I “met” Cecil on Facebook. We have become good friends and chat all the time on Facebook and email. I hope to meet him soon as I will probably take a weekend trip to Houston sometime in the near future. Cecil is a real encouragement. Not only does he walk 10 miles a day, he is on fire to share the Gospel with people that he meets on his walks. Cecil has been a Christian for 50 years. But, he has just recently started sharing the Gospel daily as a result of some training at his church. I encourage you to read his testimony. Cecil is primarily handing out tracts from his church with the Permanent Gift web site and video on them. He is also using tracts from the Bezeugen Tract Club.
In this audio clip, here how easy it is to hand a Gospel tract to someone.
In this audio clip, Cecil hands a bookmark tract to a man at the service station so that he can look up the scripture verses!
You can read Cecil’s full (and continually growing) Gospel report online. Cecil is an inspiration as he shares the Gospel with people that he meets. Please pray for him as he walks his neighborhood and shares the Gospel. Then learn from his boldness and go and do likewise!
Ruston, La. – This city is not too far from where we live. There is a thrift store there that we go to. I expect to see Spanish men there. I gave out seven $1,000,000 pesos to Mario, Abel, Vernon, Juan, Alfredo, Eguardo, and Ricardo. Vernon was a Christian. Abel seemed to be hungry for something more. I gave another Spanish man a tract at the Chinese restaurant where I left tracts at the table and one for the waitress.
As my wife and daughter visited the women stores, my sons and I hit Burke’s, McDonald’s (for tea and witnessing), and Office Depot.
Brandon and Mon got Mancards at McDonalds. Casey and Randall got them at Office Depot. Casey has already seen a $10 money tract that his friend had found. I think God is trying to speak to him!
I picked up pizza after work tonight. I left two tracts inside. As I was leaving, I gave a Mancard tract to a delivery driver. I told him what it was about and that it had a gospel message on the back. He said “I’ll read it.”!

I took my children to the Chevron for Icees after prayer meeting tonight. A man spoke to me as we walked in. He remembered me from giving him the Legend Of The Candy Cane tract at Christmas. I gave him a Mancard tract. His name was on my prayer list that I had prayed over at the prayer meeting. I had prayed for him and then, saw him
at the store! His name is Louis.
The young man behind the counter asked me for a Mancard after he saw the one that I had gave to another man. I went to our van to get one for him and his co-worker. As we were leaving, I gave one to a man that was going in. Five tracts were received in one short trip to the store!

I took my wife to Red Lobster tonight for our anniversary dinner. Our thirteenth anniversary was yesterday.I gave tracts to both of our servers. I found out that one was a Christian. Someone had to pick up the tracts in the photos! At Walmart, I gave tracts to a few employees. Justin told me that he wasn’t saved. I encouraged him to read the tract when he had a break. I gave out five $1,000,000 pesos. Some of their name are Carlos, David, Cuanta, and Diego. How long does it take for you to witness to ten people?

Why should you give out tracts? Here are 10 reasons….
1. They are a very economical form of evangelism.
2. They work while we sleep.
3. They have the ability to get into a house and stay there.
4. They are never afraid or show cowardice.
5. They never compromise their message.
6. They never get tired, discouraged, or give up.
7. They stick to what they have to say and never argue.
8. They can present the message when you dont have time.
9. They can go to places where we cannot.
10. They only speak when they are read.
When giving out tracts, dont ask, Would you like one of these?. They will probably say No or What is it?
Instead ask, Did you get one of these? That makes the person feel that he is missing out on something, and it also stirs up curiosity. Try it….it really works! If you know the person, ask for their opinion of the tracts content. If you are too shy to give out tracts, mail them when you are paying bills or just leave them where they can be found. Many people have been saved through tracts, including the great missionary Hudson Taylor. Make tracts a habit for life!
