someone just got saved. If you're "feeling down" for whatever reason, at
least smile for their sake and give a good, hearty "AMEN!" Explain that
they were just "born again" (John 3:7-8) and have become a member of
God's family. (Romans 8:15) Tell them to write down the date of their new

"birthday." If they have a real Bible, have them write the date on one of the
front pages. If they don't have a real Bible, give them one. (You can keep a
couple Bibles in a backpack or your car.)

Write down the convert's name and contact information (so you can pray for
them and find them later), and give them yours and your church's (so they
can call if they need help or have questions). If the convert may be a minor,
get their age too (so there's no legal issues if you give them a ride to church

or something).

Leave the convert with a gospel tract and explain that they can use it to
witness to people who don't know how to get to heaven. Or tell them they
can give away the tracts and that there are plenty more free tracts available at
the church house.

QUELLING YOUR PRIDE

When you win a soul (or many souls) to Christ, don't let it go to your head.
God doesn't "need" YOU (John 15:5, 1 Corinthians 3:5-7), and sometimes
He'll work a miracle using an inept soulwinner just to remind you of that!
Remember, other soulwinners are your "fellowlabourers" (Philippians 4:3),
not your "competitors."

2 Corinthians 10:12b "...they measuring themselves by themselves, and
comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."

A competitive mindset has led many unperceptive soulwinners to drag
insincere prayers out of people and assume they're saved. (Matthew 15:8)

DISCIPLESHIP

John 15:8 "Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
shall ye be my disciples."
