It lists some creative ways of how gospel tracts can be used.
It has always baffled me why so many Christians like to keep tracts, and treat them like souveniers or bookmarks. C’mon! Tracts are not for the saved, its for the lost. So lets get inspired to give out those tracts. Feel free to add your own ideas on how to put tracts into the hands of those who are yet to ‘saved from the wrath to come’.
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.

I believe the quality and content of the tract is very important for consideration. My most used and handed out ones are Chick Tracts “This was your Life” and “The Greatest Story Ever Told”. Which ones do you use?
53. If you’re a tuition teacher, leave the tracts on the table where your students study. So they can pick up and read before and after class (i’ve tried this!)
If i’m handing out tracts publicly, I use less Chick Tracts now, instead i order tracts from mwtb.org.
Chick Tracts are good with kids though. it attracts them.
Actually the Chick tracts are good with adults too. Everyone reads comics and it’s presented in a medium very easily accessible to all.
Btw, do you have some stock of the mwtb tracks? Which ones did you bring in as there are quite a few titles there. I’d love to bring in a whole box of good ones to hand out.
Actually i’ve been considering if our assemblies here could come up with some good publication of tracts that would really suit our local context. Sounds like a project?
i exhausted my tracts during the last election. yet to buy some more.
its true, many tracts we see are more suited to the US / UK context. it assumes the readers have a pretty good command of English.
It would really be a good project to embark on. We’ve asked our Young Adults to try coming up with some tracts, but they seem very busy to come up with some tract ideas. More busy with education than gospel work?? 😉
i once gave a Cancer related Chick Tract to my cousin who had cancer…
visited him some weeks later and the tract was still on the dining table! i thought it would be in the trash!
Brilliant!
you can also leave them in new clothes pockets at department stores. or at least the clothes you try on.
I know this is an old page, but I thought I’d add a few of my ideas 🙂 If you’re at a gas station and they have the boxes of beer that are just sitting out, not in the cold section or anythig slide them in there where the handle is. If you sell stuff online like eBay or something put them in the packages! I sell used school books & such and have gotten may nice comments when people would find the tracts in there thanking me for putting them there. At VBS put tracts in balloons and let them go you’ll never know where they will land and the kids would love it!
Hannah, thanks for the suggestions! Very interesting indeed, especially the balloon one.
