how to fish for people!

that they might run the fish off for everyone
else. Jesus will guide us and help us as we go
fishing for Him. Jesus said Come, follow me,
and I will make you fishers of men. (Matthew
419)
12
Catching Fish with Jesus Learning the Basics No
one ever drifts into a lifestyle of fishing. - We
have to decide that fishing with Jesus and making
disciples is something that we want to do and
something that we are going to do!
13
There are more fish being born everyday than
there are being caught. - Jesus said the fields
are white unto harvest.
14
The primary reason that people are not catching
fish is that they are not fishing. - Less than 5
of Christians ever lead one person to Jesus.
15
We need to learn how to fish. Jesus wants to
help us to learn how to become great fishermen
and fisherwomen! He wants to help us to become
very effective in reaching lost people!
16
A good fisherman uses the right equipment and he
or she learns to use the right bait. You use
different bait for different fish. We need to be
willing to build bridges of friendship with
others and meet them where they are.
17
Fishermen take every opportunity they can to go
fishing. We need to take every opportunity to go
fishing for people for Jesus.
18
A fisherman never draws attention to himself. He
wants to draw attention to the bait. In our
fishing for people, the love of Jesus Christ is
the thing that is winsome to people.
19
A good fisherman usually learns from others. The
importance of being in community with other
Christ-followers cannot be overlooked if we want
to be effective.
20
Just reading about or talking about fishing
doesnt catch any fish. We dont just study the
How to Fish Manual. We need to commit
ourselves to DOING it.
21
Its our job to catch fish. Its Jesus job to
clean the fish!
22
I believe Jesus wants to lead us to many, many
people who will choose to follow Him with us!
