How to Win A Billion Souls: Multiplication - by Lillian Kwon
"More and more churches are preaching less of the gospel," said Dr. James Merritt, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention. "We must prioritize the message of the gospel" – the gospel being the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Billion Soul Harvest is looking to plant five million churches and save one billion souls in the next ten years. International evangelist Reinhard Bonnke said a billion is "a good start." "Multiplication happens in our hands," he told summit attendants, alluding to the biblical story of the five loaves and two fish, but the miracle is Jesus’.
Since the inception of the Billion Soul Harvest in September 2005, the Global Pastors Network has held seven U.S. Billion Soul Summits, with its most recent one in Dallas on Tuesday. It has also set up international congresses, with its first in Lima, Peru. In November, the Billion Soul initiative will head to Johannesburg, South Africa, for its second congress with the involvement of church leaders from all of Africa - which many say is becoming the epicenter of Christianity. A third congress will soon follow in Fiji with Christian leaders from all 22 island nations.
