Featured The Way of the Master moment episode Gospel Tracts

Did you leave your contact information on the tract (even a separate e-mail that you use specifically for this like "evantracts at gmail" or something) so that people can contact you and you can assist them in their beginning their walk in the Lord?

 

You just stick a sticker on the back. It isn't hard to make room.

 

So how do you follow up on them. The great commission is 3 fold. Why ignore 2/3 of it?

 

If it is this one, there is room on the front cover:

Our churches often will get together with the purpose of reaching out to people with the gospel. When we have local festivals in the summer we will typically pass out water which often provides an opportunity to share the gospel. I don’t live very far from Manchester TN and a group from a couple of churches goes to Bonnaroo and sets up a tent for shade and water with the same purpose. I don’t know the impact that these guys have experienced.

What we do is involve ourselves in our community. Last year we had a fall festival at the church and this proved an opportunity to witness not only to the youth but to many parents. We had not been members of that church for long, but this type of event resulted in over 12 baptisms (this is a medium sized church…about 250 members). I remember taking note that there were a couple of teenagers but most were adults in their early 30’s and up. I find this significant for a couple of reasons. First, these were not people enticed by things like fall festivals (cotton candy and bouncy houses). Second, they are still among us. We also have a few people who were saved through the hospital ministry.

My wife and I have helped in these festivals and we've helped with the youth outreach. I do not believe that we are saved for the sake of being saved, but rather that God creates us in Christ for good works which He has prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. We are saved with a purpose far greater than ourselves.
