What about follow up of new believers?

1. God follows up every new believer, He said so. "He that hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" Phil 1:6. I hardly ever hear this used for new converts, but it is absolutely so. I depend on and saw it very much wen I pastored.

 

2, Who followed up the woman at the well in Jn 4. God did and did He ever do a good work. She brought a whole city to Jesus.

 

3. Who followed up the Ethiopian in Acts *. The Spirit caught Phillip away. God did a great job ob him too. History tells he opened the door to Africa for the gospel.

 

4. My very step is to get them committed to read the Gospel of John. 1 Pet 2:2.

 

5. The next is to try to get them in good Bible teaching soul winning church. I am sorry to say, they are hard to find. I am also sorry to say, I have had a terrible time trying to get pastors and people of churches to visit them and get them into their church. You would hot believe the results I have NOT SEEN IN SUCH SITUATIONS.

 

6. When I was a pastor we saw great results. Our people would visit them befriend them. We had a follow up class for new converts that paid off great dividends. At least 95 % of those we led to Christ got baptized and went on with the Lord some producing 30 fold, some 60 fold and some 100. As I said before more on this later.

 

I tried to share te gospel with a man from Korea today. He just never got it! We never fail when we presnt the gopsel. All will not respond but that is not our responsibility. We just give the gospel.

 

I just ordered 1000 of "Your Ticket to Heaven" today. What a joy to give people a chance to go to heaven. Call 1-877-872-2871 like I have to do and get some tracts.
