A Soulwinner

“Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt,
that you may know how you ought to answer each other.”

Colossians 4:5-6
 

Everyone knows of Heinz, and of his “fifty-seven varieties.” But few know of his zeal as a soulwinner. At a revival meeting one day, the minister turned to him and said, “You are a Christian man; why aren’t you up and at it?” He went home in anger, and went to bed, but he couldn’t sleep. At four in the morning he prayed that God would make him a power in his work, and then went to sleep. At the next meeting of bank presidents, which he attended shortly afterward, he turned to the man next to him about Christ. His friend looked at him in amazement and said, “I’ve wondered many times why you never spoke to me about it if you really believed in Christ.” That man was the first of 267 people Heinz won to Christ after that time.

Thought for that Day:|
Our greatest purpose in life is to share the gospel.
