'Souls For Jesus'
PLANNING INSTRUCTIONS
Time for Witnessing:
Thursday Evening [7:00-8:00] during daylight saving time, and
Saturday Morning [11:00-12:00] during standard time. This
will eliminate knocking on doors during the dark evening
hours and provides continuity for your outreach ministry.
Preparation for Witnessing during Wednesday Evening
Prayer Meeting:
- Recruit those who will be going witnessing and pray for
them during prayer time by asking for a show of hands of
those who will be able to definitely come out at the
appointed time. Make an audible count of those who raise
their hands, and announce a final number. This will provide
the Leader/Pastor with the number for his preparation of
materials and also emphasize accountability to those who
volunteered.
-
Recruit the Prayer Team for Thursday Evening and divide
the [7:00-8:00] time into equal prayer periods. The time
will depend on how many volunteer for Thursday Evening
Prayer Team. Give out the names to prayer teams on Wed Eve. of
those you will be witnessing to on Thur. Eve.so that the
Prayer Team can pray for them by name.
-
Be sure to give opportunity to the Soulwinners who were out witnessing last week to testify of their experiences from the previous week. Speak to the previous week's Soulwinners before the service encouraging them to share their experiences from the past week.
-
Include a measure of accountability when calling for testimonies from the Soulwinners and encourage those to come out who could be silent partners. Also husband/wife teams, father/son/daughter are encouraged to participate and will make great Soulwinning teams.
-
For effective door to door witnessing, knowing the location/directions to homes and the names of the people at the homes you are visiting will help the soulwinning team greatly. You can do this by paying for a list of new move-ins in your zip code. Computer Assisted Marketing ,45 Old Country Road South, Newbury, New Hampshire 03255, Ph. 603. 763. 5965, Email-jimdav@kear.tds.net and New Neighbors Contact Service 1-888-250-8550 are companies that can supply names and addresses of the new people moving into your area. Maps can be printed of the specific area, street, number at yahoo.com under the SEARCH box click on 'Maps'. Most all search engines will have a link to provide maps, not just Yahoo. Using the printed maps will expedite the visiting effort by supplying names, addresses, and directions in one specific area. If using a list for new move-ins, request that those who move within your zip code not be included in your list as these names would be repetitious and not newcomers to the area.
-
Utilize an accurate record keeping system by using 3x5 or 4x6 or our cards containing the name, address and any pertinent information gained from the visit such as the names of the Soulwinners and the date the visit was made and the results: saved, unsaved, church, responses to questions etc. This information can be used to determine if a revisit is necessary by the Pastor/Leader at a later time. Cards and maps must be returned to the Pastor/Leader ASAP and kept in files for revisits.
-
Additional Soulwinning information can be gained from the Soulwinning Newsletter messages at our website: btmi.org/articles.html and look in the list of past Soulwinning newsletters.
-
The recommended sequence for using the files/info provided:
- "Reasons" is an outline of a message which is the first
to be presented to your people w/appropriate invitation.
- "Facts" is an outline of a message which is the second
to be presented to your people w/appropriate invitation.
- "Prayer" provides a list of Soulwinning Opportunities
and Biblical instruction on how to pray. This information
can be presented along with the second message or used as
a third message w/appropriate invitation.
- "Plan" provides an actual dialogue for witnessing
house to house utilizing the survey/question method and
can be modified to be used with a 'New Move-in Introduction'
or simply 'We are visiting your area Introduction'.
- "Records" is the file used to print out visit record
cards on card stock for each person/home you have visited.
These cards must be filled out ahead of time by the
Soulwinning Leader if the addresses or names are known
before hand.
Key: The primary motive for Soulwinning/Witnessing is your
love for Jesus! If you have lost/left your love for Him,
and are motivated only by other pressures from without,
you are first of all living in sin for your lack of love
for Him, and secondly you will not have the power of the
Holy Spirit to be an effective witness. The cure, of course,
is full, from-the-heart-confession, repentance and
re-establishment of communion/abiding in Him.
Remember, the reason for Soulwinning/Witnessing must be
your love for Him, because circumstances, people and
churches may change and could cause you to quit in
discouragement and disappointment! But, Jesus will never
change! He will never discourage or disappoint anyone,
especially the saint who is set upon fulfilling their
primary purpose for being here, which is witnessing to and
winning 'Souls for Jesus'!!
