"love for souls"

The paradox is that a genuine "love for souls" which
allows itself to be diverted by fashionable modes into a mere
"winning" of them to this or that mutually exclusive version
of the "Truth," very often descends to a use of people for
more-or-less irrelevant ends (already an evil), and can then
so easily degenerate into a total misuse of people for alleged
evangelical "results" with the consequent loss of all respect
for people and their souls, and the withering of the original
concern and love.
... G. W. Target (b.1924), Evangelism Inc. [1968]

Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and
said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what
shall we do?" And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the
Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children
and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God
calls to himself."
-- Acts 2:37-39 (ESV)
