For the Christian, no magic wand exists for effective soul winning. We have been given the Person of the Holy Spirit as our helper, along with tools such as using the law, wisdom, prayer etc., to guide us in our efforts to obey the Great Commission. However, all of our feeble efforts must rest upon the foundation of God's nature. Just like the foundation of a building must be strong to allow and sustain its erection, so too must Christ-followers draw the lost to the cross from the bedrock of God's nature of kindness. The kindness of God is not simply a politically correct cliché, but the very key to unlocking the heart of the unbeliever.

Fifty years ago, a young ornithologist named Steve Kress fell in love with puffin. After learning that hunting had eradicated their colonies on small, rocky islands off the coast of Maine, he resolved to bring them back. So began a decades-long quest that involved collecting chicks in Canada, flying them to Maine, raising them in coffee-can nests, transporting them to their new island home, watching over them as they grew, and then waiting—for years—to see if they would come back. This is the story of how the Puffin Project reclaimed a piece of our rich biological heritage, and how it inspired other groups around the world to help other species re-root in their native lands.

Effective soul winning for Christians relies on the guidance of the Holy Spirit and essential tools like prayer, wisdom, and the law, rather than quick fixes. The foundation of these efforts rests on God's nature, particularly His kindness, which serves as a crucial element in attracting the lost to the faith. This kindness is portrayed not as a mere cliché, but as a vital key to reaching the hearts of unbelievers and fulfilling the Great Commission.
