At the store looking at netbook computers I typed a gospel message into wordpad for the next shopper to find.

Most of the posts on this blog have been about how to witness “as you go” when you actually leave your house. But, what about if you don’t go any place. Are you “going” on the Internet? Well, you can witness there too. Here is an easy way. Put a signature on your email which provides the Gospel. Here is an easy way. Put the following in your signature in your email:

your name

Are you a good person?

Be sure to check the link. You’ll find a great new video version of the “good person comic” tract put together by Living Waters. The link on the web site also provides the opportunity for non-believers to request a free resource.

Whenever I get gas for my car I put tracts in the slot for the credit card. Today there were three guys filling up the tank of a rental truck. I gave them each tracts. They read them on the spot.

When I go to the Apple Store or other electronics stores that have internet access on their computers, I like to go to several of the computers and pull up www.AfterLifeCatalog.com, www.needgod.com or one of our preaching videos at www.youtube.com/user/bezeugen/. This way when the next person comes to use one of these computers or iPads or iPhones, they will see the Gospel message.

Recently, Christie, sent me a note that she is doing similar things:

Today at Best Buy it occurred to me that I could keep a gospel file on my e-mail site. While playing with their computers, I could cut and paste my e-mail into an iPad Note or other such program. When people are playing around with it, they may encounter the Gospel!

I hope you like these ideas. Just more ways to share the Gospel “As You Go!”

An easy way to share the gospel on the airplane is to leave tracts in the magazines in the seat pockets.

Today while walking on the beach I had a number of chances to hand out some tracts. I gave one to the life guard and asked him to check it out after work so that he would not be distracted from his job. I had taken a bike from the condo down to the beach. To get back, I had to carry the bike up a set of over 150 stairs. Fortunately there were some landings along the way to rest. As I rested, I’d wait for the next person that was coming down the stairs. When they got to me, I’d hand them a tract and ask “did you get one of these?” Of course most asked what it was. By the time I got to the top of the stairs, I had had about five different one on one conversations.

On of the tracts that we have says on the front “To reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ, please dispose of this card.” I handed one of these tracts to a man. He looked at it and even read the back. He said, “I don’t want to throw it away or keep it, so here” and he handed it back. This reminded me of the lyrics to Freewill by Rush that says “Even if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” It seems this man thought he was not rejecting Christ because he was giving the card back. But, I submit that he knew what he was doing. I pray that as his head hits the pillow tonight that he is tormented by the thought that he rejected Jesus today and then will call out for forgiveness and repent and trust the savior.

Yesterday we went to Legoland, CA. I brought a supply of tracts with me. I gave them to most of the staff I came in contact with and some of the guests.
At one restaurant, a sports theme, where we ate lunch, the waiter offered us baseball cards. When he came back with them, I also gave him some baseball trivia.
The Million Dollar Bills were popular with the guests. And easy to hand out. Simply say, “here you might need some extra money to pay the bill.” They would laugh and take the tract and I would ask them to read the back.
One gal that worked there got a tract after she taught the mind storms class. She said her Dad is always interested in tracts so I gave her several more to give to him.
Around the end of the evening we were browsing in one of the shops. A guy came up and asked me where I got me “Where will you spend Eternity” shirt. I explained that we had a ministry and made the shirts ourself. I gave him my card and some tracts and told him to contact me if he’d like a shirt. He was a believer too.
Fun day at the park and the Gospel went out!

I went into Just Brakes to pick up my car the other day. When I got to the counter, I noticed one of our Easter Gospel tracts near the register. I asked if my wife had given him that when she dropped the car off. He said, no. Another customer had given it too him just a couple of minutes before. He gave me her name. Sure enough, she is a member of our tract club! He said, she left them in the waiting area too. As I left, I noticed that there was a tract (from our tract club) on each of the chairs in the waiting area.

Are you in the tract club? If not, why not sign up today and start handing out tracts every day!

Had to go to the dentist today. On the way in there is a little counter. It even had an empty business card holder. So I put some baseball trivia tracts in it. Once in the waiting room, I stuffed tracts in the magazines.

While reading a book at Strarbucks, I left a tract on the table next to my chair.
