Win a Soul for Christ Foundation

Some people suggest that a church soulwinning program is an “extra” as long as people are ready to witness to their friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I believe both are necessary if we believe in taking the Great Commission literally. Because reaching a community with the gospel is such a clear purpose for the local church, I believe it should be approached with both passion and organization. Pas

sion without organization will result in half-completed efforts. So what is the purpose for establishing an organized soulwinning program in a local church? I see three biblical purposes:
To win the lost
In every community, there are people who need the gospel. There are men, women, boys, and girls who would respond to the Word of God if a Spirit-filled soulwinner would present God’s gracious offer of salvation to them. To saturate the community with the gospel
The church at Thessalonica so effectively witnessed for Christ that they not only saturated their own community with the gospel, but they witnessed to those who merely passed through their community on the famous Egnatian Way, thus sending the gospel into regions far beyond Thessalonica. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.—1 Thessalonians 1:8
We are commanded to take the gospel into all the world. This includes our own communities as well as every other nation on the globe. Fully accomplishing this task is only possible through a biblical missions strategy. (To take the gospel to Africa, we need to support missionaries who will go to Africa.) But accomplishing this task in our
own community requires a biblical saturation strategy that enables your church to saturate your community thoroughly with the gospel of Christ. This should be done so purposefully and systematically that the gospel is taken to every home and made available through every venue you can use. This requires the organization of an entire church family. To train Christians in witnessing for Christ
An effective church soulwinning program not only provides opportunities for members to go soulwinning, but it is structured to reproduce new soulwinners. Soulwinning is not the job of the pastor or the church staff; it is the job of every Christian. Philippians 1:27 instructs local churches to
strive together “for the faith of the gospel.” This
