tract a day

Farmers Market

READ MORE

We went to the farmers market this morning in Coppell. The people are very friendly. Many of the vendors were handing out samples which makes for an easy transition to say, “since you gave me something, I must give you something too.” Then I handed them a gospel tract. Some just said thanks and took the tract. Others would look at it right then. I was handing out both Christmas trivia and the which list are you on tract.

One woman at the seafood stand went through the trivia questions and then announced that she would be on the nice list. Then as she read the next sentences about God’s Law she realized she was not nearly as “nice” as she thought she was.  She allowed me to share the entire Law and Gospel with her. She kept the tract and said thanks for the conversation.

May I encourage you to shatters the gospel as you go!

October 31 – Halloween

READ MORE

Being out of town for at least the third year in a row meant we could not hand out tracts to the neighborhood children when they came to trick or treat. Instead, I saved my last Halloween “Great Pumpkin” tract and gave it to one of the workers at Dave and Busters while we were there.

This concludes handing out the Bezeugen Tract Club tracts every day (but one since there are 31 days and only 30 tracts) in the month of October. I hope these ideas have been helpful and encouraging to you to go and share the Gospel “as you go”.

October 30 – Riverwalk

October 20 – 24

Sometimes I fall behind in my blogging of handing out a tract each day “as I go”. Rather than try to post each individual post, I thought I’d hit a summary. I have handed out at least one tract every day.

Wednesday (20th) – met Todd for lunch at the mall. Gave out tracts to a number of people at the mall. Baseball trivia tracts are especially popular. But also gave out a couple of the Reject Jesus tracts that were in the tract club mailing.

Thursday (21st) – we went downtown Dallas at lunch. Handed out about 250 baseball trivia tracts. Also gave out a few of the Reject Jesus tracts from the tract club mailing.

Friday (22nd) – gave a tract to the cashier at lunch

Saturday (23rd) – gave a tract to the cashier at the grocery store. Also put tracts in the beer and soda at the store. Gave out Baseball Trivia tracts to people in the store and outside the store.

Sunday (24th) – gave a tract to the cashier when I met a friend for a shake.

How are you doing with handing out a tract or sharing the Gospel with someone each day? Please post comments with your experiences!

October 19 – without leaving home

READ MORE

UPS delivery came after dinner. We get a lot of UPS deliveries for the ministry. But, I did not recognize this guy. And when I asked how his day was, he started quoting scripture about how great the Lord is! WOW!

I gave him a tract. And then showed him the four boxes of 5k tracts each that were delivered yesterday. Then I gave him a few more tracts as samples of what we were receiving in shipments. He said, “I’ll be sure to hand these out!”

October 18 – West End

READ MORE

If you follow our weekly newsletter the Bezeugen Blast, you know that the DART station at the Dallas West End is one of my favorite fishing holes. On Monday we met there for lunch. Handed out a number of tracts including a Reject Jesus tract from the tract club mailing.

October 16 – pizza

Went for pizza for lunch. Left a Halloween Great Pumpkin tract with the tip!

October 14 – a changed life

READ MORE

I handed an NFL Football Trivia tract to a guy and asked if he liked football. He said yes. We proceeded to go through the trivia questions. He missed them all. But he said, he was second guessing himself. Once we got to question five I revealed to him that the there is a Gospel message on the back. At that he started tell me how he was just saved two months ago, baptize one month ago and how his life had been completely changed because of Jesus Christ. What a wonderful time of fellowship to talk with a new believer! I gave him my number and told him he could call anytime.

October 13 – the devil’s holiday

READ MORE

At lunch, I asked the cashier if she liked Halloween and I handed her a great pumpkin tract. She said, “no, that is the devil’s holiday.” We had a short chat about how the card is actually a Gospel tract. She is a born again believer and we had a nice time of fellowship talking about the Lord Jesus for a few minutes.
