Hello everybody I'm back with another video about how to go souling and in
this video I want to talk about how to maximize the harvest or in other words
how to get more people saved when you go souling. Right? Jesus said, Herein is my
Father glorified that you bring forth much fruit so shall you be my disciples.
Right? So Jesus doesn't want us to just bring forth some fruit he wants us to
bring forth much fruit. Right? He says that's what glorifies the Father. So I
want to talk about some tips about how to get more people saved when you go
souling. Now it's pretty simple to understand that if you preach to more
people you're gonna get more people saved. Right? If all you're doing is just
walking door-to-door and putting cards on doors you're not gonna get that many
people saved. Right? You want to be able to preach to as many people as possible.
Right? Because how shall they believe in him who they not hurt. Right? So that the
trick to getting more people saved is first of all you have to make sure that
you're preaching to more people. So I briefly mentioned one of these things in
the end of the last video and that's when you get somebody saved. Right? You go
to their door, you preach to them, they believe, they call in the name of the
Lord. Try to share it with their family as well. Right? So if you go to a house, an
apartment, and they they got saved ask, Hey is there anybody else here that I
could share that with? Right? A friend, a family member, you know, wife, husband,
brother, sister, kids, parents, whoever. Anybody else in the house can I preach
to them? A roommate maybe. Right? And sometimes you can get two, three, four
people saved in the same household if you do that. I watched it happen before.
Where you go to somebody, they're receptive, they're excited, they got saved,
and there's other people there, whether it's, you know, family members or roommates
or whatever, and they want to hear it too. Right? They're much more likely to
receive the gospel if they just saw that their friend is like condoning it or
excited about it. Right? Because like let's say you go to the door and you
get a man saved. Right? And you know he believes it and then his wife is on the
inside and then he calls his wife and he says, Hey honey listen to this. Right?
She's much more likely to listen to it probably if her husband's condoning it,
if he's telling her to do it. You know what I mean? So that's a very good way to get
multiple people saved just in one house. Right? Another thing that could also work
is preaching to groups. Now one-on-one is easiest. Right? It's easiest to just
only just you and one other person because of the fact that you can, you
know, they can pay attention to you more, but sometimes you can get several people
saved at once with just one gospel presentation. Now you're gonna have to
use some discernment when doing this, and I want to talk about this in the next
slide, that there are some some tips that you need to put in practice when
preaching to groups. Right? If you're sharing the gospel with more than one
person. Right? Like two people, three people, four people, then it will be more
difficult to make sure that all of them get saved and sometimes maybe only one
of them will get saved or none of them will get saved. Right? Even if you preach
to like four people at once. Right? Now if there are more than two or three the
chance of distraction and interruption goes up. Right? So you want to limit it to
a certain group of people. So here are some tips to to be effective when you
preach to a group. Right? Number one, focus on one or two main people at a
time. Right? Whoever is paying the most attention and getting it the fastest.
Right? I want to use a few examples in order to to make this point. So when I
was in St. Lucia a few weeks ago, there was a group of like seven kids. They were
like maybe, I don't know, between like 10 and 15. They were like, you know, younger
teenagers, whatever, and they were coming back from school and I stopped them and
there was like two or three of them who were really actually focusing but then
the other ones they were like kind of on and off answering the questions. Some of
them were kind of like wandering around or they were just looking at other
things or weren't paying attention. There's really only just a couple people
who were actually paying attention the whole time. Right? So the group of seven
was there the whole time in the general vicinity but not all of them heard
every single single thing that I said. Some of them are not paying attention. So
that's just going to happen when you preach to a group of seven people.
They're not all gonna get saved. So in that one group only three of them got
saved and then later, thankfully, we saw them again the next day. We got a couple
more of them saved. Also me and this other guy named Daniel, we got a couple
more of the people in that group saved those kids. So that was good that we saw
them again. But the point I'm trying to make is if you're preaching to seven
kids, especially kids, you know, because they get distracted easier,
they're not gonna pay attention. Not all of them are gonna pay attention. Right?
They're going to be distracted. So don't preach to seven people at once and
expect all seven of them to be saved. Right? Another good tip to use when
preaching to groups is to ask different questions to different people. Right? And
learning their names that will be helpful for this. So for example, I put a
picture of me preaching the gospel actually to three teenagers right here.
This was in a town called Eloi in Arizona last about, actually this was
almost exactly one year ago. So these three kids, they were all paying
attention. Right? Obviously they're a little bit older so they're more mature.
They're not like, you know, 10 years old running around that kind of stuff like
in St. Lucia, but they're a little bit older. They're more mature so they were
paying attention. You know, whenever I asked a question, they
were like, yes sir, and all that kind of stuff. You know, they were pretty
receptive. The thing was what I did and what I usually do when I preach like a
group of three is I'll learn their names and then I'll ask them a question and
I'll say their name. Like for example, I'll show a verse and then I'll say, so
according to what I just said, John, what do you have to do to go to heaven? And
then only John answers because I said John. Right? But then I'll give another
example like, so if somebody believes in Jesus but they never go to church, they
never get baptized, Mark, you know, where are you gonna go when you die? Oh, I'm
gonna go to heaven. Right? So it's good to kind of like interact with all three of
them or two of them or however many at the same time to make sure that you're
not just like certain people are not being singled out. Now sometimes you can
only focus on one person. You think that only one person paying attention and the
other person seems like they might not be receptive but then they actually do
get saved. This happens sometimes as well. Right? So one other thing I like to do is
ask the questions individually. Right? If one person is struggling, just simply
preach the gospel to them again after you're done with those who get saved. So
what I mean by that? So like let's say for example you're preaching to three
people. Right? And let's say this guy, you know, just as an example, this guy, you
know, he's not getting it. You're showing it to him. He's not really understanding
it. Then just focus on the other two. Right? They might be understanding it
better. Right? Get them saved first and then after you're done with them, go back
to him and share a few more verses with him at the end to make sure he got it.
Right? Sometimes you preach to a group and you have to preach the gospel a
couple times, you know, to get all that group saved. Sometimes you only have to
preach at once. So you have to use discernment when you're preaching to
like two, three, four people. But understand that it's very rare that
you're gonna preach like three or four people and they're all gonna get saved
at once. Again, that's gonna happen sometimes. That's what happened with
these three gentlemen right here but that's not always gonna happen. Right? So
definitely preaching to groups, asking for family members, things like that.
These are great ways to increase salvation numbers. Right? To get more
people saved. To basically be more effective in the use of your time. But
again, it's not just about the number. It's about actually genuinely getting
people saved. So you want to be careful in the way that you do it and don't just,
you know, preach and then just ask like five kids, you know, all the same
questions at the same time and expect them, you know. For example, sometimes I'll
preach to people and they'll answer the question at the same exact time. So I'm
like, okay, well they're all paying attention. They're all looking at me.
They're all answering the question. They're all playing along so I know that
they're all understanding. They're not just repeating what they heard from
their friend. But sometimes you'll have a group of three, right, and you'll talk to
one person and you say, hey, what does the Bible say you have to do to heaven?
Believe in Jesus. And then the other two, they didn't say anything. And so you turn
to them and you say, what do you have to do to heaven? Believe in Jesus. Well then
maybe they got it but they could just repeating what they just heard from
their friend, you know what I mean? So that's why you want to make sure they're all
paying attention. If one of them isn't paying attention, just focus on one
person at a time and then go to the other guy later, right? So these sort of
things you have to keep in mind when you're preaching to groups. So thank
everybody for watching and goodbye.
