How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

Burden for Souls

“If you are in communion with Christ, you will place His estimate upon every human being. You will feel for others the same deep love that Christ has felt for you. Then you will be able to win, not drive, to attract, not repulse, those for whom He died. None would ever have been brought back to God if Christ had not made a personal effort for them; and it is by this personal work that we can rescue souls. When you see those who are going down to death, you will not rest in quiet indifference and ease. The greater their sin and the deeper their misery, the more earnest and tender will be your efforts for their recovery. You will discern the need of those who are suffering, who have been sinning against God, and who are oppressed with a burden of guilt. Your heart will go out in sympathy for them, and you will reach out to them a helping hand. In the arms of your faith and love you will bring them to Christ. You will watch over and encourage them, and your sympathy and confidence will make it hard for them to fall from their steadfastness.” Christ Object Lessons pg. 197

Family / Friends / Co-worker

I have been participating in a program about how to share the Word of God with others. We have all be challenged to practice with someone. Would you consider being my guinea pig?

Media Interest

“Hello ___ (their name). My name is ______ (your name), I am with _________ (ministry name), and I have been praying for you. You have requested materials from this ministry in the past and we have decided to pray for all our people individually, and so I am calling to see how I can pray for you in a more specific way.”

Bible Study Offer Interest

Hi, you must be ____ (their name). My name is _____ (your name). I am with ______ (name of interest generator). I see that you responded to an ad that we put on ______ (Facebook, mail, etc.). I’m here to deliver your first bible study (give them the bible study lesson).

I’d like to offer you a few options. Many people choose to have someone study with you. I like this option because it gives encouragement and accountability. For others, I just drop of the lesson each week. Which options would work better for you?

If they agree to study the lesson with you….

Here are some times that I have free this week. Which time would work best for you?
