Do any of you guys use tracts to witness to others?

[Kevin007]

I need to order some more. There are a few sites that give out free tracts for unbelievers, some even in other languages like Arabic, Chinese, Spanish etc.... Have any of you left tracts for others to see/read/find/notice?

I used to drop some on a sunny day in a Mosque parking lot




Has anyone come to you and wanted to talk about Jesus before?

I used to have a ton of tracts, because at one time I worked at a Christian bookstore.

Now, I just have a few.

I think we talked about this on another thread, the last time I did street evangelism was with YWAM, at the Carnaval outreach.

It was SOOOO fun!

Here's a small glimpse of it:



(when she mentions "sangria" in the video, she is talking about a soft drink in Mexico...not the alcoholic drink, just to make that clear, haha!)

I've left tracks lying around at laundry mats. I don't know if they had an effect or not. Usually people in jail are receptive to any reading material you give them.

In the past, I've passed out hundreds of these.....

Seems to attract attention when people see something shiny.

I've also passed out hundreds of these...

I find I like to pray over them first, then drop them all over the place- anywhere they will be seen...

I used to buy a ton of them and give them to the people at church so they could pass them around. They were all very receptive when I offered to give them out so they could use them.

50 Ways to Use Gospel Tracts

The following are 50 responses to a Moments With The Book poll asking tract buyers how they have used tracts in the past. If you have any other ways that you have used tracts, feel free to send them to us. Maybe we'll add them to the list.
You might not agree with all of the items below (we certainly wouldn't use some of them), but hopefully they will give you some ideas of how you can use the "silent messengers" where you live.
No matter where or how you choose to distribute tracts, we have these suggestions:

1. Obey all local ordinances. (Some areas or stores, including the US Post Office, have prohibited the distribution of literature). This also includes littering, etc.
2. Leave at least two copies of a tract so someone will feel better about not taking the last one. Plus you'll double the number of souls witnessed to!
3. Most importantly, ask God to use you, seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit for each tract placed, and then pray for the Lord of harvest to bless it.
1. Leave in phone booths.
2. Put in greeting cards.
3. Leave at roadside rests.
4. Put on car windows in parking lots.
5. Leave on sitting areas of shopping malls.

Okay. Some Jehovah's Witnesses just came to my door. (Literally. I'm working from home today). They wanted to give me a "Watchtower". I gave them a booklet on Jesus. One of the best opportunities to give someone else a tract is when he's given you one. Kinda hard to refuse under those circumstances. Also if you take your kids with you when passing out tracts it's not only good training for them, but also it helps your mission. Some of the people that might say no to you might take something from a child.

I always graciously accept tracts from people and usually read them. I am more likely to read them if it's not in a big city setting with a lot of heavy foot traffic, like at a local gas station or a grocery store parking lot.

One time some stranger just came up to me at my local gas station and handed me some reading material. There were other people at the station but she just came up to me only, asked me to read it, and then left. (I didn't have anything on my car or anything that would show I am an atheist.) That's how to get someone's attention to read.
