Reaching People Using Gospel Tracts

Why should you give out tracts? Here are 10 reasons: 

1. They are a very economical form of evangelism. 

2. They work while we sleep. 

3. They have the ability to get into a house and stay there. 

4. They are never afraid or show cowardice. 

5. They are never tempted to compromise their message. 

6. They never get tired, discouraged or give up. 

7. They stick to what they have to say and never argue. 

8. They can present the message when we don't have the time. 

9. They can go to places where we cannot. 

10. Most importantly, they open up a door to speak about the things of God. 

When giving out tracts don't ask, "Would you like one of these?" They will probably just say 

"No", or "What is it?” Instead ask, "Did you get one of these?" That makes the person feel that 

he is missing out on something, and it also stirs up curiosity. Most people will at least take it to 

be polite. Try it...it really works! 

After you've handed someone a tract, you can simply tell them "It's a Gospel tract". After that, 

you're in. You have single-handedly opened up the door to a spiritual conversation (which is 

crucial if you actually want to witness to someone). You can let the next words out of your 

mouth be "Do you have a Christian background?" or "Do you go to a church around here?” After 

they answer your question, just continue leading the conversation from there, and work in your

Gospel presentation. I cannot think of a more simple (and inoffensive) way to work in the things of God.
