The place where I usually pay my electric bill was closed today. I had to go to another place which led me on a different route than I usually go. I placed tracts out at the payment center and gave two to two men as I was leaving. At Capt. Ds, I placed this tract on the gift card rack. I talked to a couple as I gave them tracts. I love lunchtime!
It is so easy to find a place to put tracts where people will pick them up. You can always find someone to give a tract to. As we were waiting for my wife and daughter in the foyer of Walmart tonight, I put a tract on one of the benches. I also gave tracts to two men that were going out and coming in. Do you keep tracts on you all the time? I dont feel right if I dont have tracts when I am out and about! There are people without Jesus everywhere! We have been commissiond to go with the Gospel!
We were coming out of a restaurant and there was a huge stuffed bear set up in the entrance to the restaurant. So we put a tract in its claw. As we stood there taking pictures, others came out of the restaurant, saw the tract and wanted one. So we got to hand tracts to everyone who was standing there.
Bear with tract
I gave out six Mancard tracts at McDonald’s this morning!
February 7, 2012 As You Go, one on one
We went to the mall at lunch today. We are doing a study of the School of Biblical Evangelism and then using some time to walk around the mall (and share the Gospel). This week we were on lessons 29&30 in the material which are on the use of Gospel tracts.
At the mall, it can be challenging to share the Gospel because in many places the malls have posted signs that you can not distribute literature. So, Wally suggested that we make a tract which is a blank card – blank on both sides.
I decided to just cut up some card stock and bring it along so we could try it. We had about ten cards. There were five of us. We each took one and gave the extras to Wally since it was his idea.
I handed the first white card to a guy a the Vonage booth. Got some strange looks as he looked at both sides and realized it is blank. Finally he asked “what is it?”
We would explain that “this card contains all of the things you have done to help you earn your way to Heaven.”
He got a big smile and agreed that there is “nothing I can do.” He is a Christian and we shared a few minutes of fellowship.
Bill and I walked over to the T-mobile store. There we talked with one of the associates about their cell plans. Finally, Bill handed him the blank card. Again, he looked at it on both sides. But when we asked what he thought it took to get to Heaven he was unsure. I asked if he had considered the Bible and he said no. Actually, he did not even have a Bible. So I handed him a Bible and the Bible bookmark. I took a couple minutes to explain how to use the bookmark. He thanked us and said he would read it.
We figure the blank paper tract is inexpensive to make and also we can not be accused of handing out literature. If anything, we figure we could explain that the card if for people to write down their shopping list so that they can shop more!
All in all, the idea is a success. Will try it again!
Sometimes “as you go” means you have to actually go somewhere. Other times “as you go” simply means “as you go outside”. The city is replacing the alley behind our house. It has been fun to watch them take the old concrete out and put the new in. This afternoon while watching the activities, I gave Spanish tracts to two of the workers. Neither of us could speak the others language. But the tract can speak to them!
February 7, 2012 As You Go, tract distribution
I ordered the $1,000,000 pesos from onemilliontracts.com . I was able to hand out 6 yesterday. My wife sent me to Super One for avocados. While I was there, I saw Thomas and Alejandra. I had met them over a year ago. They got a tract from me then, also. At Walmart after work, I talked to Pablo and Elmer. They were passing through from Atlanta. My family and I went back to
Walmart after dinner. I saw Juan and Guillermo in the back of
the store. I met Juan several years ago. Both received a $1,000,000 Peso!

Hi. My name is Scott. I have been a Christian for almost 19 years. I am an evangelism blogger, Sunday School teacher, song leader, and street preacher. I am honored to post on the
As You Go blog. I pray that you find my entries encouraging.
I love to share my faith! I have been a member of the Bezuegen Tract Club since last year after finding it through Steve Sanchezs blog, Stone the Preacher.It is so easy to give out these tracts.
Today at lunch, I went to Walmart. If you are looking for someone to witness to, Walmart is full of people! I ordered the Mancard from onemilliontracts.com , where the tracts for the Bezeugen Tract Club are made. As I went through the store, I asked three men if they has received their mancard. I gave one
to Ray, Alonzo, and Riley. I explained that there was a gospel message on the back. As I left, I gave a Are You Good? We should talk. tract to Tremaine. Please pray for these men to be saved!
