SHARING THE GOSPEL WITH THE PRINTED PAGE

 

Every Christian has a duty to witness to the lost, and using gospel tracts is a simple and effective method of sharing the gospel. Pray for wisdom to select effective and doctrinally sound tracts, pray for opportunities to witness, and keep a few tracts handy to share when those opportunities arise. Be friendly and courteous and remember that the objective is to win minds and hearts, not arguments. Look for opportunities to share your testimony and tell people about your salvation and their need for a personal experience with Jesus Christ. Use discretion when leaving tracts in various places: For example, ask permission from management before displaying tracts at a place of business (Grocery Store, Laundromat, etc.), and do not leave a tract on a restaurant table for a waitress unless you also leave a generous tip, or you will defeat the purpose of using tracts.

Include tracts with letters and greeting cards (birthdays, holidays, etc.).

Send tracts to public officials. Prayerfully consider writing to public officials (especially local and State public officials) about issues of concern and keep these points in mind when you do: A personal letter is more effective than an email, petition, or form letter. Limiting each letter to one subject gives each subject a better chance of getting needed attention.  Make complimentary remarks and do not say anything that might sound threatening or sarcastic. Include a gospel tract with every letter. (For names and mailing addresses of public officials call the public library or visit www.usa.gov/elected-officials )

Prayerfully consider buying gift subscriptions to a conservative Christian magazine for public officials, public libraries, doctor’s offices, teachers, students, etc...
