As You Go – Page 121 – Matthew 28:19

Starbucks

When you go to Starbucks you can put a tract or two in the display with the gift cards. Here are a couple of pictures that Todd sent me:

A new restaurant

September 22, 2011Carltract distribution

My wife and I tried out a new restaurant in town. The food was good. And the tables have little tract holders right on them!!

Tract Holder on table

Many times I post pictures like this. I don’t want to give the impression that I only leave the tracts on the table, window sill or whatever. At this particular lunch, I gave a tract to the cashier, another to the woman who brought our food out and another to the one who bused the table. So in addition to the one I left here on the table, there were at least three more given out in person.

The other day, I texted a friend while I was out at lunch and told him about a person I had met. He texted back and asked “did you witness to him?” I texted back and said “am I breathing? :-)” The point is, we should witness to everyone we meet. The goal of this BLOG is to share some simple ways to do that. Use the tracts to break the ice. Encourage people to read them even if there is not time to have a conversation at the time.

Bulletin Board

This bulletin board at the gas station was a good place to leave some tracts.

Window Sill

While sitting in Starbucks working on my computer, this window sill looked like a good place to leave a Gospel tract.

Bar-b-cutie

When Wally went into the Bar-b-cutie with his family for lunch recently, there was a table set out in the restaurant to place business cards. It turned out to be a great place to place some tracts. Look for places like this “as you go” so that you can leave tracts for people that come by. They may see the eye catching designs, pick up the tract and read it! The Lord may use that to bring them to repentance and faith in Jesus and receive eternal life.

Why are you at the mall

September 9, 2011Carlstrategy

We often plan special trips to the mall just to share the Gospel. Our current schedule is to go to Stonebriar Mall in Frisco every Tuesday at lunch. Last week when I went into the mall, I noticed a new sign that they had painted on the wall.

The sign states “what brings you today?” and then lists a number of stores/reasons. It struck me that “share the Gospel” was not included in the list.

Now, I understand that every person does not necessarily come there to intentionally share the Gospel like we had done. We will come and eat lunch and then wonder around for 45 minutes to an hour to specifically share the Gospel. But, shouldn’t every person who calls themselves a Christian ultimately be there to share the Gospel “as you go”

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:19a)

Jesus’ command to us is to make disciples. The fact that we are going is implied. So, yes, while we may be going to the mall to shop or watch a movie, please remember the command of our Lord to make disciples as we go!

New T-shirt

September 9, 2011Carlstrategy

We designed a new t-shirt to help you share the Gospel “as you go”. The shirt says “Are You Ready?” on the front and features Hebrews 9:27 on the back. Just wearing this shirt prompts people to ask “ready for what?” and then you can ask them if they are ready for judgement or eternity. The shirts are for sale on the Bezeugen Zazzle site.

Do you already have one? Please post a comment with your experience wearing the Are You Ready t-shirt!

Got tickets?

September 4, 2011Carltract distribution

We had tickets to the Oklahoma State football game. I brought a couple hundred football trivia tracts and handed them out before the game. A couple people stopped and went through the questions and I had some brief conversations as well.

So next time you have tickets to a ball game, why not share the Gospel “as you go”? Just bring some tracts and hand them out to a few (or few hundred ) people.
