* Prayer
* Decision Card
* Finish up
* Referral

This tract is often used in a Soul Winning Booth where there is a Shift Leader sending prospects to Workers who do not have much experience in Witnessing.

The Soul Winner should read through the tract several times, so he or she knows where the tract is going and how it gets there.  This is also an excellent time to ask an experienced person some questions about the tract.

TOP

Start
When the prospect arrives at the counseling table he or she has already ASKED TO SEE what it takes to be saved or born again, so the first page gets right into the Witness.

TOP

Reading vs Memorizing
The Soul Winner can easily read the tract to the prospect.  Do not feel like reading it is a second rate Witness.  The prospect does not think that everything must be memorized.

TOP

At first, do not worry about the prospect answering questions
Questions are mostly rhetorical until  the soul winner reads down to "Isn't this Great News?"  As the 3 following questions are read, attempt to get answers from the prospect.

TOP

Prayer
Read on down to the Prayer.
Read the Prayer to the Prospect a single line at a time, then ask the question to the left.

Example
Read: "Father, I am a sinner"
Then ask: "Are you a sinner?"

Read: "I deserve judgment and sentencing in the lake of fire"
Then ask: "Do you deserve judgment and sentencing in the lake of fire?"

Keep reading on down through the fifth line, then ask:
"I am sure you would want to pray this prayer or one like it or be lead through this prayer, wouldn't you?"

Most will want the soul winner to lead them through this prayer.  Some soul winners do not give the prospect a choice, but as soon as they agree they want to pray, begin leading them a line at a time in this prayer, without the questions to the left.

TOP

Decision Card
As soon as they finish praying, ask them to fill out the Decision Card with something like:
"Fill this out for me right quick, then I want to give you something before you leave." 
Most will oblige, in order to receive whatever you are going to give them.
The Decision Card can be given to the prospect anytime after the prayer, whenever the Witness is comfortable in doing it.  Just do not let the prospect get away without completing one.

Finish up
Now start reading where it says,
"Now ... How can you know (the proof) ..."
and go to the end of the page.
Only read the parts on the last page that go with the prospects answers to the questions on the page just referenced (next to last).

TOP

Referral
If there is a local church working in the booth, they can stamp the tract with their imprint.  Then the last 2 questions on the last page can be in reference to the church.
