This is the 180th mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club. That means it is the last mailing to complete Fifteen years of mailings! Milestones are great. But there are still people to reach. So please keep being bold and share the Gospel.
Football or baseball? Which one do you like better? Which one do your friends like better? What about people you meet? Do you see a lot of people wearing the jersey’s, t-shirts or hats of a favorite team? Chances are they like that sport. Yes, there are exceptions where people say something like “I know someone who knows the quarterback”, but in my experience those examples are few and far behind.
According to a blog post online the three most popular sports in America are Football (74.5%), Basketball (56.6%), and Baseball (50.5%). With that in mind, Football and Baseball are both in full swing in September. The baseball season is winding down and headed towards the playoffs. The football seasons for college and pro are both heating up with seemingly every team’s fans thinking “this is the year” that we will win the championship.
We have included two trivia tracts this month. One for football and one for baseball. Don’t just ask someone if they want one. We suggest posing the question as “which sport do you like more, football or baseball?” Then give them the trivia tract that aligns to their answer. Based on the statistics named above, more people should say football, but that might depend on the sample size.
Now you might be thinking, what if they ask me about the questions. Or better yet, what if you engage them in a conversation and ask them the questions. Now I can feel the fear coming over you as you think you don’t know anything about football or baseball, especially when it comes to trivia!
Well, don’t worry. We have mentioned in these letters in the past that all of our trivia tracts have the same back. Keeping in mind that the answers are multiple choice, that means (you guessed it) the answers are the same regardless of which tract you hand out. Therefore you can confidently ask question one call out the answers and then wait for their answer. Since the answer to question one is always A, you already would know if they are right without even looking on the back. This really comes in handy when you realize that by donation you can request other trivia tracts including baseketball, NASCAR, Indy Car, Soccer and Rock N Roll. So have no fear. Ask the questions!
The last question allows you to segway to the Gospel.
