* No Short Cuts
* No Easy Fixes
* No Smoke Screens
This approach does require some explanation to new
participants. Contact us through our
eMail Dispatch and we can
furnish a phone number or Postal Address. But, this article
will give you the gist of what can be done.
The main objective is to not let this sit.
People are dying and will forever suffer, if God's people do not
make an effort to take the Gospel to them.
* Give them opportunity for a choice.
* Give God opportunity to bless.

Traditional Soul
Winning is basically 2 areas:
1. greeting, meeting, seating prospects in an effort to get them in front of an open Bible
2. Using an open Bible, to take prospects through salvation
Of the 2, the first one takes the most time and
requires a huge amount of classroom study.
We exclaim ...
Give your students
hands-on experience with the second part
first. Sounding backwards? Hardly. Once a trainee has
experience in the second part of presenting the Gospel, the first
part comes easy, with barely any training at all.
How can this be done?
We use
Team Soul Winning at Public Events. The
Shift Leader
greets, meets and seats prospects to whom 1-4
Workers witness.
The
Shift Leader by passes all the training by
using 3 Questions to qualify a prospect for a witness by a
Worker.
The
Worker by passes all the training by waiting
for the
Shift Leader to send prospects.
Summary
The
Shift Leader only has to learn 3 Questions and the
Worker
only has to learn how to impart the Gospel or simply use our
Witness Pamphlet.
Some object
"I see how the plan is suppose to work, but how can the
Shift Leader find enough prospects for 1-4
Workers?"
If there is a good crowd, some Shift Leaders keep 8-10
Workers busy.
We go on the premise that everyone wants to be saved, but have never
been asked the right question. Over many years of experience, we
have worked up a set of questions that have served us well, as well
as the churches who have learned how to use them. You can see how to
use these 3 Questions in our
3+3+3
= Seated Method. There is no charge, no cost. God gave to
us, we pass it along. We do like to reinforce things with personal
instruction, to ...
* Let the
Shift Leader know what not to do
* Emphasize areas of importance
Once a person is very familiar with the second part
(taking prospects through the scriptures) the first part (getting
the prospect in front of an open Bible) becomes
rather simple, even superfluous. Any soul winner with years of
experience will exclaim that they do not use all the preliminaries
taught in most soul winning courses.
"When you know where you are going, it is much
easier to get started and even arrive on schedule."

Paradox
The problem with beginners is not being able to get to the Bible
without going through all the calisthenics of ...
* "How are you?"
* "You have a very nice home."
* "Do you go to church somewhere?"
None of this kind of exercise is needed to witness to friends or
relatives or neighbors or co-workers or schoolmates. All that
is needed is a confidence in using the Scriptures.
Witnessing to strangers is mostly to spread the Gospel and for
personal experience. So to be
able to witness to people you know, you must learn a lot of "Stuff"
you don't need.
Therefore, we suggest you use Public Events as your classroom.
This by-passes all the warm up talk and moves members directly to
the second part, Bible use.

Shift
Leader - Worker
A
Shift Leader is trained to work the front of the booth to Greet,
Meet and Seat prospects to whom the rest of the members, as
Workers,
will witness.
Most think, "Well now you have to train the
Shift Leader the traditional first part." Not so. This
is where the beauty of Public Events comes into the play. Many
prospects are open-hearted at Fairs, Festivals, Flea Markets, etc.,
and do not require all the
* warm-up
* getting acquainted
* looking for
a chance to bring up the Gospel
* etc.
Neither does the
Shift
Leader have to deal with the questions and objections. To help
even more, we have developed the
3 + 3 + 3 = Seated Method.
TOP
Training
Our
Method takes only about 15 minutes to train
a
Shift Leader
to Greet, Meet and Seat the prospect. We
usually take another 45 minutes to SHOW them what NOT to do.
Everyone is always shocked at how simple this is. A reasonable
person can become 80% to 95% effective and productive after 10 to 30
minutes of work (notice we said "work", not training).
With the
Shift Leader eliminating
the first part of
the traditional training in Soul Winning, this leaves the
Workers to
care for the second part, Bible use.
TOP
Witness Pamphlet
We have also developed a
Witness Pamphlet which
the Worker can READ
to the prospect, the first few times a witness is attempted. This allows for very little training
for the worker. But we do like to spend a service with the
entire church to put prospective
workers at ease so they will
volunteer.
TOP
The Key
Prospective
Workers
need to
only understand ...
Workers only witness to prospects who have
ASKED TO SEE what it takes to be born again.
Workers do not have to
* deal with questions
* objections
* search for rebuttal scriptures
* etc.
Shift Leaders do not have to either. The
3+3+3 = Seated Method cares for 100% of all seekers and 90% of
the "Tire Kickers" and casual "Bible Scholars".
TOP
Local Church
Guidance
A wise pastor will be
present in the booth to help members with their hang-ups, habits, fears, rabbit-trailing
and so on in their witness. All the things taught by
traditional soul winning methods.
Unique
Experience
No other soul winning endeavor affords this kind of ...
