Unique Approach
to Soul Winning

Up-Dated - Monday, October 06, 2008

* No Short Cuts
* No Easy Fix
* No Smoke Screen

This approach does require some explanation to new participants.  Contact us through our eMail Dispatch and we can furnish phone number or Postal Address.

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.  Then it is left with the lost and in the "lap of God" for disposition.

Traditional Soul Winning is basically 2 areas:
1. greeting, meeting, seating prospects in front of an open Bible
2. Using an open Bible, to take prospects through salvation

Most of traditional training is in the first part.  All this class-room  training is not necessary.  Once a person is very familiar with the second part (taking prospects through the scriptures) the first part 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.

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 for 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.

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 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.

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".

Local Church Guidance
A wise pastor will be present in the booth to help members with their hang-ups, 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 ...
* hands-on training
* supervision
* prospect exposure
And turns out the kind of results we see all the time.
