Have you or someone you know been reached with a Gospel tract?
Tracts have been used to reach more people with the gospel than we often realize.
Did you know that it is reported that the famous revival preacher George Whitefield was reached by gospel literature? Or how about the humble missionary to China, Hudson Taylor, after reading a tract entitled “Poor Richard”?
Tracts have been used for centuries to not only spread the Gospel but also have been used to teach theology to those who come into contact with them.
Who have you given a tract to recently? We cannot witness if we are not equipped. Tracts are great tools in the Christian’s tool belt to have the ability to witness without a larger time commitment at the moment. While it is wonderful to have an in-depth conversation with people about the gospel, our daily interactions are often brief and may not allow for deeper conversation. Leaving them with a tract after a kind interaction could cause curiosity, and provide an additional opportunity to reach them through gospel-centered literature.
Who could you leave a tract with each week? How about the barista at your local coffee shop, or the server at your local restaurant, or the handyman working on repairing your home?
Jesus said the fields are white unto harvest, but if we do not have our tools ready to gather the harvest, how can we fulfill the great commission?
If you often find yourself without any tracts to leave with someone you interact with, then stop putting it off. Make the commitment today to allow God to use you to reach souls He will place in your everyday path by using Gospel-centered tracts.
We would like to partner with you in helping you reach more people with the Gospel. We offer several tracts to pick from including the best-selling Good News in English (and in Spanish), More than a Tip, and Gate to Eternal Life tracts. We currently have a special promotion for a bundle of all three sets of tracts that you can purchase by clicking here. You can view all of our tracts here including all the custom versions of the tracts that can be imprinted with your personal or church’s information.
If you or someone you know has been reached through a gospel tract, would you share that story below in the comments? We and everyone else here would love to hear the stories of how God has used the simplicity of a tract to share His love.

My friend, Mike Parks, was handed a gospel tract around 1979 by someone walking in the hallway of his local college. Mike Parks began sharing the gospel with me and shortly after I trusted Christ. Praise God for His Grace!
Glorious!
Hey John, when my wife was a teenager working at Meijer, your sister (Joy Hirth) handed her a gospel tract. Although she did not read it at the time, she kept it. That Easter she had a desire to attend church and determined to visit the ministry listed on the back of the tract. She continued attending, and a few months later was gloriously born again! We are so thankful that Joy (who truly was the “fragrance of Christ”) was listening to the Holy Spirit and, in her sweet manner, offered Cindi a precious gift.
That’s so encouraging!! Thanks for sharing. Praise the Lord!
