The Best Prospects are not Strangers
Most successful church leaders and pastors will tell you that
dealing with strangers is not the best place to find prospects.
We should, of course, spread the Gospel with every human being,
friend or foe. But the best place to find open hearts who will
listen and more likely come to church is amongst people you know:
* Friends
* Relatives
* Neighbors
* Workmates
* Schoolmates
Everyone
should be involved
This is why soul winning has to be done by all. The pastor
does not know the men with whom you work, nor your cousins.
Only you can reach them with the Gospel.
Start with
strangers.
Get your
confidence and boldness up by dealing with people you do
not know. Move on to people you know. You can get them
into church.
Fairs, Festivals and Flea Markets are an excellent
place to take your members to sharpen their skills in soul winning
AND spread the Gospel at the same time. As the
confidence and
boldness picks up, they will want to start talking to people they
know. At this point is where solid church building begins to
take place.
