New Christians often need a lot of
support after accepting the Lord Jesus as their Savior and repenting their
sins. Many converts don’t yet know what it fully means to be a Christian, and
most will want to learn more. For that reason, those who come to an altar call
in church are usually given briefing materials and encouraged to take classes
to pursue their new faith.
Many people asked me what would come
next after the contest was over and the books were published. Some suggested
that perhaps the contest could be repeated from time to time (much like Carol Coles,
Robert Metz, and I encourage people to repeat the 2,000 percent solution
process on the same issue).
I don’t know if that’s the right
approach or not, but it may well be. Recently my mind has been very focused on
concern about what could happen to lots of new believers if they aren’t Discipleship
Resources well by more experienced Christians to learn more about their
faith. I suspect that the numbers of people who have paid a lot of attention to
what to do after Salvation are much larger than the people who have looked for more
effective ways to share their faith about Jesus and Salvation. Is
discipleship an area where there
should be another contest? Or should some other activity be initiated? I’m sure
that what to do next will be much clearer after the books are written about the
winners of the contest to identify and publicize ways to help lead more souls
to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Naturally, if God wants me to do
something else, He’ll let me know. Please realize that the full story of this
contest about helping lost people find and accept Salvation
Testimony won’t be written and understood for several years. Time is
needed for the ripples of this contest to move forward in my life and across
the lives of others to do God’s will. God knows where it’s all going, but I
don’t.
