Apple Store
May 13, 2011tract distribution
While visiting the apple store take a moment to leave a Gospel presentation on the iPad. A couple of good choices are to pull up the Mr Nice guy video at www.afterlifecatalog.com/goodperson/
Or the main page of the www.afterlifecatalog.com site.
The employees are sure to come ask if they can help you. So be sure to give them a tract too. Today they asked, “do you have any questions?” I said, “yes, have you got peace?” and then handed them a Got Peace tract! That lead to a nice discussion about the Gospel with two different employees.
Brookstone
While visiting brookstone at the mall we tested out their new electronic whiteboard with a message about eternity.
Sam’s
May 8, 2011tract a day, tract distribution
Gave out at least a dozen tracts at Sam’s. Tracts to the people giving samples, some of the customers. Heard one man’s testimony after I gave him a got peace tract. Left tracts in the cliff bar box and also with the gift cards while checking out.
A new Million Dollar Bill tract
April 20, 2011tract distribution
By now we have seen hundreds of different Million Dollar Bill tracts.
tri-fold million
As we hand them out people laugh and ask is it real. Most of the tracts are very similar except that they have different characters on the front.
Recently, Daniel Beaudoin made a Million Dollar Bill tract that is unique. It looks like a million dollar bill. Yet it is a tri-fold! This allows it to use a larger font and contain a longer Gospel message. I was able to get in on the initial printing of these bills.
As I left the house to go meet my wife for lunch, the postman was bringing the box of tracts up to my house. I put the box inside and opened it up and took a few of the tracts with me. I gave a couple of them out at Qdoba and then left one in the information holder on the way out of the restaurant.
Daniel may be doing a future run of these tracts. To see what the tract looks like see these pictures. To order from him you can reach him through Norcal Seed Sowers.
A gift card with eternal value
I used to shoo at Home Depot but they are on the AFA boycott list for their support of gay marriage. So today I went to Lowe’s. At the check out I added a tract to the fifty card. Whoever gets this gets a gift with an eternal value.
One at Fuzzy’s
Left a couple of one tracts under the plastic top on the table at Fuzzy’s.
Shopping cart
April 5, 2011tract distribution
Here is a simple way to share the gospel when you go to the store. When you park your car, look for someone who is putting their groceries in the car. Go over to them and offer to take their cart back to the cart return or back to the store. I’ll say something like:
“Hi, may I take your cart back for you?”
Sometimes I’ll help load the groceries into their car. Then I hand them a tract and take the cart for them.
I have yet to have anyone turn down this offer of help.
When I hand them the tract I’ll simply say, “here is a gospel tract for you.” You know what they normally say?
“Thanks!”
It might even lead to a one on one conversation if they have time to talk.
Cartoon of eggs
A friend sent this picture after leaving a tract in a cartoon of eggs. Neat thing is a customer will likely get this in the store since most people open the cartoon to check that the eggs are not broken.
It has been a while
Wow
It has been a while since I have been here. So busy. Sometimes I think that is the way the enemy keeps you from the work the Lord has for you. Busy work all the time.
I am getting ready for the Major League Baseball Outreach! This Saturday, the Rangers, next Saturday, the Frisco Rough Riders, the following week, the Arkansas Travelers! I have my tracts ordered, just waiting to receive them.
My mom is going to go with me to the Arkansas Travelers game. I am so excited and pleased that she is even willing to go out with me and step outside of her box, it is hard to step outside of that box!
Well, I have been tracting all over town. I love to drop them in the beer boxes at WalMart! Thank you Carl for that idea. Bobby said he had a response from someone that found one of his tracts in his case of beer he bought at WalMart. That is encouraging to know that they are found, read and even responding to the tract. Bobby was able to share the Gospel with him!
I set out to share at least 100 tracts a week just after the Super Bowl Outreach. I made that goal several times. Unfortunately that small thing called life got in the way and I have not been successful at getting those tracts out each week. I have tracted about 50 today at WalMart & Sams. It is good to put the tracts in the beer but today it struck me that the people who drink Cokes need the Gospel as well. ;-/
I am still praying for the courage and opportunity to finally speak to someone I have handed a tract, maybe this Major League Outreach will have just that opportunity.
My question is this, will you pray for the outreach? All of the outreaches that will be happening across the country, all because one man decided to take a step of faith and put this outreach in the hands of the Lord, trusting that He would provide a team for each Major League city. Not only did the Lord provide for each of the 30 cities, He has also provide for some of the Minor League cities!! How amazing is our God! All because one man answered a call.
What is the Lord calling out to you to do? Does it seem so huge that there is no way it could ever happen? How exciting will it be when it actually does come to pass!! How amazing is our God!!
Please remember Carl and his family & Craig and his family in your prayers. Please remember this ministry in your prayers and support it when you can.
as unto Jesus….
