We were driving and saw that there was a funeral. One of the team members said they asked the pastor earlier if they could speak to the people but he told them no .I went in and asked permission and did the soul winning script and 60 people said the prayer !

Won 82 souls to Christ today!!! I was used to ministering to people one on one. Today I was able to get out of my comfort zone and hop on buses and win souls to Christ!! Hallelujah!!!

After returning home to Azle, TX after soul winning at the nursing home yesterday afternoon, I read the gospel soul-winning script to my 79 year old mother and 82 year old father and they both prayed and asked Jesus in their heart! I have been praying for them and claiming them for the Kingdom for 15 years!  Thank you Jesus!!!!  Glory to God!! Hallelujah!!…  God bless you all!!

I was in the train soul winning and I witnessed to a Buddhist, she received salvation, and then I prayed for her ankle which was hurting her and it was healed!

On Tuesday, myself and a group from Word of Life Church went to Fry’s parking lot on 88th and lower Buckeye Rd.  Out of 103 people we talked to, 62 gave their lives to Jesus.  One of them was a lady who for years sold me the liquor that fed my addiction.  She now belongs to God.

I walked over to 3 teens and I started to read the Gospel script and then two of them walked away, and the other one stayed, and I asked him the questions and he answered all the questions and said the prayer.    While I was out, this family was walking out of the movie theater and I went to them and started with the script and led them to the Lord.

I went to the nursing home today for the first time.  I set a soul goal of 5, but I got to pray with 17 people.  One group was a grandma with her daughter and two grandkids.  They all received Jesus.  Then I prayed a scientologist lady.

On Monday, we had 49 souls as a group, so we said, “Hey, let’s get 50.”  So we prayed with this man Auturo who said, “You used to sell me drugs but now I see you and I see God!”

In the nursing home, there was this one woman that could barely hear me so I prayed that she would be able to hear with the hearing aid and after I prayed, she gave her heart to the Lord.  When I was coming back down the hall, she said that she was hearing a lot better.

I’m not one of the people who have been radically transformed and lead 50 people to Christ each week. At first I was embarrassed to write anything because I felt like I can’t say that my life has changed. I had to take a step back to see if there really was a change. After looking at the whole school year, I can say ‘Yes’.

The first thing I noticed is I’m actually going out and winning people to Christ and liking it. I’ve gone out with my former church and on a couple of the GAT’s, but now I’m much more comfortable with soul winning.

I haven’t prayed with large numbers of people since I’m mainly going door to door in the projects. I’ve spoken with a large number of people and prayed with quite a few of them. Many were already saved so that opened the door for praying for needs. Door knocking was very hard for me at first. Now I enjoy it.

I’ve started praying with people for healing and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. I didn’t think I’d ever do that. It’s very cool when you’re praying with a person and he starts speaking in other tongues. I’m not sure who’s more excited; him or me!

I think the biggest thing I’ve noticed is that I don’t take rejection personally any more. I have always been a very timid, self conscious person. If someone would walk away without praying, I’d be devastated. This year I’ve had doors slammed in my face, people turn and walk away, people get angry and make nasty remarks and it’s almost like I didn’t notice it.

For me, this is just the beginning. I expect more boldness each time I go on the streets and I expect God to be there with signs and wonders following as His Word goes forth.

I started out frustrated because the area my soul winning group went in was not very productive. People wouldn’t come to their doors. Someone had already prayed the prayer with a lot of them. I found out also that many people think they are Christians just because they go to church, or because they are good, and I have learned to keep going with the script on those people. I am bolder in continuing with the script now.

I have noticed that when I read the script, people’s focus gets locked onto the reading of the script. They literally look they could not move their head when I look up at them, like the Holy Spirit is arresting them. I know the gospel works, I have learned no matter how resistant they are to me while speaking from the script, if I continue, most of the time, and they end up repeating the prayer after me.

In my day to day life, I want to get to where I speak to every single person I come in contact with. I want to be able to not worry about time or if I am running late, if a soul is at stake. I want to see more healings and the power of God flowing freely everywhere I go, so the name of Jesus can be glorified and magnified on this earth! I want to get out into my whole neighborhood so they can be saved. I’m hoping I can get my family to start helping me and get them on fire to win souls. I want to be able to walk in stores and get whole groups saved at one time. I want more boldness in restaurants and everywhere I go to carry the fire of the gospel!

Since I came to RBI and started soul winning I seen the lives of many touched and changed by the Lord and my life and heart has been changed. At first I didn’t understand the importance of just using the script, but I did it anyway. I now realize that it’s the importance of the Word. That the power is in the Word of God. Every time I got off the script it was harder for me to lead someone to the lord. When I just read it, it is easy. God’s Word is where the power is. This was a big lesson to me not just for soul winning but for ministry. The less of me that gets in the way, the more God can do through me.

This year I have had the honor of leading many people to Jesus Christ and praying for them. I have seen many truly touched by Jesus and their eyes turn from dark to light. I have seen some healed and others cry as their hearts are touched by the love of God. And I have witnessed children touched by the Joy of the Lord. The Holy Spirit has showed me that I can trust him and rely on him for boldness and wisdom.

Soul winning started out as a program for us at school but has become of way of life for me. It has helped me to learn to rely greater on the holy spirit and learn to be more sensitive to his leading, not only when I am out soul winning with the church but also when I am at work and on a daily basis. I am thankful to this ministry for pushing us to be obedient to the Word of God and Go share the gospel to the lost. It is an honor to be a witness for Christ. And this ministry has helped me break free from the fear of man and be able to share the word of God. “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16)
