There is someone everyday. It is doing no good. I must witness by the power of God, whether it's at home or out. Always eyes is on Jesus. When He says speak, I speak. I want to add something: All God needs is a few good people. And He tells me, "not many are equipped". I do not understand what the problem is, Perhaps, most cannot stand the heat. [ this I do understand] God does not need armies. However, Satan has armies. The people who God intends to use had better learn how to FIGHT. Some are trying to witness without the power of God. Go home....I wish, because most of them are probably lost, anyways....God, in these last days are looking for Paul and Nehemiah's types. |

Mima: The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3 "6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow."
You obviously are wrong, because Paul is speaking about evangelism in this chapter, and he is referring to it as planting and harvesting. |

The Bible says, John 4:35"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest."
Notice it does not say the fields are white unto planting but unto harvest. Think about it!!!! |

John: I have nothing against sharing a testimony about leading someone to the Lord, and how God is glorified in a specific witnessing episode. I believe keeping score and comparing numbers is dishonoring to God. What you probably see in my previous response is indignation at the thought that people keep count of the number of people to whom they witness. Numbers like that are for baseball and football scores, not witnessing. |

I don't keep count, I just plant seeds. |

This question does not honor God at all. God is not a scorekeeper. Witnessing is one of many things I do to obey God, and I do not believe I am to brag about it. The number of people I witness to is nobody's business but God's. To talk about it shows a total lack of humility, and that kind of pride is a sin.

I agree.
Didn't David get in trouble for counting Israel's population or his army's population? |

Trish. There is nothing wrong with the question. Your testimony of how you talked to other people about the Lord is something to share so we can all be exhorted and learn. There is probably more pride in your answer than in the question. |

I haven't kept count but I'm guessing it would be about 15. |

I donot keep count, that's Gods job. I have witnessed online & offline & if & when these people make a desicion it is God whom should have the glory. I feel taking tallies to see whom is truly saved or witnessed to is not the answer, the true answer is when they accept the free gift of the gospel & tell God this. I just help plant the seed. |

Mima, I tell everyone they need Dr. Phil, so maybe I'll switch and tell everyone they need Dr. Jesus.
Actually, my life is a witness. People at work wonder where the Joy comes from. They ask, I tell.
I let people ask me questions...so far I've witnessed to about 30 people here and six have come to know the Lord. I disciple them now and teach them the word. |

Praise God, you have certainly brought forth intrest for that which the lord has given you.
Many take that which has been given and bury it.
You truly are a Good and Faithful child of our Father...
as far as this "?", a couple. |

The street evangelist that we sponsor in Chihuahua, Mexico called me on the 14th. And he keeps detailed records, and as of the 14th he had prayed with and heard 360 people pray for their salvation.
I guesstimate, keeping my guess low to be certain I'm not overstating the number. I would say I have prayed with at least 60 people so for this month. |
