Being a part of The River at Tampa Bay Church and the vision that they, now we, have for souls has truly changed my life. Now of the ways my life has been transformed by this ministry has been in the area of soul winning. Prior to becoming a part of this ministry, I knew that soul winning had to be a part of my life as I loved God, I had to tell others about Him and His precious Son, Jesus and all that He gave to bring us, a fallen humanity, back to the heart of God. Though this was in my heart and I had gone out on a few occasions to “be a witness”, it just was not a form of lifestyle to me. It was just something I would do with my youth group one weekend of certain months.

After being enrolled into The River Bible Institute and taking a class on Soul Winning, a new passion for the lost grew inside of me. I began to win souls with the rest of the class and before I knew it, I was winning souls at the gas station, the park, the pharmacy, or just whenever I saw an opportunity. That was nothing like me. I was always very shy when it came to speaking to others about Jesus and His wonderful love for them. Now I have learned that God’s love is not for us to hold it in and only show it when we come to church to gather with other believers.

This love has been poured out for the whole world to know and receive salvation. The gospel is the very power of God so I now know that I can say like Paul said in Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel”.
