How many times have you heard a speaker say "We need to win the lost!" rah rah rah or on the more negative end "If you haven't won a soul lately your (fill in the blank)".
I always hated those sermons since they never sat down and explain the methodology of how to share your faith and disciple someone. Its hard to whoop when someone is doing a nuts and bolts training and it doesn't fit into a "camp time" sermon.
We just had Tim Downs who is a UPC evangelist (if you havent heard of him you will soon based on his results) agree to make time on his schedule and come April 9-13th , 2008 to Harvest Temple UPC in Baytown (South East Houston). (which is a whole miracle story since he was booked until late 2008)
This guy is a real hitter, he doesnt just do sermons that cheerlead, he goes out until midnight from Wednesday to Sunday and wins ALOT of people right next to the saints, he does a combo of training sessions and spends hours and hours going out and doing the work. He gets out there and work along side the teams of saints during the 5 days. When it comes to work ethic he is amazing.
If you are a independent or non-UPC and would be interested please don't be scared of asking if you can join us and help out, our ministerial staff has a mix of different brands of apostolic (and its ok!). If you want to come and help and learn with no strings attached contact me and I'll gladly get you the info.
This is a good opportunity to get both session and real life training on how to witness to folks on the street and take them back to get baptized. He literally forces the churches to keep the water warm since he is baptizing folks the entire time he is here.. hes a monster soul winner.
