Which versions of the Bible have you used to lead people to Christ?

[glfredrick]

As the title of this thread suggests. List the translations you have used (or seen used) to lead someone to salvation in Christ.

I would run this as a poll, but there are too many translations in too many languages to provide for a poll that doesn't beg the question.

Let's keep this upbeat! We are talking about using God's Word to lead people to Christ. This should be a joyful topic!

So far, I am gathering that not many have lead others to Christ with any version... :tear:

My sister just found a little KJV NT my Dad used when pastoring in Thorton CO (Denver suburb) for five years. Had tally marks for 81 won to Christ by Dad with that little NT.
