Ok there are 2 schools of thought.
From the way I see it.
1st School of Thought
We bring a friend to church by showing lots of care and concern. Focus on the friend and love him or her with all we've got. Lots of sacrifices.
The objective is to build a long lasting relationship. In the process, very tough and heart wrenching and lots of work.
And there is no guarantees that the friend will be planted in the house of God.
2nd School of Thought
We share the gospel with as many people as possible. In a way, it means taking as many shots as possible.
We hone our ability and anointing to share the gospel such that our sharing is effective. It leads the people to seek Jesus and pray the sinner's prayer.
The time taken is short and how far the process goes depends on how receptive the person is. This mostly ensures we reach the most receptive people first.
Its been shown the 2nd method works far better.
Basically a combination of both.
Some thoughts.
Do comment and give some opinions.
Especially those who haven been there done that and brought in souls for Jesus before.

Method 1 is Jesus' method in the gospels. Touch lives, through which some may receive salvation.
Method 2 is primarily going for numbers. Assuming one is the most anointed speaker, people who hear the Word will receive salvation.
Method 2 is more effective, but only in the sense of numbers.
