'Souls for Jesus'
PASTOR"S PLANNING
INSTRUCTIONS
*Time for Witnessing: Thursday Eve.
7:00-9:00 during daylight saving time/Saturday Morn. 11:00 during standard time
*Preparation for Witnessing during
Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting:
1. Recruit those who will be going
witnessing and pray for them during prayer time by asking for a show of hands
of those who will be able to definitely come out at the appointed time.
2. Recruit the Prayer Team for Thur.
Eve. and divide the 7:00-9:00 time into equal prayer periods. Eight (15) minute
periods is recommended but it will depend on how many volunteers for Thur/Eve
Prayer Team. Give out the names of those you will be witnessing to/visiting on
Thur/Eve so that the Prayer Team can pray for them by name.
3. Be sure to give opportunity to the
Soul-winners who went visiting last week to testify of their experiences from
the previous week. Speak to the previous week's Soul-winners before the service
encouraging them to share their experiences from the past week.
4. Include a measure of accountability
when calling for testimonies from the Soul-winners and encourage those to come
out who could be silent partners. Also husband/wife teams are encouraged to
participate and make an effective Soul-winning team.
5. For effective door to door witnessing
knowing the location/directions to homes and the names of the people at the
homes you are visiting will help the soul-winning team greatly by paying for a
list of new move-ins in your zip code. Computer Assisted Marketing, 45 Old
Country Road South, Newbury, New Hampshire 03255, Ph. 603. 763. 5965,
Email-jimdav@kear.tds.net, is a company that can supply names and addresses of
the new people moving into your specific area. Maps can be printed of the
specific area, street yahoo.com under the SEARCH box click on 'Maps'. Most all
search engines will have a link to provide maps, not just Yahoo. Using the
printed maps will expedite the visiting effort by supplying names, addresses,
and directions in one specific area.
6. Utilize an accurate record keeping
system by using 3x5 cards containing the name, address and any pertinent
information gained from the visit such as the names of the Soul-winners and the
date the visit was made and the results: saved, unsaved, church, responses to
questions etc. This information can be used to determine if a revisit is
necessary by the Pastor/Leader at a later time. Cards and maps must be turned
in to the Pastor/Leader and kept in files for revisits.
7. Additional Soul-winning information
can be gained from the Soul-winning Newsletter messages at our website:
btmi.org/articles.html and look in the list of past Soul-winning newsletters.
8. The recommended sequence for using
the files/info provided:
