What Is A Gospel Tract?

​What is a Gospel tract? 

A Gospel tract is a small booklet or pamphlet that presents a condensed version of the Christian gospel message. It is often used as a tool for evangelism or sharing one's faith with others. Gospel tracts typically contain key teachings from the Bible, including the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, and may include personal testimonies, illustrations, or relevant scriptures.

Gospel tracts come in various sizes and formats, ranging from simple folded pieces of paper to professionally designed booklets. They are usually distributed in public places, such as street corners, parks, or during outreach events. Some individuals or organizations also include gospel tracts in mailings or leave them in public spaces for people to discover.

The purpose of a gospel tract is to provide a concise and accessible presentation of the Christian message, with the hope of reaching individuals who may not have heard or understood it before. It serves as a tool for initiating conversations about faith, offering a way for people to consider the claims of Christianity at their own pace and convenience.

Gospel tracts have been used for many years as a means of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others. They are considered a practical resource for believers who desire to spread their faith and communicate the essence of the gospel in a clear and concise manner.

Friday Evangelism - July 8, 2022 ​​I gave out tracts at two Walmarts after work today. I gave one to a man who works for Newk’s. I said “Here’s something free who works for Newk’s. I did the same with 3 Walmart employees. At the second Walmart, I saw a man who took a Rock and Roll trivia. He was wearing a 666 hat, a face mask with a satanic symbol on it, and a very disturbing shirt that I will not quite. I saw him checking out and offered him a Yolo tract as he was leaving. He asked what it was and said that he didn’t want anything religious. I asked where he was going when he died. He said “Nowhere”. I asked his name as he left the store. Please pray for Tony. I pray that I’ll see him again. Another man started talking with me on the other side of the store. He was taking kind of strange, saying that it was only going to get worse. I offered him the May The Lord Be With You tract. His hands were full, so I put it in his shirt pocket. A man wearing a Yoda shirt took the same tract. I did a McDouble at the McDonald’s drive-thru with the Thank You tract I left three Blessed Is The Nation tracts at Ace Hardware as I was checking out.

I later found out that this was a Gothic metal shirt. I approached him and his friend. They both took the Rock & Roll Trivia tract as I said “Here’s something free for Rock & Roll fans”. He also had a tattoo of the devil on his arm. They both took the tracts. Getting water, a man was trying to get water from the back of the top shelf. As tall as he was, he still couldn’t reach the pack. I had a shovel that we were getting for one of the boys. I said “See if this will work”. He was able to reach the water and bring another one up for the next customer. I offered him the Uncle Sam million. As he took it, I asked if he was a Christian. He didn’t answer. As he walked off, I noticed that the shirt he had on had a NFL label at the neck. My wife said that the New Orleans Saints logo was on the sleeve. He may have been a retired Football player. A woman at the register and the cashier took the Eternity tract. A man who I wanted to give a tract to inside the store was at the gas pumps. He took the Rock & Roll trivia tract.
