I want to post our adventures in soul winning or winning souls to Jesus Christ not to boast about what we do but to encourage others to get out there and do the same.
I am not a novice but I am also not a seasoned veteran with 30 years experience in soul winning.
You only need another person as a partner, the true Gospel of Jesus Christ in hand, the Holy Spirit, and maybe a handout to hand the person as you introduce yourself.
For any saved Christian out there, please join us in these efforts to get another father, mother, son, or daughter of someone else saved. These people might be the ones to get your father, mother, son, and daughter saved in the future.
It’s time for all the saved Christians to get out and do what God told us to do. He said to go out there and win souls to Him. He gave us this job. Now is the time to stand up and do this job. Now is not the time to back down. Now is not the time to go do other things. It’s time to go out and get this done.
Who Was My Partner For the Day?
My wife, Pam, was my soul winning partner for the day. I was the speaker and she was the silent partner.
I love my wife with all my heart, soul, and mind and going soul winning with her is one of my favorite things to do. I am not flattering her for any reason. I am telling you the truth about her. She doesn’t even know I’m writing this right now because she is upstairs cooking dinner for us. She is a great worker, and this trait of hers is one reason I was attracted to her when I first saw her over 26 years ago. She is 100% the woman for me.
She loves and cares about other people greatly. Her emotions will come out at times because she cares. She doesn’t let them out all the time because she says she doesn’t want to appear to be at a Pentecostal worship service (that was a joke – come on and laugh with us). We are not fans of the Pentecostal religion at all. It is devilish as the Bible teaches.
But she cares and loves other people deeply. Thank God that He brought Pam to me in this life. When I have her with me as a silent partner, good things happen. She prays within herself as I give the Gospel to these people.
If you want to be a silent partner, you can do amazing things as well. The prayer will do so many things. We pray that the Holy Spirit is there convincing that person of the truth as we speak the word of God.
Let me say this. Don’t ever go soul winning if you don’t want to go. If you don’t want to win souls to Christ, you can bring the other people down who are there doing their best. The flesh will talk you into not wanting to do this. I am not talking about that. You need to have the desire to win souls because you love them and care for them.
Pray hard before you go. Pray hard that morning that the soul winning will be fruitful. Pray hard the next hour. And the next hour. And the next hour. You’re praying for something that is according to God’s will so He will answer. He will be there with you.
What Did We Use To Go Soul Winning?
Sometimes I like to try different things, different Scriptures, and different approaches. I am trying something new as we start these new adventures in soul winning. We have many stories to tell from past efforts in soul winning, but we’re starting fresh here today.
What did I do today? I used the below handout that I printed, folded in half, and laminated. I do not give this one away. This is mine that I keep and use during the Gospel presentation.
The Bible verses used here are used by many great soul winners. They are tried and tested. These work great for winning souls to Jesus Christ.
If you would like to use this same handout for your Gospel presentation, you can find the source file here:

I also had a low cost handout that I used today. It’s about the size of a postcard. I would hand them this paper after I introduced Pam and I:

Print out the above on front and back and then cut into 4. You don’t need expensive handouts to give someone the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The handouts have a link to the clear Gospel presentation on this website: “How To Make It To Heaven.” You can use these handouts if you want or direct them to any other clear Gospel presentation. If the Gospel is presented clearly, any link to that video will work.
We also take new and in the box King James Bibles with us usually. We left our new Bibles at church so we found 3 here at home that were pretty much new. We need to remember to bring all of the new Bibles with us. We give out Bibles to people who are interested in them after we give them the Gospel.
A Cold Day in November but a Sunny and Beautiful Day
We went soul winning today at an apartment complex in Shelbyville, Kentucky. I will not mention names or locations because I want this to be private for the people we talked with. Some of them might end up reading this.
The temperature was around freezing, but we dress in the right clothing and shoes. Sometimes I am in a suit and tie, but I decided to try something different today. I do not want to look like a Johavah’s Witness or Mormon at all. Many people have thought me to be so based on my clothing. So, I am trying something different.
I wore jeans, and a t-shirt over a long underwear, long sleeved shirt. I wore thick socks and half boots. I wore a big jacket. I didn’t wear my toboggan hat today because it was not that cold. Pam wore a long jean skirt, a pretty mustard colored sweater, some boots, and a big jacket. She wore her pink toboggan hat.
We never got cold. Some of the people we talked to at the door were cold, though, because they weren’t dressed like us inside their home. Soul winning in the cold, at times, can be difficult. But don’t ever let this stop you.
Winning a soul is worth being cold for both parties, us and them.
The Results of Soul Winning for 11/20/22
Here’s where we’ll give a summary of the results.
Duration: 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
We only went to 9 apartments today. We didn’t even finish one building. My strategy for soul winning is a little different than others. I look for quality over quantity. I do want to get to as many people as I can. With that said, though, when a person is listening and seeking God, I spend time with them. I don’t move on when a man or woman is seeking God.
I’ve got 3 people who I talked with in detail today that I would like to share with you. I will discuss them here.
The First – A Man – In His 30’s Most Likely
The first man we talked with was not at a door. This man was walking his dog and coming back to his apartment. We headed up to the third floor first and he was coming up right behind us.
I asked him if he lived up here, and he said, “Yes.” So I started the conversation with him at the top of the stairs. I exercise but 3 flights of stairs leave me a little out of breath at times. You have to be careful with this. Catch your breath so you can speak properly. I introduced ourselves and told him we were from True Words Christian Church in Shelbyville (local church).
He was in a hurry so I sped up the Gospel conversation at his request. He listened. He was not sure of how to go to heaven. He was not sure if he would go to heaven when he died.
During the presentation, I asked him if he believed these things. He said, “Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ.” He says that his grandmother took him to church as a child. The seeds are planted so don’t ever think that taking your grandchildren to a good church won’t help to save them in the future.
I explained everlasting life to this man. He told me that he believes these things. I did get through all the Scriptures with him.
We will count this man as a salvation even though the presentation was hurried. We left him with the handout and asked him to please watch the video for more details when he has more time.
I like to think back on each person in detail, remember their responses, and decide if this was a salvation. This one could go either way, but he did profess to believe in Jesus Christ. We are counting this one based on his profession.
The Second – A Woman – In Her Late 20’s Possibly
Wow, this young lady was awesome. She might have been the most receptive person we’ve ever talked with. There have been many others, but it’s so great to talk with people like her.
I believe she has recently been searching for the truth.
She did not know much (her words if I remember correctly) about the Bible, Jesus Christ, religions, but she has been wanting to learn. She listened and answered questions during the presentation. It’s much easier to win a soul to Jesus Christ when they haven’t been taught lies in church throughout their life.
I asked her if she now believes in Jesus Christ, and she has not yet believed in Jesus Christ. She says that she can’t yet, but she wants to believe in Him.
She asked us where she should start. I told her that being saved is the place to start. She can be saved in a moment. Pam pulled a King James Bible out of the backpack that we carry with us and gave her one. She couldn’t believe we were giving her a Bible and was very thankful.
This lady was so kind, humble, and looking for the truth. I know she will be saved soon. We will check back with her. And we will start doing a better job at following up with people. I think we will take her a gift for Christmas.
I told her to start reading in the Gospel of John because that book was written so she might believe. This is where anyone should begin.
We pray for her right now that she will be saved. If you’re reading this, stop and say a prayer for Jessica in Shelbyville, KY. God will know. Before we left, I asked her if we could pray with her. I told her to just call out from within and ask Jesus Christ to save her. I quoted her Romans 10:13. This is why we need to have Scriptures memorized.
If you love and care for others, get that Bible out and read. And don’t stop. You will remember the Scriptures when the times come.
She allowed us to pray for her outside of her apartment. I hope to God she believed and called upon the name of the Lord. I will not count her as a salvation at this time, but she is very close to being saved. I am counting on the Apostle John’s words and the Holy Spirit to now do their job. And I know they will. If you can count on anyone, it will be the word of God and the Holy Spirit. But, we will check on her again and help her along the way as God has asked us to do.
I told her about baptism and its meaning. I am hoping she will get on the church website, learn more, and visit with us to learn the truth.
The Third – A Man – Probably Late 20’s
This man told me he normally wouldn’t even answer the door. But he answered today. Thank God.
He even invited us out of the cold. This young man is trying. He’s had some issues with his girlfriend who he has a 4 year old son with. This is the man we spent the most time with today. We had another person answer a door, but she wasn’t very interested and was cold.
This man was interested and wanted to listen to the Gospel. He also wanted to tell us about what happened with his girlfriend cheating on him.
She was supposedly a Christian and this is the reason he chose her previously. I did get through all the Scriptures with him. He does not believe in Jesus Christ at this time. He wants to read the Bible and figure these things out for himself. This is a great thing.
His younger brother has also been telling him about Jesus Christ so we were there to help show there are others who believe.
We tried our best to help him but he’s very hurt (recently happened) at what his girlfriend did to him. I gave him advice to read the King James Bible. He said he’s been looking to get one. I said we have one right here for you. He was very happy to have it and was convinced God sent us there to him today.
We spent time talking to him because he was hurt, and we do care for others. He even was late to pickup his mom to get people at the airport because he wanted to talk to us badly.
Please pray for this man. He is hoping to one day find a good woman. I told him how to find one. The Gospel I gave him is the most important thing in finding a good woman. I told him there are millions of women out there but he feels like there are none good out there. He wants to do the right things. He treated this other woman well. He wants to stay with her because of their son, and she doesn’t care.
After Pam and I were leaving in the car, we though of the second woman that we talked with. We did not see if she was married or single. But that woman could be the right one for this man. She could just live one floor away from him. Maybe they’ll both come to church, single, and start talking.
This is why you should always do the right things. Maybe the right woman will walk into the church doors for you. Get to a good church. Do your best for God. And He will help you. I can guarantee you that 100%. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. He has the right woman for you. Now just do what He says, and He will bring her to you.
That’s All I Have To Share Today
1 salvation in 9 apartments. If you’ve been soul winning much, you’ll know this is great! An additional 2 people are very close to being saved. And we pray they will get there.
This was a very good day for us. We didn’t even get a door slammed in our face. I think the reason why is that the people in these apartments are not from this area. They seem to be very humble so far in this apartment complex. People who have lived here a while seem to be hardened. That’s not a good thing for this area.
I know we didn’t get to many people today, but we did what God commands us to do. A man was saved and two are very close to being saved.
Count us down for 1 salvation on 11/20/2022.
Please join us in these efforts to win souls to Jesus Christ. I’m going to go eat that dinner Pam was fixing for me now. You can check out some of the food Pam cooks us here in our Instagram feed below. She feeds us well, and then I try to feed my family with the word of God as much as I can.
