Jesus said to them, "Come with me, and I will teach you to catch men." At once they left their nets and went with him."

Matthew 4:19

Do you know how to fish? The best way to become an effective "fisher of men" is to simply follow Jesus.

For us that means watching how the Master "fished" and then imitating Him. It involves reading the Scriptures and lingering over His words and deeds, learning how He "caught souls." Them we must cry out, and ask Jesus to make us like Him – great "fishers of men."

If you are not fishing for souls, you are not following the Savior.
