Day 30: Are You a Good Person

READ MORE

The last day of the month! I did it. A tract a day from the June mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club shared on this BLOG. I hope you have been encouraged. Would you like to do it yourself? Enroll in the Bezeugen Tract Club to get your 30 FREE Gospel tracts a month.

Now, you are probably saying to yourself, “wait a minute, Carl, you have not actually said anything about the 30th tract yet.” Ok. So I had a scheduled appointment with a contractor to come to my home. So I had to adjust my schedule to leave work and be home in time for him to come. This meant arriving at work early (no time to stop to share the Gospel) and working through a quick lunch at the office (no time to share the Gospel). So when I arrived home, I still had not yet handed out any tracts nor shared the Gospel with anyone much less, given out one of the tracts from the June mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club.

Plus…. I was intentionally saving the last one. To give to the contractor who was scheduled to come to my door.

I heard a knock on the door. Assuming it was him. But it wasn’t. It was a teenager asking if he could mow my lawn. I do that work myself, so I thanked him for coming and gave him one of our newly designed Thank You tracts. But I kept the last tract of the June mailing to give to the contractor.

He was coming.

Or was he.

Eventually it got late, I called the company. There had been some mistake in scheduling. He was not coming. They were going to have to reschedule.

Another knock on the door. I opened the door to see the UPS driver getting back into his truck. I called to him, “I have a gift for you…” he turned around and I handed him the last tract from the June mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club – the last Are You a Good Person tract!

Join me next month as I try again, this time trying to complete as many of the #DailyTractChallenge posts as possible.

Oh, the month of June did not end there. My wife and I had to go to the store. I asked the cashier if I

could pay with “MyCard”. It’s a fun new tract that is coming to a future mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club. It works well at places you have to show your ID, make payment, or just introduce yourself. “Did you get My Card?” At the train station on Monday I was then explaining to people that “I am with the Department of Eternal Security and just wanted to see if they are good enough to go to Heaven?” That leads right into the Gospel. Would you like “MyCard” to hand out? Then join the Bezeugen Tract Club and they will be delivered to you in a future monthly mailing.

Day 26: Introduction to the bookmark

READ MORE

Our church had an end of VBS concert and picnic. I was greeting the kids and parents at the gate, saying hi to everyone, giving them wrist bands and pointing them in the direction of the food and the concert. It was so much fun to remind the kids that “Jesus is your Rock!”

During the concert suddenly the rain clouds rolled in and the everyone had to go inside rather suddenly. I was able to wonder around the fellowship hall and have some good conversations with a number of the people.

With one woman I offered her a New Testament and a Bible bookmark. She told me that she had a Bible at home. I said she could always give it to someone else. She said, “oh, I know someone who could use this.” So I showed her how to use the bookmark to share the Gospel with her friend. She was so excited to hear about it. She was very encouraged.

As we talked more she told me about how she and her friends were talking about going door to door to share the Gospel. I told her that that is one of the things we do in our ministry. So, looks like we have some new people to join us in reaching our city for Christ! Praise the Lord!

Day 24: Bible bookmark and New Testament

Went to lunch at Chick-fil-A. Gave a tract to the cashier. When refilling my drink, I offered a New Testnment and the bookmark in the June mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club to one of the employees. He told me, “I don’t understand English” and walked off. Unfortunately I did not have a Spanish tract on me.

While walking to my car, I came up to someone getting out of their car. I asked if they had a Bible. They said no. So I gave them the New Testament with the bookmark,
