ROY IS A young news boy fifteen years of age. He knows the Lord as his personal Saviour. He wants others to know his Saviour too and though he cannot stand on a platform and preach, he has found a way to tell people the wonderful love of God and the gift of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Every morning Roy delivers newspapers to homes along his route. Inside of each paper he places a gospel tract telling the story of redeeming love. Roy believes he is carrying out the words of his Saviour, "Ye shall be witnesses unto Me" (Acts 1:88But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8)). Roy will not know until "that day" how many have found the Saviour through this service of his; but he will certainly have his reward.
Roy has a desire to be an evangelist some day and he is seeking to serve his Master in the meanwhile. He appreciates the value of a soul in the sight of God. When we have a love for souls the Lord can use us in seeking to win others to Him. Like Mary in the gospels, Roy is doing what he can.
Do you, like Roy, know the Lord Jesus as your Saviour? I hope you do, for there is no friend like Him. Remember, you too can be a soul winner. You can speak a word for Jesus at home, at school, or wherever you are. There are many boys and girls who do not know the gospel story. They never go to Sunday school, nor do they get gospel papers. Their parents do not take any interest in their spiritual wellbeing. Here's where you can help in your own simple way. You can pass on to them the gospel magazines you read. You can try to get them to come to Sunday school. You can speak to them of Jesus and His love.
