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

READ MORE

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,

Day 23: NASCAR Trivia

READ MORE

The lease on my car was up. So I was at the dealership looking for a car to replace it. After selecting the car and waiting for the paperwork, I was ouside cleaning out the old car. I walked across the parking lot and as I was walking one of the employees was coming right towards me like he needed to ask me something. I said, “are you looking for me?” He said no, but then stood there. There was kind of that awkward silence. So I asked, “do you like NASCAR?” He said he loves it. So I said, “well, then I guess you were looking for me afterall.” I pulled out a NASCAR trivia tract from the June mailing of the Bezeuegen Tract Club and handed it to him. He was excited to get it and even more thrilled to find out that it had the Gospel on the back. He thanked me for giving it to him.

I had the opportunity to share several other tracts at the dealership.

Denison Dam Spillway at Lake Texoma

Saturday! Working for the weekend! Resting for my work week! No matter how you put it this was a day to hand out many tracts. My wife and I drove to visit our oldest son at college and for me to be with him on Fathers Day. We had a little extra time on the drive up. So we stopped at Lake Texoma and saw the spollway where water has only passed over it four times in history. It was an impressive site to see. Many others were there taking in the view of the water rushing over the spillway – almost all of them got a tract. I have some extra “Patriotic Bookmarks” that will be in the July mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club, so I mainly was handing these out at these stops. I would simply hand it to someone and say, “here is a Patriotic bookmark for you.” They would look at it, take it and say thank you! With some I’d add, “there is some scripture on the back.”

At one rest area I purchased a small souvenir and gave the cashier an “Are You a Good Person” tract from the June Mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club. A guy came up to buy something and I handed him one of the bookmarks and mentioned it had scripture on the back. He took it and then said, “you know I really needed this, I’m having a bad day, struggle with my wife, and this scripture will really help!” You see when you hand out tracts you never know who you might bless!

The #dailytractchallenge for the day was to to put a tract into a six pack of beer. I completed it at Wal-Mart – twice!

Day 19: Thank you for the coffee

READ MORE

I stopped at Starbucks on my way to work. I gave the cashier a Thank You tract from the June mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club.

Day 18: The most important question

READ MORE

Some days it seems like by the end of the day I have not had a chance to witness to anyone. Today is NOT one of those days. I decided to stop for a coffee on my way to work and spend some time catching up on some emails. When I got out of my car, there was a man working in the area. I offered him a “Who do you say that I am?” tract and asked “do you know the answer to this 2015-06-18 08.21.06question that Jesus asks?” He said “no”. Then I asked if he had heard of Jesus. Again, “no”. I had a brief time to share with him. Then he excused himself and had to get to work. I encouraged him to read the tract!

As I walked up to the Starbucks there was a young lady sitting at one of the tables outside. I asked “excuse me, can I ask you a quick question?” She said yes. So I said, “do you know what happens after YOLO?” and handed her a YOLO tract from the June mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club. She took it and we had a brief conversation. I explained to her that that the Bible says “it is appointed once to die and then the judgement… and that is what happens after YOLO!”

Inside at Starbucks, I asked three employees the most important question and gave them each “who do you say that I am tracts.” They all professed to be believers in Jesus and that He is their Lord and savior. I praised God and asked them to share the tracts with someone who needs to hear the Gospel.

Day 17: short term mission trip

READ MORE

It was another one of those days where I left home at 6:30 AM, sat at my desk all day, drove home and … never had a chance to share the Gospel with anyone. So after dinner I decided it was time for a short term mission trip to share the Gospel. In the process, I left a tract at the gas pump where I filled up my car with gas. At the store, in the parking lot, I handed a NASCAR trivia from the June mailin gof the Bezeugen Tract Club to a guy guy who was walking to his car! I also put a tract into a case of water at the store. And gave a tract to the cashier where I checked out.

Oh, I got some ice cream while I was at the store.
