We went to Wendy’s for lunch after church. I gave a tract to the cashier.

Day 25 – Wendy’s

Went through the drive thru at Wendy’s. Gave a tract to the cashier and also to the person who served the food.

Day 24 – Brookhaven College

September 26, 2010 Carl one on one, tract a day

Todd, Stephen and I met at Brookhaven College over lunch time to witness to the kids there. I brought about 60 bottles of water that were handed out with tracts in less than 30 minutes. We also had a number of great one on one conversations. Several of the kids were genuinely ready to repent and receive Christ. We probably handed out over 100 tracts, plus about 30 copied of The Board on DVD and some New Testaments.

Will make a plan to go back soon.

Day 23 – lunch time at the mall

September 23, 2010 Carl one on one, tract a day

Craig and I met at the mall for lunch. I ate at one of the restaurants in the food court that we don’t normally frequent. That gave me the opportunity to hand tracts to the two people that work there. I gave them “Good Cards“. The woman said, “it didn’t change.” They both read the back and thanked me for giving them the tracts.

We had several great conversations with people at the mall. Alan listened intently as Craig presented the entire Law and Gospel to him. He asked some good questions showing he was engaged in the conversation. We encouraged him to repent and get right with God. I shared a story with him about a boy in our church and son’s school who passed away the other night and reminded Alan that we never know what day will be our last.

Day 22 – I got to go to the dentist

September 22, 2010 Carl tract a day

Today I got to go to the dentist. Just a regular cleaning appointment. But, did you notice that I said “got to?” That is something I learned from Mark Cahill in One Thing You Can’t Do in Heaven. If you have not read Mark’s book(s) I highly recommend it (them). Mark mentions in the book that as a Christian we no longer need to think like “I have to give” or “I have to go to church” but rather “I get to …”

With that in mind, when I go to the dentist, I also get to hand out some tracts there. So, going to the dentist becomes a good thing in terms of the chance to share the Gospel.

I think I have already given tracts to just about everyone that works there at the dentists office. My two favorite places to leave tracts there are

On the table outside of the door to the office
In the magazines in the waiting room

So I left at least 8-10 tracts at the dentists office today!

Day 21 – soap dispenser

September 21, 2010 Carl tract a day

Today was a day that I hardly left the house except to have a business dinner with my company. So, I left a couple of Dallas Cowboys Football Trivia tracts on the soap dispensers in the restroom!

Day 19 – a few tracts

September 19, 2010 Carl tract a day

Got to hand out a few tracts today. One at sonic when I picked up lunch. And another with the tip at dinner!

Day 15 – grocery store

September 15, 2010 Carl tract a day

I got to hand out at least a dozen tracts today.

First, at lunch, I gave a “good card” to the cashier and asked her to check it out after work. She said she would. We prayed for her when we blessed the food.

After work, I went to the grocery store to pick up a couple things so we could make dinner. I put a few tracts in the six packs of beer on my way back to the dairy section.

I gave a tract to the cashier and told her it has a Gospel message on the back. She thanked me for it.

Then as I left, there were apartment guide magazines on a rack by the door. I figured that people looking for an apartment would need a book mark. So I put tracts inside the apartment guides!

Day 14 – Starbucks

September 14, 2010 Carl tract a day

When I ordered my cup of coffee at Starbucks I offered the cashier a tract and said, “here is a gift for you, it has the Gospel message on the back.” She said thanks, took it and said she would read it after work.

Day 12 – waiting in line

September 12, 2010 Carl one on one, tract a day

I was waiting in line to use the rest room at a gas station. The guy in front of me had been there awhile when I walked up. He said he’d been waiting for over five minutes already. I said, “did you get one of these” and handed him a “reject the Gospel” tract.

He took the tract and said thanks and immediately began reading it. He read the front and the back. As I was about to ask him what he thought about it, he turned to me and said, “I guess I’ll use the rest room somewhere else down the road.” He put the tract in his pocket and left.

Interestingly, about 30 seconds after he left, the rest room freed up!
