As You Go, one on one, strategy
Last week, I posted about responses to the “On a scale of 0 to 100, how certain are you that you will go to Heaven?” tract. On that Saturday, I gave one to the woman that said 80. I saw her again on Friday at Walmart when I was on lunch. When I asked her how sure she was now, she said “100”! She said that she had repented the day before! She had prayed that God would give her a job. She was hired at Walmart on Friday! I have been praying for someone to get saved! We may never see results of our labor, but we must keep sowing with tracts! There are a lot of people that aren’t sure if they are going to heaven. Through repentance, faith, and trust in Jesus, they can be 100% sure!

As You Go, strategy, Texting Tract
The texting tract was included in the July mailing. This is a great tract to witness with. Everywhere you go someone has a phone in hand. At several places on Wednesday night, I gave this one to people that were on their phone or had an iPhone. I told a few that this was the world’s smallest iPhone. I explained that it was a Gospel tract. Some were reading the tract as I was walking away.This is a great tract to give to young people. It can be left on cell phone displays. People can read this one to lead them to God’s great text, the Bible!

As You Go, Created to Do
Many Saturday’s I accompany my wife to the Farmer’s Market. We like to get fresh produce, organic meat, etc. And we really enjoy spending the time together. It also gives me the opportunity to share some tracts and witness to people. Yesterday I was paying for a purchase and asked the person “Are you doing today what you were created to do?” She said that it was a good question and that she thought she was. I said, “you know it has nothing to do with your job, it is all about being in a right relationship with God.” I handed her the tract and she said she would read it!

As You Go, strategy, tract distribution
Have you handed out any of the “On a scale of 0 to 100, how certain are you that you will go to Heaven?” tract. What have people said to you? I gave out one to a man that was heading to the Walmart checkout with wine. He said 50%. A women at a store in the mall yesterday said 80%. After reading the front, another woman said “I don’t know!” This is why we give out tracts and share our faith! People aren’t thinking about the afterlife and eternity. They are thinking about the here and now; not the hereafter. They need to be 100% sure about where they are going when the pass from this life! Get a tract in someone’s hand today! We must not fear man, but be concerned for the souls of the lost! If they reject a tract, at least you have reached out to them. I had a Walmart employee reject a tract. He said that he doesn’t have time to think about eternity. I shook his hand and told him that I would pray for him. A woman at a bus stop said that she wished that she knew where she was going when she died, but she didn’t feel like talking about it. I hope and pray she is thinking about it today! 1 John 5:13 says “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
Give out tracts “As You Go” until they know!

As You Go, strategy
Here’s a few ideas using this tract that is in the tract club for July. I found a display of ice chests with the American flag on them. I left a tract in top of one.
I found a box of desert rolls that are geared up for the 4th. Maybe the person getting this box will read the tract when they get home! Patriotic displays are saying “Leave that tract here!”

As You Go, strategy Patriotic Tracting
Before lunch on Friday, I found out that it was Flag Day. Every year on the 14th June, the American flag is celebrated. The President makes a proclamation of this day and also the week, which is Flag Week. I also found out by talking to a National Guardsman that it was the 238th birthday of the Army. I wished Happy Flag Day to him and another soldier. I gave them the Ronald Reagan quote tract. They are Christians who have great respect for him. With Flag Day in mind, I went to Walmart at lunch with two tracts : “Are You A Good American?” and the Ronald Reagan quote tract. I was able to give out 10 tracts there. Most didn’t know it was Flag Day. One man, who had hard liquor in his cart, took “Are You A Good American? when I told him Happy Flag Day. After work, I talked with a man named Michael on the way to the Dollar Tree. He said that he had been free from cancer for 6 weeks. I was able to give him two tracts. On another Walmart trip I gave out and placed 11 more tracts. One of my Sunday School students sent me a picture (included in this post) of where he put a Ronald Reagan quote tract. He had also put several in the beer section at the Super One in Ruston. On Saturday, I gave out about 10 more tracts at Walmart and Super One. I was able to put a tract into the hands of two gay men. I asked them to read them when they had the chance. Holidays and celebrations are great opportunities to witness with tracts. We need to take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way. Someone’s eternity may depend on our availability!

As You Go, one on one, strategy, tract distribution
In the July supply you will find these tracts: 2 + 2, the texting tract, Are You A Good American, and the new one that asks the question “On a scale of 0 to 100, how certain are you that you will go to heaven?” After we went open-air preaching and witnessing Friday night, I gave the new one to a woman @ the Burger King drive-thru. When she read the front, she said that she didn’t know. I gave the Are You A Good American? to a Vietnamese man at Fred’s when I saw him at the check out with 4th of July decorations. This is a great tract for this month because of the patriotism that is presented in the celebration of the 4th. When I give this one to someone, I ask “Did you get your 4th of July tract? I’ll say “Here’s your 4th of July Gospel tract. Have a good 4th!” This one will go well at a firework display and where fireworks are sold. Antonio seemed very appreciative when I gave him one tonight at Walmart. I also gave one to Troy, the new worker at our Dollar General. There are displays in stores going up for the holiday. I placed one in front of American flag plates on a shelf in Walmart. Anywhere you will find an American flag will be inviting you to leave this tract there. Take advantage of the freedom that we have to share our faith! Jesus gave us freedom so that we can tell others that they can be set free also!
