Does not have to be a Soul Winner
There are a lot of qualities which would be beneficial, but the one
that stands out heads above the rest is "Soul Winner".
Although a Worker does not have to be a Soul
Winner. It is of course very helpful, but not necessary.
See
Something for Everyone for a complete discussion of how
Workers progress in a Soul Winning
Booth.
Workers are any member in the church who wants to
be helpful, regardless of prior knowledge. Any member
qualifies. Age is an exception.
The
booth is not just for Witnessing, but to train
people to Witness. Training without hands-on is not valid, so
Workers must be present who cannot do Soul Winning, to see how
simple it is to get started, jump in and begin one of the stages
(stages found in
Something for Everyone).
The rest of this discussion will be what a Soul
Winner is.
Defining
A Soul Winner is one who gets out the Good News that Jesus Christ is
the Saviour.
A Soul Winner does this with ...
* Printed Tracts
* Verbal Presentation of the Gospel
I know, I know, you are screaming that a Soul
Winning must be able to win the lost. This is about as far
from the truth as can be strayed. God does the saving, we do
the presenting and net dragging (where possible), and even
occasionally we see the Lord
save someone, right before our eyes.
Now, you tell me, where does our application of
"Soul Winning" start and stop? I am simply saying that anyone
who gets out the Gospel in either printed or verbal form is a Soul
Winner or Witness or Evangelist.
Don't get me started on Evangelists!
Age
Since Soul Winning is serious business, distractions with children
should be eliminated. Junior age and down should not be in the
booth. Simply have ladies with younger children offer to keep
each other's kids while working.
There are always well meaning parents who want
their children to be present in soul winning situations for them to
see and experience the occasion. If this is the case, have
parents bring them by the
booth when they are not working, so they
can take the time to show and explain what is going on. If the
parent is working in the
booth, he or she would not be able to help
the child understand nor explain how it all works.
A few junior age children have already won a soul
or more. Of course we rejoice. But there would be no
occasions in the
booth for such a young soul winner to witness.
We do not witness to children 12 and under, unless we obtain their
parents permission. Usually the parent is lost and needs an
experienced teen or adult to handle the situation.
