How to Gather a Crowd at Church!

A cattle rancher got saved and surrendered to preach. He went to a Bible conference which was all about how to build a crowd.

Asked about it later, he said, "It was strange. In all my years as a cattle rancher, I never had to go to a conference to learn how to get the cows to come to the feeding trough. I always just figured that if you put out good feed, the cows will come."

Preach the Word!
