Leading Others to the Lord One on One

 Bible Verses 

John 1:41  He first found his own brother Simon and said to
him, We have found the Messiah (which translated means
Christ).  (42)  He led him to Jesus... (43)  The next day He
wanted to go forth into Galilee, and He found Philip. And
Jesus said to him, Follow Me. (45)  Philip found Nathanael
and said to him, We have found Him of whom Moses in the law,
and the prophets, wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, from
Nazareth.

The moment Andrew believed in the Lord, he led his brother
Peter to the Lord. Although Peter later became more gifted
than Andrew, Andrew was the one who led Peter to the Lord.
Philip and Nathanael were friends; Philip first believed in
the Lord and later led his friend to receive the Lord.
Andrew led his brother to the Lord, and Philip sought out
his friend. Both are examples of leading men to the Lord one
on one.

About a hundred years ago, there was a believer named Harvey
Page. Although he did not have any special gift and did not
know how to lead many people to the Lord, the Lord was
gracious to him and opened his eyes to realize that he could
lead at least one person to the Lord. He could not do many
great works, but he could concentrate on one person. He
could only say, "I am saved. You also need to be saved."
Once he laid hold of one, he would not let go. He would pray
and talk to his friend until he was saved. Through this
practice he solidly gained more than one hundred persons for
the Lord by the time he died.
