I thought it was okay to speak what you know in this forum as long as you can prove it, esp if you're going to name names.

I missed your crucifiction? j/k

It was brief but bloody and I lost. Names are ok as long as it's not certain names. Certain people are off limits. That's ok, it doesn't change the truth of what I know and saw and experienced personally. I'm not bitter...I'm better. sniff. I good looking, smart...and darn it, people like me!

Puhleaze...Surely you aren't saying that all we have to do is just preach more? Or hear more preaching?

Here's an opinion.

You have to do more that "hear" the Word. You have to be a doer of the Word.

Check out Matthew 7: 24-26

This scripture would indicate that maybe we have people leave the church because they aren't building on the rock.

Are people getting frustrated and quitting because they can't understand why they aren't growing spiritually and they are listening to tons of preaching?

To build on the rock requires more than just "hearing" preaching. It requires doing what the Word says.

In short, it takes more than hearing preaching. We have to become doers of the Word.

Evangelism is WORK

[Apocrypha]

Its that time, if anyone wants to join the fun call my cell at 281-235-6630

Here is this weeks schedule and you can get our church address/info from www.HarvestInBaytown.org

This guy is amazing, myself and several of our saints helped out at the Church in a Day project in Port Arthur (the McCoys) on the outreach team and we baptized 5 right off the streets with Tim.


Wednesday Night 7pm:
The First night of revival will be preached on the importance of reaching our world! We will go to the streets right after service is over with whoever can go!

Thursday:
Outreach 1:00pm – 4:00pm & 8:00pm – 12:00am

Friday Afternoon:
Outreach 1:00pm – 4:00pm

FridayNight Service:
This is the seminar service, I teach different ways of personal evangelism and the important things needed to be a soul winner. This service is for the most part teaching only. We will show 3 short video clips approx 4 minutes long. We have material that we hand out for future reference. If your church does not use video please let us know. We will need a projection system to show the videos.

Saturday Morning Tag In 10:00am:
This is basically a question and answer service and then we break up into teams of outreach. Once we have our teams ready we go into the streets hanging door hangers and passing out flyers. This is usually a great motivator, people are excited about what they have done and the easy way to reach the lost. Testimonies are welcomed to build enthusiasm.
We take a break from 6:00pm – 8:00pm At the tag in at 8:00pm we get ready and go back into the streets, I go with a different team to help show them affective ways to reach souls. At the end of the day most people are tired, we usually have some that are all fired up, so I take a team of the more excited saints back out into the streets until usually around 2:00 am. We generally find some really hungry souls on this evening mission.

Sunday Service: - 2:00 pm
This is the service where all of our work pays off! The Bible says there is profit in all labor! The Pastor preaches a message that would make the righteous repent! We believe it is important for the message to be preached by the Pastor so the new people will know who the Pastor is. Some times Evangelist come in and preach a message and the next week the new comers will expect the same person to be there.
We see many people who have come to the service fill the altars. The saints help work the altars and see what God has done! I will give the altar call after the message is preached. Please allow time to see what the Lord will do.
As people arrive we have saints set up at all doors to help guest fill out an information card. This card is used in the drawing for the giving away of prizes. We then use the guest card for follow up on all the guest that have come to the service.
After the altar call, I take all the cards from our guest and begin drawing for winners! We also take time during the drawings to assure guest that this is an awesome church and they will want to return soon!

I will probably be crucified for this, but this statement "Learn how to win souls" has always irked me a little. YOU have a brain in your head and a mouth. That's all you need. You don't need to be "taught" how to win souls. Anyone with common sense and a brain can win souls. Open your mouth and begin to tell what God has done for you and people that you know and you'll catch someone's attention.

It's not really what we do that counts anyway. We only plant the seed, GOD GIVES THE INCREASE.....HE WATERS the seed.


Go ahead, kill me. I'm ready and waiting.

Sorry to disagree with you Sis. Most of the time I do agree with you, however, on this I do not. I have found not everyone has common sense. Don't even know why it is called common anymore, seems to be a lost art, so to speak.

All can open their mouths and sing, but the sound may not be too pleasant. Same in witnessing, all can open their mouths, but many lack wisdom.

Many lack confidence, and need to be taught what has worked and what has not. Allowing of course, that what works for one does not guarantee that it will work for all.

I also believe some plant, some water, according to their gifts. Many receive a harvest they didn't plant. But as long as all the glory goes to God who cares?

This sounds like a tune that was played here many months ago. The "song" didn't go well and I remember no one "dancing" to it. Don't be surprised if the same thing happens again.

That's precisely why I said, "Anyone with common sense and a brain." Not everyone has common sense, I know that, but most of the time if you are sincere in telling what good things God has done for you, you will catch someone's attention.

What works for one may not work for someone else, is true. So is the fact that the area in which you live is a "contender" You HAVE to trust the Lord to help you in witnessing and and working in outreach.

Just like you can't be taught to sing if you can't, you can't be taught to "win souls." Your talent or your giftings lie elsewhere.

Not trying to be mean or argue, just a little quirk of mine.
