The Power of Tracts in Evangelism
For centuries, tracts have been a vital tool in spreading the gospel message. These concise and portable presentations of the good news have been used by Christians since the 13th century, and their impact continues to be felt around the world today.
A Legacy of Evangelism
The story of Crossway, a ministry founded in 1938 by Clyde and Muriel Dennis, is a testament to the enduring power of tracts. During World War II, the Dennis family printed over 50 million tracts, which were distributed to people in need of hope and guidance. Today, Crossway continues to distribute 16 million tracts annually, empowering ministries and individuals to share the gospel with others.
Why Tracts Still Matter
In an age of digital communication, it’s easy to overlook the humble tract. But the truth is, God still uses these simple, printed messages to bring people to faith. Whether you’re a seasoned evangelist or just starting out, tracts offer a convenient and effective way to share the good news with others.
Getting Started with Tracts
If you’re new to using tracts, here are some tips to help you get started:
- Pray for opportunities to share the gospel with others
- Choose tracts that are relevant to the people you’re trying to reach
- Be bold and confident in your approach
- Follow up with those who show interest in the gospel
The Great Commission
As Jesus commanded His disciples, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20). Let us join together in prayerfully considering how God might use us to bring others to faith.
