...of your country?
I was born in and live in the USA. Soulwinning here is getting more difficult by the day.
My wife and I were in the Philippines for a couple of months last year and went soulwinning with our sister church there and on our own time.
The ratio is opposite their:
Here it's about 1:20 that accept:reject Christ.
There it's about 10:1 that accept:reject Christ
Not only that, but most of those (~75-80%) come to church, get baptized and have an obvious outward change. We saw one IFB KJV church that was started and had grown so fast after 8 months that they were already supporting 15 missionaries worldwide.
Another IFB KJV church celebrated the ONE YEAR anniversary with a week-long revival service ehere over 1200 were saved, about 700 of which were baptized that week.
No doubt there is a revival (or quickening, really) happening there. There have been over 400 IFB churches started in the last five years there. They are very hungry for the gospel and we were spoiled, when we got back to the States, we didn't realize how spiritually cold it was here.
In all our soulwinning there (2-3 days a week) we didn't have ONE door shut in our face, didn't get chased out, and only had a couple of tracts refused.
1. Do any of y'all who are American have any soulwinning experiences outside the USA?
2. Do any of y'all who are from another country have any experiences soulwinning in the USA?
