Evangelism Tip Tuesday ~ Ease on Out of that Comfort Zone!

Are you uneasy or uncomfortable with the thought of sharing your faith? Do you wonder how you can even begin to bring up the subject? Would a tool that both breaks the ice and actually contains the entire Gospel message right on it calm your fears? If you've answered yes, yes and yes to those questions I'd like you to encourage you to get ahold of some good Gospel tracts!

Biblically sound Gospel tracts are one of the greatest resources a Christian could possibly have on hand! I stress Biblically sound because if you walk into your local "Christian Bookstore" you will most likely find that the majority of tracts being sold today are not. Be certain that the Gospel tracts you purchase contain both the Law and Grace! One without the either is not Biblical, nor helpful. (For more details please listen to "Hell's Best Kept Secret". It will help you to see the importance of sharing your faith Biblically, just as Jesus did!)

A fantastic site for getting ahold of excellent tracts is Livingwaters.com.  They sell a wide variety and you will certainly find one (or several) there that you will be enthusiastic to begin using!  

If you'd like to start with some free tracts you can begin using immediately visit needgod.com/resources.shtml.  They offer a free printable tract that contains the same simple 8 question test used at needgod.com.  It is entitled Will your "good" outweigh your "bad"?

If you are fearful of sharing your faith I'd like to first challenge you to do something simple to ease your way into stepping out of your comfort zone! Equip yourself with some great Gospel tracts and simply begin with leaving them in places where others are sure to find them. It doesn't get much easier than this folks!

Here is a list of my favorite spots to leave Gospel tracts. I hope that you will find some of these ideas helpful!:

- Shopping carts ~ Leave a million dollar bill tucked under the child's seat portion of the cart, it's sure to be noticed by the next shopper!

- In mail ~ Place tracts in with letters, cards, gifts or even bill payments.

- With a generous tip ~ This is important! NEVER leave a tract instead of or with a cheap tip! You want this to be well received!

- On seats in restaurant lobbies ~ This is especially easy if they have a spot for reading materials or business cards,ect..

- In hotels ~ I love sticking them in the phone books in hotel rooms, marking sections of the phonebook that people on vacation normally look at such as restaurants.

- In waiting rooms at hospitals, doctors' offices,ect. ~ Anywhere where literature is already setting out makes for a simple place to leave a tract!

- In airplane seat pockets ~ I love putting them in the safety instruction booklets.

- In displays of pamphlets for area tourist sites

- On sinks in a public restroom

- Cubbies where you store belongings at an amusement park

- With menus that are stored on tables at restaurants

- Dressing rooms

- In library books ~ It is so easy to "book mark" with them and leave it for the next reader to find!


... Now go ahead, you can do this! Get out there and take this simple step out of your comfort zone!!

I hope you'll visit again next week, same time, same place for another challenge and more tips for sharing your faith!
