there is no reason for any Christian in America to be ignorant of the Word of God. It is vital for our spiritual growth that we read, study, memorize, and meditate on the Bible.

What I Observed From A Seasoned Soulwinner

Profile picture for user Scott Pauley
By Scott Pauley, Wednesday, July 10, 2019
Recently, a dear man in the church where I was preaching asked if we could go witnessing together. It was such a privilege to listen to him share Christ with holy enthusiasm. He has been doing it for over half a century.

Sowing As You Go

Profile picture for user Adam Fridenstine
By Adam Fridenstine, Friday, April 26, 2019
There is nothing more rewarding than serving the Lord. But sometimes we get into survival mode and we forget to fulfill the Great Commission. The fields are white unto harvest.

5 Practical Tips for Sharing Your Faith

Profile picture for user Dr. Paul Chappell
By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, April 22, 2019
Most Christians know that God has called them to be witnesses for Him and to share the gospel with others. But sometimes—perhaps out of fear, perhaps out of preoccupation—we miss opportunities to do so.

Different to Make a Difference

Profile picture for user Dr. Mike Edwards
By Dr. Mike Edwards, Saturday, February 16, 2019
Sanctification Should Open Doors for Soulwinning
I have concluded that it is far easier for God’s people to be different than it is for us to make a difference. In fact, it is often far more comfortable and convenient, even satisfying, to retreat into our minds, our homes, our churches, and celebrate our being different than the world, while smugly thinking ourselves to be a little better. However, that is not what the Lord commanded us to do.

The Good News of the Gospel

Profile picture for user Jerry Ferrso
By Jerry Ferrso, Friday, January 25, 2019
What Are You Doing to Spread the Good News?
Have you ever heard the saying, “I’m going to squeeze everything out of that turnip?” In essence, the statement refers to making the most out of any given situation. As we think about soulwinning, we should possess the same mentality—I am going to make the most of this visit.

Responding to Skeptics

4 Ways to Share Biblical Truth with Those Who Reject Its Basis
It is no surprise that America has become a post-Christian nation dominated by secularism. The news media, major universities, and elite institutions control the conversation of our culture. Skepticism is growing in power and influence.

Sowing and Reaping in the Lord’s Harvest Fields

Profile picture for user Dr. Tim Rabon
By Dr. Tim Rabon, Thursday, October 27, 2016
We Must Sow if We Intend to Reap
As a young man, I was touched by the truths of Psalm 126:5–6, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” These verses moved me to be active in the harvest fields of the Lord.

6 Places to Find Soulwinning Prospects

Profile picture for user Dr. Paul Chappell
By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, October 24, 2016
Soulwinning Should Be a Way of Life
We know that Jesus came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). But sometimes we forget that He actively sought those who were lost. For Jesus, gospel outreach was no passing interest or occasional hobby. He looked for lost people and personally brought them the message of salvation through Himself.

Evaluating Your Own Witness
We cannot always measure effectiveness by visible fruit. Some of my favorite testimonies of salvation are of people who trusted Christ after repeated witnessing attempts by multiple people.

Understanding Islam

Profile picture for user Ministry127
By Ministry127, Thursday, August 25, 2016
A Conversation with Edgar Feghaly
A lot of fear that Western Christians have about Muslims comes from a lack of understanding of the Islamic faith. Some Christians are deceived and pulled away from the faith. Others, such as Christians who burn the Koran, fail to show Christlike love and undermine missionaries’ efforts to win Muslims to Christ. There is a spiritual warfare raging between true Christianity and the Islamic world. We do not wrestle with flesh and blood, and this war will not be won through military might or political demonstrations. Only the gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to overcome the darkness of this world.

Is Your Soulwinning a Passion or a Program?

Profile picture for user Dr. R. B. Ouellette
By Dr. R. B. Ouellette, Saturday, May 14, 2016
Always on Duty
It was 1948. A young soldier had been released from the Army after World War II and intended to go to Columbia University on the GI bill. General Eisenhower had become the president of Columbia University, and this young soldier thought, “If it’s good enough for Ike, it’s good enough for me.”
