Handing Out Tracts

This may not be true, but it is a good read, even though a bit long.



The Pastor and his son

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, "OK, dad, I'm ready."

His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"

"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out."

Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain."

The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?" (more)

After you read the rest of the story:

Do people still pass out tracts?

Is it a valid method of ministering to the lost?

I never see anyone passing out tracts anymore. I have been in places where tracts have been left, but never anyone actually handing them out.

When I was in College, at least once a semester people would hand out New Testaments and some tracts. I've been in churches that have handed them out for community evangelism. I'm not sure what the success rate was.
