Soul winning for the majority of the church is a taboo subject and so until I came to the River it was just an idea or something that was not done by the members of the congregation but a responsibility of the Pastor. It was talked about yes and even tried but bringing people to a place of decision that seemed to be more of a myth than a reality.

I came to the Tampa in 2004 and my life changed forever upon attending The River Bible Institute. I learned such subjects as “The Anointing”, “Person of the Holy Spirit”, “Signs & Wonders” and “Soul Winning”. Not only did I take this class called soul winning but I was then required to walk out what I was taught. “And He said to them, Go into the entire world and preach and publish openly the good news the Gospel to every creature of the whole human race. Mark 16:15 (AMP).

I quickly learned that it wasn’t about me, but it was about the power of the word of God and the gospel being preached. Romans 1:16 (AMP) For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God’s power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, It wasn’t about the numbers or how many said yes although that is important but it was about being obedient to the word of God.

Through this obedience and faith in tool God provided in order to get the job done; ‘the script’ many lives have been touched and changed by power of the gospel. Acts 1:8 (AMP) But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.
