The Master Plan of Evangelism, Part 6 (The Soul-Winning Motivator #141)

Our soul-winning Passage from the Word of God today is Acts 13:47 which reads: "For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth."

Our soul winning quote today is from Jerram Barrs. He said: "Our attitudes of heart are always being judged by non-Christians. Unbelievers are drawing conclusions about Christ and about the truth of Christianity from everything we say and do."

Our soul winning devotional is part 6 of our series titled "The Master Plan of Evangelism" from Robert E. Coleman's book, "The Master Plan of Evangelism."
