    I, Evangelist Collins was saved at the age of seven in Fayetteville, North Carolina, while kneeling between his mother and brother at family prayer. I was called to preach at the age of fifteen and at seventeen began a full-time ministry. I attended Greenville Bible Institute and took special courses at Bob Jones University. I received a Doctor of Divinity degree from Indiana Baptist College. I have twelve years experience as a pastor and fifty-two years experience as an evangelist. I married Helen Sherrill from Statesville, North Carolina, and we have one child Bill Collins. Bill has two children and five grandchildren. One of Dr. Collins’ grandsons, Brian Collins, is a missionary in Singapore. Along with my evangelistic ministry, I am Director of Sermon and Song, Inc, a radio ministry of forty-six years which is heard on more than fifty stations including the Fundamental Broadcasting Network. I have a website: www.sermonandsongministries.org. My main desire in life is to preach the gospel and see others come to know his Savior. My books are simply written and true to the Bible. I am evolved in a mission ministry in Pakistan. 100s are coming to know the Lord. Full information is on my web site. When time permits, I like to hack away at golf. If my preaching is no better than my golf game "Have mercy on the congregation" Please contact me if I can be of spiritual help.

      Drawing The Net

      The last commandment that the Lord Jesus gave before He went back to heaven was for us to go into the entire world and preach the Gospel. As an individual Christian our first duty is to bring glory to the name of God through genuine worship and living the consecrated life. As a member of the local church of which Jesus Christ is the head, it is our responsibility to do everything in our power and ability to spread the glorious message that Jesus Christ came to save sinners.

      It is readily observed by all those who serve in the Lord's kingdom that the greatest failure of our churches today is the lack of every member becoming a witness of the great salvation with which we are saved. Though there have been many books written about soul-winning, and most of them very good, we feel that one more book on being a witness for Christ will do no harm and possibly help someone who has not yet realized his responsibility to present the Word with the proper approach to those who are lost.

      Therefore, we humbly offer these thoughts with much prayer that this little booklet will be used of the Lord and that it will encourage many to become a witness for the Lord.

      First and foremost, we must recognize that the Holy Spirit alone can bring conviction to a sinner. No manner of persuasion, method, or plan can win a soul. A lost person must be convicted and won by the Holy Spirit. It is our responsibility to carry the message of salvation by using the Bible (God’s Word). The Holy Spirit then convinces them of sin, righteousness and judgment to come. If we do not carry the Word to them, they will not hear and therefore not be saved. Only in that sense can we be called soul-winners.

      Preparation Of The Ground

      Jeremiah 4:3: For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

      Hosea 10:12: Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

      Self-preparation

      Many years ago when I was just a lad, I heard a preacher use the subject plow up your fallow ground. I certainly do not remember all the points of the message, but I do remember his main point. The reason that we do not have more fruit from our service to Christ was because the ground of our hearts has become so hardened.

      If you are genuinely interested in reaching others for Christ, then
