Winning Souls Starts With Loving People
Christian evangelism has too often focused on "winning souls" to
the exclusion of meeting real, everyday needs. Yet Jesus' earthly
ministry followed a different pattern: He reached for people on the
margins. He touched people no one else would touch. He spoke hope
to people consumed by despair. And as the Lord extended Himself in
compassion to meet the needs of the sick, the lost, and the
hopeless, people turned their hearts to Him. Love Like Jesus
will help you follow Jesus' pattern for changing lives. You will
learn the importance of placing your confidence in Him alone, of
staying faithful through seasons of unfruitfulness, of facing your
fears with courage, and much more. Most of all, you will catch a
vision of God's unfathomable love for every person, and get the
tools you need to share it with people in need of a Savior.
