My life has changed drastically since I have started soul winning. I started soul winning back in 2002 and it was the scariest thing I had ever done at first. I had been a member of the River at Tampa Bay since December 1996 and wasn’t really involved in soul winning and wasn’t really interested in being involved in soul winning. I loved God and everything but I didn’t understand how soul winning was vitally important to my walk with God.

Since that time I have won hundreds or thousands of people to the Lord and have seen God move miraculously in people’s lives. I do not take any credit for any of the results I have seen on the streets, but it is the Spirit of God that has worked through me, and also me being open to be used by God. I am so grateful for this ministry and the charge that Pastorsand Adonica have given us as a congregation and a challenger for all of us to go to another level in our soul winning. I believe that every believer should be winning souls and if they are not then I really wonder if they are really believers. I am very excited for what God is doing on the streets of Tampa and that I have had the privileged to be a part of changing this city one neighborhood at a time.

My husband and I have been forever changed by the soul winning and will never stop winning souls even if God moves us to another state or country. We will definitely incorporate the soul winning script in our own ministry as well. God has shown me different ways and strategies on how to win different kinds of people to the Lord, and I have seen people through the soul winning script and the compassion of God come to the Lord and their lives change forever.

Being part of the family at the River at Tampa Bay Church has been incredible! I am so glad God called me to be here in such a time as this. God has used me to win many, many souls, and see lives changed of men, women and children. There is only one thing that matters in this life, and that is, obeying the Word of the Lord. He has commissioned us to go into the entire world and preach the Gospel to every creature. We have done it, and have seen the mighty hand of God operating in our behalf. Miracles, and healings are things we see very often, everything the Bible promises is true, you just have to approach it with child like faith.

Another thing that happens is that when you make yourself available, God will use you. You have to remain FAT that is, Faithful, Available, and Teachable. When you truly want to be used of God He will take you, mold you, do a work in you, and you will be an instrument of honor in His hand. Some time ago, I used to be fearful and maybe shy or nervous about sharing the Lord Jesus Christ with others. But when the Holy Spirit touches your life, a boldness to preach the gospel rises inside of you, and you have to, have to tell others about Jesus.

We have been going to some communities to win souls, that in the natural; I would not have gone to. But you get awareness that these people need our Lord, and that Jesus is their only hope, whether they see it or not. We have witnessed to them, even when they were rolling a joint of pot, getting drunk, etc. but the love of the Master impulses us to go. And we will keep on keeping on.

I feel that God is using me greatly and putting the right people in my path supernaturally to witness to. I began soul winning in Washington, DC over summer 2009 as it was introduced to our church from RMI. During the Great Awakening Tour in DC, I was able to get on a microphone at a block party and get 40 persons saved. In Tampa, at a sports game there were about 300 persons there that got saved as I used the microphone. Soul winning has been so real and Luke 4:18-19 has truly come alive on the streets of many cities. It has been great just seeing the impact of what God is doing in people’s lives and seeing the fruit of the work. God gets all the glory and it’s not about us, but about the Lord, as we do His will and stay clean.

I have learned that there are so many people caught up in religion and that think out of their heads and they just need a touch of God, the anointing in their lives, His wonderful presence. When they feel God’s presence as they pray, I can see the power of God transferring into their spirits. While praying over a guy in DC, I remember laying hands on a sick man, with a pain in his stomach, and I felt fire go through the entire left side of my body and I transferred my hands onto his stomach. He could feel the power of God and was instantly healed. Since I began soul winning, God has used me to lead over 700 persons to Christ.

Recently, this past Saturday, while soul winning at USF (University South Florida) campus, there were 3 televisions being given away at the dorms from students moving out. I and 2 other guys with me were blessed with a free television each. God has set it up that there were 3 soul winners and 3 televisions being given away at that very moment. Soul winning, we are laying up treasures in heaven, and also enjoying the blessings here on earth.

Soul winning has been an amazing experience! For years, I have always said that “souls” is the very currency of Heaven. If Jesus came to seek and save the lost and He is our example for living, then we should do what He did: seek the and save the lost! I have always said that the standard for a successful church is the amount of souls that they are saving. I could never figure out how to do it in a manner that would ensure success. It is very simple: bring them quickly to a decision about eternity without condemnation. I remember having spoken to a man about salvation and the person I was partnered with for soul winning led him to Jesus.

Then a Hispanic lady came to the door and I was able to lead her to the Lord in Spanish. As we were finishing, the man had returned and told us of a homeless man whom they had allowed to stay with them for a while. He needed to hear the gospel and we were pulled to the backyard of the home. We spoke with the man briefly and began leading him to Jesus Christ. Upon finishing, we told him of the food ministry and how he could come and get food and have something for himself. He was unsure if he would be on the bus that Sunday.

After service, I was in the foyer of the church that Sunday and a man came up to me and asked where the buses were meeting. I turned and saw the homeless man smiling. He had been in service and was blessed by the anointing of God. He continued to return for several weeks until he moved out of the area.

It is a blessing to see someone to whom you minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ come and find the presence of God in a church home that desires to build the kingdom of God and not just some castle!
