You Can Be a Soul Winner!

Book excerpt: You can be a soul winner. At the turn of the last century, there were only two books on personal evangelism, one by Charles Trumbull and one by R.A. Torrey. Both taught personal evangelism methods to be used in the context of counseling seekers at mass evangelism crusades. The restoration of personal evangelism to the Church in modern times gained momentum in the 1960s and is considered to be a normal part of the life of many Christians. One of the significant books that God has used to restore personal evangelism in the Church is You Can Be a Soul Winner! Heres How by Nate Krupp. It was used as a text book in his Lay Evangelism Crusades where thousands in the United States and Canada were trained to be soul winners. Mr. Krupp was born in Fostoria, Ohio, in 1935. He was a senior engineering student and Student Body President at Purdue University when two Messianic Jews led him to Jesus Christ in a hamburger shop on March 17, 1957. Following their example, he was soon leading others to Jesus. Nate Krupp has been associated with the Navigators, Campus Crusade for Christ, Lay Evangelism, Inc., Christian Holiness Association, National Association of Evangelicals, and Youth With A Mission. You can be a Soul Winner! Heres How has gone through several revisions. It has been used by many groups on every continent. Over 60,000 copies of the English edition have been distributed throughout the world, and it has been translated into several other languages. Only eternity will reveal how many have been led to Christ by those who have been motivated and trained for personal evangelism by this book.
