Quality vs Quantity

Listening to people is so important

Living in a small town like Whakatane means you can't really reach the multitudes with the gospel, because there aren't multitudes around. This can give us the deceptive impression that we're not as effective as those that are reaching the thousands around the world, but that's not true.

Recently I've been learning to focus more on quality rather than quantity. Evangelism shouldn't be about how many people you've given tracts to, had conversations with, how many times you've open-air preached. God's been teaching me that it's not about numbers, but souls.

So Darren and I seem to give less tracts away each week but have more in-depth conversations with people, getting to know them better, building report, checking their understanding of what we are presenting, listening to people's responses and answering any questions they have.

May God continue to guide us and teach us as we endeavour to seek and save the lost.
