I keep my tracts in phone cases. I found this “clever wallet” at the Dollar Tree. It holds 26 business card tracts. I tried 30, but it was a little packed. This will be easy to fit in a front pocket. It’s essential to keep tracts on you to witness……as you go!

Last Saturday while my wife went to Cato’s, my youngest son and I went to Big Lots. Before going in, we approached an employee who was taking a cigarette break. I offered him the new football trivia tract, which is in the September’s supply of tracts. His name is Damon. He said that he liked football. When presenting this tract, I’ll say that it has 4 trivia questions about football. The 5th one deals with what we have in common with all football players. This opens the door to talk about the spiritual. Damon said that he thought that he was going to heaven. I explained the difference between thinking and knowing. I quoted 1 John 5:13. He said that he was thinking about the things that we talked about. He wanted to get his children in church. I pray that he turns to The Lord soon! !
I like using Bezeugen tracts because they help in a witnessing encounter to swing from the natural to the spiritual. In his message “Hell’s Best Kept Secret”, Ray Comfort talks about not shining a flashlight in the sinner’s eyes. This would be saying things like “Jesus loves you” and “Repent or else!” You have to turn the light on slowly so that the sinner can see that he or she has broken God’s law. This is what tracts and using the the Ten Commandments do. What a way to witness! Turn the light on slowly so people can see their transgression. Take them through the law of God to mirror their violations against a holy God. Show them what Jesus did so that our fine was paid in full through his blood. When you have finished talking, that person still has a tract and prayerfully, will be convicted by the Gospel message to turn to Jesus with a real repentance that will give him or her eternal life in Heaven!

This Walmart gift card display was waiting to be filled with tracts! People need the gift of eternal life!
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. – Romans 6:23
July 4, 2013 As You Go, strategy, tract distribution
I have been having a great time using this tract. Today, I gave out a few while saying “Happy Fourth of July! I still have several left to pass out at our local fireworks display on Saturday. There are many opportunities to use this tract.
I gave one to a veteran one day at Walmart. I gave two to a man and his son. After the man read the tract, he walked by and said that he was guilty. They both thanked me for giving the tracts to them. Another man that works at Walmart said that his mother was a Christian, but he we was not born again. I asked him to read the message when he had the chance. Displays with the American flag are great places to leave this tract.
Thank The Lord for the freedom that we
have to share our faith in America. We can preach on the streets, hold up signs and crosses, give out tracts, and have one on ones with the lost. Let’s take advantage of these precious freedoms everyday! We were set free to see others set free!

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!
June 28, 2013 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!

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!

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!”

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!

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!
