SoulWinning Seminar - Cancelled.
From **** Home Missions: We had already communicated previously that the SoulWinning Seminar is cancelled due to the speaker having slipped and fallen hard on some ice, requiring surgery. Several calls have come in about this, so we are resending the message. Please help us spread the word. We hope to reschedule this event sometime in the future.
If soul winning was my passion, I would not have cancelled the seminar. Even if the speaker cancelled, the least one could do is hold a prayer session and pray for souls. It made me sick that a decision was made to cancel a soulwinning seminar because the headline act wasn't able to attend.
This decision to cancel the soulwinning seminar shows the lack of vision in the Home Missions department. Truth be known, they have no idea how to produce exponential results without smoke and mirrors and bait and switch.
My sister attends the same church as the scheduled speaker. We talked about his sucess. She says his passion is soulwinning. He burns with a fire so hot it attracts people to him like a moth is drawn to a flame. You can't teach that type of passion in a 2 hour seminar. You have to do it.
What is lacking is passion for souls. Some people are too busy being fake to have a passion for winning the lost. People see that and are turned off by the phoniness.
The by product of passion is what happened to our church. Staff meeting went a little long Sunday morning because God begin to move in a mighty way. We were late starting church. When we opened the doors, people were lined up almost a block to get in. Rough estimation, 70% are brand new people. They feel the fire. They sense the passion. They want what we have.
I would like to think whoever was responsible for cancelling the soulwinning seminar would be man enough to step down. One needs to walk away if all they can do is run a dog and pony show. It may look good for a while, but eventually the mess the dog and pony show leaves has to be disposed of.

I work at times giving different seminars I would just on the spur of the moment try to give someone else´s seminar... it takes time and effort to prepare....

dunno you, dunno what on fire mega church thay you are winning scores of souls at, but I do know a hard self rightoues attitude when I see it.
Maybe you didn't mean to come across so mean, for the sake of those people lined up for a block, I sure hope the attitude and spirit of your church is not reflected in your post.

Reminds me of the time a fairly famous evangelist (many here might know the name, I suppose) that was planning a major outreach at UT Austin. Even after lots of "it's not about me" type comments, he canceled it after coming down with the flu. It was never rescheduled. How many UT students will end up in hell because of that virus?

There are two points of view from which to answer this. 1) The point of view that says that people must hear the Gospel (that famous evangelist's version of it, at least) and respond to it to avoid an eternity of torment, and 2) the point of view that says it's all nonsense anyway. POV 1: lots. POV 2: zero.

I agree; that's harsh. I don't think it shows a lack of love for souls. Is it stopping anyone from being a soul winner to cancel or reschedule a training session?????
