We use Team Soul Winning
The Shift Leader works up front and is trained (takes about 15 to 20 minutes to show this person what to do and about 45 minutes to show what NOT to do) to Greet, Meet and Seat Prospects with 3 Questions (this is all they must memorize, 3 very simple, logical questions).

The Workers work at counseling tables and they receive prospects from the Shift Leader. They only talk to prospects who have already ASKED TO SEE what it takes to be born again. This training takes just one regularly scheduled service and has to do with
1. realizing they will not confront anyone,
2. realizing they will only talk to willing prospects who have ASKED TO SEE how to be saved,
3. realizing that they do not have to be convincing, God does the saving, they just do the telling,
4. realizing how to obtain prospect contact info (our method obtains 9 out of 10 names, address, phone, age, email and a short written testimony),
5. realizing they do not have to be proficient soul winners, but can actually read the witness from a specially designed Witness Pamphlet (form and instructions for the form can be downloaded free )
6. realizing they can become proficient in a very short time because of large number of prospects who actually want to SEE how to be born again,
7. realizing there are many, many people who would like to SEE what it takes to be saved, who would decline if asked if they want to be saved, because they do not know what it is all about.

The Team concept is simple
The Shift Leader works up front, finding prospects and sending them to Workers at the tables. One Shift Leader can keep 1-6 Workers busy, if there is a good size crowd.
The Training is simple. Very little classroom time. Mostly all hands-on, without confrontation issues, without dealing with objections, without memorized scripts.

Location
The best place to do the training is at a regularly scheduled church service.

Cost
* Cost for training is free. It is a ministry. We are supported by Baptist churches from Florida to Washington state, and many individuals. We do accept offerings from churches to help cover abnormal expenses, but offerings are not mandatory. But it is mandatory that each of us do what we can to reach our community with the Gospel.
* Cost for the booth space rental ranges a great deal from free to thousands of dollars, depending on the length of the event and the crowds it attacks. The Texas State Fair is 24 days, 12 hours per day and cost $2000 just for the space.
* Cost for the booth equipment is minimal: The 3 Door Board can be made by most anyone with a power saw. Signage for the 3 Door Board can be downloaded free, printed on an Inkjet and laminated for a few dollars. The 10' x 10' canopy (if the booth is to be outside) ranges from $125 to $300 depending where it is purchased.  Many churches have members who already own a canopy.  The front table (20" x 48") is about $25 from Wal-Mart. The 2 counseling tables (18" x 24") are about $25 each from Wal-Mart.
* Cost for tracts is affordable.  We know the tracts we use to be the most effective for Receiving, Retaining and Reading are about $30 per thousand. On good days, a booth can distribute 1000 tracts per day.
* Cost for forms used for obtaining contact info and other incidentals can be downloaded for free from this site and printed from your computer.
* Cost for a banner (3' x 5', 2-3 color) is about $100.
* Cost for parking at the event ranges from free to $10 per vehicle.
* Cost for admission at the event ranges from free to $10 per person.

How to go about the training
Churches usually have us come for a single service where the Workers are trained and then afterwards burn about 1 hour to train the Shift Leaders. We urge the pastor to be one of the Shift Leaders. It is vital for the pastor to see and understand the soul winning progress of his members.
If the event is one day, 6 hours long, only one Shift Leader and 2-6 Workers are necessary.
If the event is one day, 8 hours long or more, 2 Shift Leaders and 2 crews of Workers with 2-6 Workers per crew.

Training individuals for a personal ministry
If a church is not involved, we can train a motivated individual over the phone and with DVD's. The work can easily be done alone. We do it all the time, but it does take some dialog to cover all the bases. We would also need to know a lot about the individual's church background, salvation, etc. We prefer to deal with churches, but we have individuals widely dispersed across the country, who have their own ministry and work by themselves or with churches. Amazing Grace Mission also has about 50-60 couples who work state fairs and large regional fairs on 4 continents.

Fear of the unknown is binding
Please feel at ease with how this works and how we can help. You are going to be amazed at the simplicity and yet the effectiveness of our methods. You will also be very glad you took the step to inquire and the next step to compare schedules to see how we can help you reach your community with the Gospel.

One last word
We speak often of witnessing, soul winning and reaching the people of your area. But, the most immediate benefit from doing this type of work is the joy church members get out of just doing something for Jesus Christ. They also gain years of experience in just a few hours. They are very apt to be better witnesses to relatives, friends, neighbors, workmates and schoolmates. These are the steps that build churches, through personal growth and maturity.
