How
I Use the Evangelistic Tracts in the USA Even though the US seems flooded with Bible teaching and preaching in churches, on the radio and TV, the power of a printed tract is still very effective. Puzzled by the moral and spiritual confusion I saw in my college students,
I decided to flood the college where I worked with Christian tracts.
I did not ask for permission because it would be denied, so I did it
inconspicuously: I spoke with the pastor of my church and the office copied thousands of them to be taken on their mission trips to Mexico. They printed the name/address of the church on the back for future contact.
Note: Maria Zelia was one of the very first supporters of this ministry, even before it was called J 3:16. The encouragement received from Maria Zelia and her late husband Frank made all the difference in making this ministry a reality. Thank you, Maria Zelia!

Testimonies from the Past "Imagine! This little piece of paper could make all the difference in someone's eternal destiny!" (Maria Zelia Brandon-Kesler) |

“We
launched an evangelistic effort to reach 25,000 souls for Christ and
had no Spanish tracts. I used them to reach those who spoke Spanish.
It is great!” “Your tracts inspired me to make up some for my church. Members
of the outrech team thought they were great. Kick out of Life! I think
your doing a good job. Keep it up!” “Your site seems to be one
of the better Christian sites that I have encountered.”

“We did
download the tracts, several of them in fact, and used them in a Carnival
outreach in Buzios, Rio de Janeiro. Since this is an international vacation
site, we used Spanish and English copies, as well as Portuguese. They
were very well received by the public. They weren't discarded, but were
often read carefully. These are a great resource for ministry in the
various languages in which they are printed. “I downloaded one about God and one about the football story.
I used the second one during a kids club event based on the Olympic games.
Response was great as the youngsters liked the cartoon.”

“I like your tracts! We used them for a mission
trip by our church to Costa Rica. I served as a missionary in Costa Rica
for 12 years, had used your tracts before, and found them to be well
accepted. One of my favorites was the soccer ball one. The personal story
is also good. I tend to like the less "typically evangelistic" ones
and prefer the more low-key ones. There are plenty of the "hard-sell" type,
but few truly readable ones! I find that non-Christians are more likely
to read an attractive, interesting Christian text that includes the salvation
message rather than an overtly evangelistic tract that lists scripture
passages and warnings against hell!” |
