After having the honor and privilege of being a part of five Great Awakening Tours, my whole understanding of what soul winning was changed forever. And after coming to bible school here at River Bible Institute God has continued to change me and transform my life through soul winning. This year alone the Holy Spirit has opened my eyes more and more to see people as He does, and to love and He loves.

He has given me boldness in sharing the Script, whereas before I would tend to hesitate and second guess myself. He has taught me to not look at the outward appearance of a person and let their personae fool you, but to step out in faith and open my mouth and share the Gospel, regardless of the circumstances. I’m starting to truly understand now that the Gospel really is the power of God unto salvation, so all we have to do is share that Gospel, and there the power of God will be to save. We don’t have to do anything or try to force anything to happen. It’s the Holy Spirit and the goodness of God that leads people to repentance.

There was one particular day in soul winning this year that really stuck out in my mind. I went with Jake Peterson in a team of about five people to a local neighborhood not far from the church. I knocked on one door and this girl of about twenty years old answered. I proceeded with the Gospel Script and she accepted Jesus as her savior. She then told me of how she and her mother where going through some hard times and that she was just looking for a place to attend church. I gave her the information about the River church and the bus ministry we had, so that very next Sunday she showed up to the Main Event. I didn’t truly realize the impact that we have as soul winners out there on the streets until that moment. After attending the service that Sunday she answered the alter call, was radically touched by God, and even had her broken arm healed. I am so thankful to be a part of a ministry that is making an impact for all eternity.

There are people outside the four walls of the church that need to see that God is real through the lives of soul winners who dare the step out of their comfort zone with the Word and the Fire of God. Souls are hanging in the balance, and I am so glad for every opportunity to see a life changed for all eternity by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
