tract distribution

Today I was able to share the Gospel with a number of people. Saturday started like most – with Bible study and prayer at church from 6:30-8AM.

As we left, myself and another friend were in the parking lot talking when a car pulled up and two guys came over to us. They said they were with Spring and asked if they could get into the building to work on something. Since I did not have the authority to give them access to the building I made a quick phone call and got permission. Then I asked them each what their plans were for after work. They told me. I then asked what they planned for tomorrow, the next day, next year. You get the picture. They had a few things that they had planned. So I asked the really important question, what plans do you have for 100 years from now. They did not really want to talk much. But they had come to our church so I figured they should hear the gospel. I gave them each Bible bookmarks and asked them to look up the verses and answer the 10 questions.

My wife and I made a trip to two Farmers Markets. The first stop however was at the RaceTrac to refill our #sodapalooza cups with iced tea. One of the associates was working near the drinks. I asked if he liked NASCAR. He said he did, so I gave him the NASCAR trivia tract. He said thanks and I asked him to check out the message on the back.

At Farmers Market I was able to give tracts to a number of people. One lady had the name of her farm based on what I assumed was a Biblical reference. So I asked and I was right. I shared a tract with her and then asked her if she’d like some more to give to her customers. She said yes and took a stack of tracts. It is encouraging when other believers will take tracts to give out.

I was also able to hand out a number of tracts at lunch and at a quick shopping stop. Along the way today I also found two “business card’ and “gift card” racks where I left some tracts.

Didn’t get out much today. Went to work and then back home. During one break during the day I was walking out side the office and was able to give a NASCAR Trivia Tract to someone.

I had plenty of opportunities to share the Gospel today. I met a friend for lunch at Chik-FIl-A. The service at Chick-Fil-A is great. One thing I like is that while one person is the cashier, another brings your food and another gets your drink. That’s three people to give tracts to. Plus while waiting for my order, several people came for drink refills and they got tracts too. While eating some people at a nearby table asked if they could have one of the chairs from our table to pull up a fifth person to theirs. I agreed! Then as we were leaving I went back to that table and said, “excuse me, but since we gave you one of our chairs, I’d also like to give you each one of these.” Each of the five people got a tract. They were glad to receive them and said thanks. One of the tracts was the NASCAR trivia so I asked if anyone liked NASCAR. One teen aged girl said yes, so she actually got two tracts.

After work, I went to the gas station. I put gas in the car and the NASCAR trivia tract from the tract club mailing went into the credit card slot! When I went inside to get a drink, I gave a Thank You tract to the manager and iPhone texting tracts to two other employees. A man was walking into the lobby as I was leaving so he got a Bucket List tract.

My wife and I went out to dinner. After parking the car we were walking to the restaurant. Four valet’s were standing there so I walked up and handed one of them a “tetelestai” tract and said, “here is my ticket”. One of them gladly took it and then looked kind of puzzled. I gave the other three tracts also and asked them if they knew what “tetelestai” meant. We had a brief conversation and they thanked me for the tracts.

A few employees at the restaurant got tracts as we were seated. The waitress got one with a generous tip!

If you’d like to receive 30 FREE Gospel Tracts per month so that you can hand out one each day then enroll in the Bezeugen Tract Club.

I had to stop at the bank to deposit a check. After the cashier had completed the transaction I handed her a Thank You tract.

I also had a repair man come to my house to provide an estimate on some work. He had called about two and a half hours before the appointment to see if he could come early. However, since I was at work an hour away I was not able to meet him earlier. He told me that he spent the time playing Angry Birds! As we were wrapping up our business I asked him to wait just a minute because I had something I wanted to give him. I got him a copy of The Truth May Impact Your Opinion. I told him that next time he had some time to kill between appointments he could read this instead of playing a game. He thanked me a couple of times for the book. I’ll be seeing him again when he comes back to complete the estimate. So it will give an opportunity to ask if he has read the book.
