Pastor:
Occasionally someone will try something new, like run buses, visit the jail, go to a rest home, work with high school kids, or use voice broadcasting. Since we are called by God to win them no matter what the cost, the question is just how long should we keep trying? Do we quit preaching the day no one walks down the aisle? Do we quit running buses the day that the attendance is down? Do we quit soul-winning because there were no results? Do we stop voice broadcasting when the results seem lower than expected? The Bible has the answer in Isaiah:
Isaiah 6:7-13 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. (8) Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. (9) And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. (10) Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. (11) Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, (12) And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. (13) But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
We should never give up. It goes for every type of ministry and the more hooks we have in the water, the more fish we will catch on one of those hooks. My point here is this. When you purchase Church Prospecting you need to believe that this is something that God brought your wan and never give up trying to reach people this way. You will have good days and bad but in the end, as with any other type of outreach, it is God that gives the increase. We are to keep planting the seed in any way we can.
