Soul Winners' Club
What It Is
Imagine, over 100 members of your church out in the community every week,
witnessing for Jesus. A lot of Christians, a lot of churches, want to reach
out to their communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ but they aren’t
sure how to effectively accomplish what God has laid on their hearts. It is
said, “inspiration without education leads to frustration.” The only thing
these churches need is someone to show them how to put together an effective
evangelism/outreach program for their Jerusalem.
The Soul Winners’ Club is a 12 week training
course for personal evangelism repeated 4 times annually at your church. It
is a program designed to energize and train the lay people in your church to
make them effective, enthusiastic soul winners. Soul Winners’
Club teaches personal evangelism using:
- On-the-job training (2-by-2 soul winning)
- Bible verse memorization
- Motivational sermons on CD
- Classroom lecture
- Reading assignments (Bible and textbook)
Getting Started
Your
Agora Evangelism Representative will meet with you or your outreach
director one evening a week for 12 weeks. The goal will be 2-fold.
First, the Agora Evangelism Representative will take you through
the course exactly the way you will train your congregation. You will go
through the course work, the lectures, the verse memorization and (most
importantly) the 1-on-1 on-the-job training. You will go out each week to
watch the Agora Evangelism Representative witness in various situations
using the 12-point method. And, when you are ready, you will start to
witness.
Second, the Agora Evangelism Representative will show you how to
set up an effective outreach/visitation program that is centered around
winning your Jerusalem to the Lord and building the body of Christ. This
will include:
- The logistics necessary to maintain an effective outreach program
- Types of visits and how to find them
- Fruitful follow-up techniques
- Getting the new converts to church
- Promoting personal evangelism from the pulpit
Keeping the Ball Rolling
After
you (or your outreach director) complete the 12 week course with the Agora
Evangelism Representative, you will be prepared to grow the Soul Winners’
Club in your church. You will pick one individual to train for the next 12
weeks. You will meet one night a week for classroom training and one night a
week for visitation/soul winning.
At the completion of the course, the 2 of you will pick another 2
church members for training. Again, at the end of the next 12 week session,
the 4 of you will pick another 4 to train. By the end of the first two years
you have the potential to have trained over 100 church members (1-on-1) to
be soul winners.
The core of the Soul Winners’ Club is the individual attention
the trainees receive on visitation. You start with two and double each
session. The progression of training is ideal for any size church—whether
you are a new church plant or a mega-church.
William is Home Now
It was a Thursday and I talked to three gentlemen about the gospel. It
turned out that of the three, one was the grandfather, one was the father
and the other was the son (all three adults). I went through the gospel and
found out that the grandfather and the son knew that they were saved. The
father (William) wasn’t sure. William’s son turned to him and said, “Dad, we
never know how much time we have. You should accept Christ as your Savior.”
William was only 49 years old but he agreed with his son. He bowed his head
and asked Jesus to come into his heart.
That night at home William told his Christian wife what he had done.
She was overjoyed with the news. He told her that it was about time he went
to church. William went to church and told the pastor that he had realized
he was a sinner and needed Jesus in his heart. He told the pastor that he
took care of that on Thursday.
Tuesday, same as everyday, William went to work. The only difference
was, he never came home. On the way home from work William died of a heart
attack. His funeral was on Thursday – one week after he asked Jesus to come
into his heart. William is home with the Lord now.
Your Investment
Initial: The only investment obligation,
up-front, is:
-
One trainee kit, $30
-
Tracts (usually use about 500 the first session) $5/100 tracts
-
Follow-up books (usually give out 20) $1.50/book
-
A dedicated time commitment
End of the First 12 Weeks: After the first 12
week course, if you find this an effective method of evangelism and
evangelism training, you will need to invest in a director’s kit. The
director’s kit retails for around $260. We would also ask for you to
consider taking Agora Evangelism on as a missionary. Our representatives
work at your church for free. We are able to do this because the churches
before you felt the program was so valuable, they wanted to support us as we
ministered to your church.
Long Term Investment: The only long term
investment to the church is in tracts and follow-up material. It is
suggested that the individual church members invest in their own trainee
kits in order to have a feeling of ownership in the course.
