Gospel Tracts
Gospel tracts are small pamphlets detailing the plan of salvation in order to bring people to know Christ. This is one of the most effective tools in the Christian's arsenal of weapons in fighting for the kingdom. They can be found in most languages and many attractive styles. Some Christian tracts are even done in cartoon form to attract the attention of both children and adults, while others are concise and straightforward to quickly offer the message of hope and salvation. "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love." (John 15:9)
There are many reasons why churches, missionaries, and others will use this tool to gain souls or teach people more about their faith. For some, this method of explaining the gospel helps them know what to say when sharing their faith. Some read through the gospel tracts with another person. This helps the sharer gain confidence when speaking to someone else about their faith. Other times, handing this information to someone works well, especially in places where conversation is difficult or there is little or no time to talk. Some people mail these pamphlets to friends who do not know Christ or these Christian tracts can be used in Sunday school to help bring children to salvation.
Many wars, including the Civil War, have been used to spread the Word of God through these short, but hard-hitting brochures. For the first time, during the time of the Civil War, millions of pieces of literature were distributed to the masses, resulting in many conversions. Groups found out that this literature could be an effective way of expanding the ministry of one person. Handing out gospel tracts to soldiers, and other individuals, give the receiver time to mull over the Scriptures and message. The small booklet allows the soldier or businessperson the opportunity to take the message along with them wherever they go in a pocket or briefcase. The information found in these Christian tracts is available for weeks or months after the first contact with a believer, and they can continue sharing the message with others.
These messages of salvation and faith can be easily translated into other languages, making them essential on the foreign mission field. Gospel tracts are also vital to mass evangelism events because they are so portable and inexpensive. Groups can leave tracts in public places, such in a doctor's office, at a restaurant table, or in a teenager's room to attract those who may not be aware of Gods love. Many times one tract will pass from one person to another, expanding the influence of a persons witness far beyond what was expected. These Christian tracts have the ability to bring thousands, if not millions, of people to know and serve God.
