Tracting on Flag Day and Saturday
June 16, 2013 As You Go, strategy
Before lunch on Friday, I found out that it was Flag Day. Every year on the 14th June, the American flag is celebrated. The President makes a proclamation of this day and also the week, which is Flag Week. I also found out by talking to a National Guardsman that it was the 238th birthday of the Army. I wished Happy Flag Day to him and another soldier. I gave them the Ronald Reagan quote tract. They are Christians who have great respect for him. With Flag Day in mind, I went to Walmart at lunch with two tracts : “Are You A Good American?” and the Ronald Reagan quote tract. I was able to give out 10 tracts there. Most didn’t know it was Flag Day. One man, who had hard liquor in his cart, took “Are You A Good American? when I told him Happy Flag Day. After work, I talked with a man named Michael on the way to the Dollar Tree. He said that he had been free from cancer for 6 weeks. I was able to give him two tracts. On another Walmart trip I gave out and placed 11 more tracts. One of my Sunday School students sent me a picture (included in this post) of where he put a Ronald Reagan quote tract. He had also put several in the beer section at the Super One in Ruston. On Saturday, I gave out about 10 more tracts at Walmart and Super One. I was able to put a tract into the hands of two gay men. I asked them to read them when they had the chance. Holidays and celebrations are great opportunities to witness with tracts. We need to take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way. Someone’s eternity may depend on our availability!
