December 10, 2011As You Go, tract distribution
Here are a couple of posts from a tract club members BLOG which are really encouragining and show how he is sharing the tracts “As You Go”…
It is really encouraging to hear how others are using our tracts and sharing the Gospel “As You Go”. If you have some experiences, please post comments below.
You can enroll in the Bezeugen Tract Club online to receive 30 FREE Gospel tracts per month.
The past ten days we have been blessed beyond belief to have my good friend Duane visit from California. In addition to the good fellowship, we were able to witness at the State Fair, World Series, have a mock funeral and have some great discussions like about God Sized Questions. One thing that we discussed is that while all these outreaches are great, that what we really want to encourage people to do is to share the Gospel “as you go”.
What do we mean by “as you go evangelism”? Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 “as you go make disciples…” This does not necessarily mean making a trip overseas to Africa or Asia. Rather, the going is implied and the making disciples is the action. So where are you going today? To the store? Great. Use that as an opportunity to make disciples. Are you going to work? Great! Use that as an opportunity to make disciples as you go to work. Are you going to school? Great, use going to school as an opportunity to make disciples!
You get the idea. Anywhere you go is an opportunity to make disciples. I love the excitement of the big “events” like the World Series and the State Fair. There are thousands of people there. We can hand out a lot of tracts, preach the Gospel and share the Gospel one on one with many people. What I have found over the last five years is that by going to events, it is like a little mini mission trip. It could be a mission trip to a ball game to hand out some tracts. Or a mission trip to the mall to talk one on one with some people.
What I have found is that little mission trip made people more evident in my life. If I had been on one of these mission trips to the mall during lunch and then stopped on the way home from work to run an errand for my wife, when I stopped at that store, I was more apt to hand someone a tract or share the Gospel with them one on one. Over time that would spill over to the next day and then the next.
If you were to hang around me, or talk with one of my close friends or family members, you’d see or hear about how I normally hand a tract to someone everywhere that I go. This came from years of practice doing it and making these little mini mission trips.
I’d like to encourage you to do the same. You never know whose path you will cross that needs to hear the Gospel from you! I encourage you to join the Bezeugen Tract Club and receive 30 FREE Gospel tracts per month from us. Then hand them out one each day to the people who God brings across your path!

A member of our tract club, Scott, sent me this picture of a tract that he left at Burger King!
This is an easy way to hand out Gospel tracts. When we ask people why they don’t hand them out, by far, the number one answer is FEAR! This fear can be fear of a person rejecting them or the fear of not knowing what to say if the person asks to have the tract explained to them. When putting tracts out like this, the fear is gone because the person who gets it will get it after you have left!
Please email us your pictures and we will add them to the BLOG here! Let’s see the creative ways you come up with to put tracts out.
I went to the store to share the Gospel and happened to get some milk while I was there. I gave tracts to two people and put about six more in the six packs of beer. When I handed a tract to the cashier and told her it was a Gospel tract she got really excited and said “cool”!
You see, you don’t need to be afraid to hand someone a Gospel tract. Most of the time they will be thankful and take it!

Halloween is a great opportunity to hand out tracts. My wife and I sat on the bench in front of our house. When the kids came to trick or treat we would give them candy and a Gospel tract. Many others did the same. Here are some comments from people on the Bezeugen Tract Club Facebook page:
13 out of 13 kids got tracts with their treats. – Katie
I handed out about 50 at a mall exit. It was interesting; as they where coming out the exit I just stuck out a card and said its free here have one. Everyone was happy to receive one because they where free. It was awesome. I said don’t forget to read the back. – Kenneth
I am sure there are many others who handed out tracts at the mall, at home or at some church event. I had another comment of handing out tracts door to door:
Lastnite as we went trick or treating when they gave my daughter candy my son handed them a gospel tract it was good – Rodney
Keep these ideas in mind for next year and then try one or more of them out. In some of these cases you don’t even have to go anywhere as the kids come right to your door!

I posted an article to the main Bezeugen BLOG that I thought you would find encouraging to include in ways to share the Gospel “as you go”. It includes:

A tract club member, Scott, emailed me this message. I pray that it will encourage you to share the Gospel – As You Go!
I went grocery shopping with my family tonight. We usually have church on Thursdays, but we had it on Tuesday this week because of preparation for a weekend wedding. When we pulled in to the parking lot, we saw our friend Bro. Wayne , Bro. Willard , and two other men that they go to church with. They were preaching and holding signs. Bro. Wayne and his wife have been preaching in front of Walmart for many years. I have preached there with them a few times before. We preached together at the mall one Christmas. Bro. JJ preached with them a few weeks ago. They said that they are going to be out there every Thursday night. Bro. Willard is also a veteran street preacher. A homosexual ran other him with a motorcycle while he was preaching at a bar several years ago. Please pray that the Lord will bless their efforts.While in Walmart, I talked to a Spanish couple, Daniel and Dora. They said that they were Christians. I told Daniel about how I have learned some Spanish. I also told him about some of the Spanish music that I listen to. I gave him my work business card. He had an interest in getting some glasses. I pray that I get to talk to them again. I asked Robert if he was saved. He responded that he went to church, but wasn’t doing right. After I has asked him where he would be if he died five seconds ago, he said that he would be in hell. I gave him the tract ( from the Beuzeugen Tract Club ) that appears in the picture below. I pray that I will see Robert in Heaven ! Have you shared your faith today ?

Is your house like mine? The majority of what comes in the mail is junk. When I bring the mail in, I sort it into stacks. There is the stack of things to recycle, the stack of things to shred, the stack of things that I actually need and then one more stack … business reply envelopes. You know the ones I am talking about. They are the credit card offers, the magazine offers, etc that send the postage paid business reply envelopes in the mail.
Well, rather than putting them in the recycle pile, create a separate pile of them. Then once a week, or whatever works for you, stick tracts in each envelope and put them in your mailbox. The postage is already paid and whoever gets them will receive something even more valuable than what they were requesting – the message of eternal life!

Putting tracts into envelopes.
Recently I was meeting a friend at Starbucks. I went inside and ordered some iced tea lemonade. When I paid the cashier I gave her a Gospel tract. I said, “I came in here to give you this Gospel tract, and I figured that I should buy something while I was here!” She thought that was an interesting comment, took the tract and said she would read it.

I like to leave tracts on the counter at Fuzzy’s where they have the menu’s laid out for people to read…
