"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."

—Romans 1:16

“We’re living in a tough day, a confused day. It’s confused by radio, television, newspapers, magazines, books. Everything is confusing. There’s confusion in Washington, D.C. It’s badly confused! But New York City and Chicago, anywhere you go, there is the same thing. People are confused, and they’re searching; they’re seeking; they’re asking. My friend, we must give them what God says from His Word. They must hear the Word of God.” —Dr. Lee Roberson, The Astounding Confusion in Today's Churches

What does it mean to witness?

In Matthew 4:19, Jesus gave some fisherman a rather strange proposition. "Follow me," He said, "and I will make you fishers of men." What could He possibly mean? How can one "catch" men? A simple reading of the book of Acts will give us the answer. Jesus wanted these men to become soulwinners!

It is the call and duty of every born again believer to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with lost sinners.

We read in the book of Romans, chapter 10, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? ... So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

Witnessing is not only for missionaries and pastors. Are you saved? Then witnessing is YOUR responsibility too. The world is dying and going to Hell.

How can you reach them? Read on and learn about the many tools at your disposal in the effort to win souls!

Gospel Tracts

One cannot underestimate the power of gospel tracts in the effort to turn men and women to Jesus. Tracts are inexpensive, concise, and extremely easy to use. If you have a desire to win the lost, but don't know where to start, I strongly suggest that you avail yourself of this valuable resource. Hand tracts to the cashier after making a purchase, leave them in public restrooms, or simply hand them out on a busy street corner in your town.

Note: I have become extremely leery of “free” Gospel tracts; such as those distributed by The Fellowship Tract League, which teach the Lordship Salvation heresy. I highly recommend publishing your own tracts or buying trustworthy tracts from the Sword of the Lord, particularly by the late man of God, Dr. Curtis Hutson...

The Effective Soul-winner

"Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
—Luke 14:23

One-on-one

The most effective means of winning souls to Christ is by sharing the Gospel one-on-one with people. Countless men and women have trusted Jesus as their Savior, because a friend or a stranger simply took the time to explain the Gospel to them.

Before trying to witness to someone verbally, you should have a plan for how you will start the conversation, what verses you will use, etc. Click here to view a basic outline which you can use when witnessing.

Bible Studies

One of the most exciting and fruitful means of evangelism is group Bible studies. Many people will attend a group Bible study if invited. Participants should be encouraged to read portions of Scripture aloud. The Bible says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. (Romans 10:17). We have seen God build faith in many people simply though reading His Word.

Street Preaching

Jesus said, "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." —Luke 14:23

Men - this is a great way to share your faith. Although it may seem unnerving, street preaching is powerful, and can be a very rewarding and confidence building experience. Most of all, it is a very Biblical means of proclaiming the Gospel. I was street preaching in downtown Chicago one night, and a taxi cab driver pulled up, rolled down the window, and I saw tears falling uncontrollably. I had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with him. You never know what God is doing in another person's heart.

Gospel Films

Do you have a TV with a video or DVD player? Consider inviting your friends or neighbors over for a video night. Show them a film which will make a deep impression on their heart and leave them thinking.

Whatever film you choose, make sure it is biblically accurate and presents the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Follow-up with a time for Q&A, and an offer to study the Bible with your viewers.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” —1st Corinthians 15:58

Jesus said, “I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.” —Matthew 25:43

Foreign Missions

Do you have a world vision for souls? Are you interested in helping get the Gospel out to the world? Most missionaries are supported through missionary boards, who make sure they're getting the job done. It's a far better cause for your charitable contributions, than the ridiculous things which many people support. Perhaps you would like to serve in full-time Christian ministry yourself, as a missionary. Hyles-Anderson College is the place to prepare.

Homeless Ministry

Every major American city has a large homeless population. There aren't enough shelters to care for them. Many are returning veterans who find themselves unable to readjust. Some are mentally ill and refuse treatment. Most are everyday, average people who have been overwhelmed by life and lack support to find solid ground. They need food, shelter and most of all—Jesus Christ. Starting a Homeless Ministry

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD...” —Proverb 19:17

"It is the tragedy of this hour that many people seem to think that if they know the mechanics of serving God, that is all that is necessary. May this thought be far removed from your minds. No service is acceptable unto God unless it is rendered upon the wings of prayer. Therefore, may we withdraw ourselves to the secret place and there pray until we have an answer." —Dr. Lee Roberson, Chapter 17,| Some Golden Daybreak

"I'm against sin. I'll kick it as long as I've got a foot, and I'll fight it as long as I've got a fist. I'll butt it as long as I've got a head. I'll bite it as long as I've got a tooth. And when I'm old and fistless and footless and toothless, I'll gum it till I go home to Glory and it goes home to perdition!" —Billy Sunday

"And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." —Luke 16:24

"Reverend, we're glad you're our pastor and we like you fine, but you're different. Why can't you be like everybody else?" I told my people Sunday night, pretty much what I've told you tonight. There's a call from within - something on the inside that says, "I've got to do it." There's a call from without - a lost world crying, "Come over and help us." There's a call from above - heavenly witnesses cheering us on. And there's a call from beneath..."Send Lazarus, have him tell my 5 brothers not to come here." They're more concerned about soul winning in hell tonight than you are in your church. "Send Lazarus. I've got 5 brothers and I don't want them to burn in hell." There's a call from beneath." ―Dr. Jack Hyles, from the Sermon FOUR CALLS TO SOULWINNING
