Ten Tips for Using Gospel Tracts
By Massimo Lorenzini
Tracts are great tools for witnessing. Whether you simply
let the tract do the witnessing or you use it as an icebreaker to open a
conversation, the key is to use them.
Keep
them handy in your car, near your front door, at your desk or place of
work, etc.
Have
one or two with you at all times (you can keep them with your wallet and
keys when home so you will remember to take them with you).
Look
for opportunities to offer one (with a co-worker, neighbor, mailman,
cashier, server, include with a bill payment, be creative!).
Offer
an appropriate tract to the individual (you can’t go wrong with the Gospel
of John).
Smile
and say something as simple as, “You’re doing a great job. This is
something for you.”
Ask
the person to consider reading it; maybe offer a reason why they should
read it.
If you
want to offer them to a stranger, just say something like, “Did you get
one of these?” This will cause them to be curious about it and not want to
be left out of receiving one.
Be
aware of opportunities to offer a verbal witness to those you give a tract
to. Many people are open to hearing a Christian tell the way of salvation.
Pray
regularly for the Lord to use you in your witnessing ministry.
