First of all before we start witnessing we have to understand that, we desperately need to deal with those outside the church and we need to come to the Lord’s house and be filled and blessed with the Holy Spirit before we get out there. When we feel the burden for others in receiving Jesus that’s when we get the passion to testify. We need to have compassion as Christ always did for those who came close to Him.
Now, if you are not good at starting a conversation with someone, but you desire to share the gospel, here is a tip to get you started. I know that most people who can’t start up a conversation are very good in continuing a conversation that has been started by someone else. So what we are going to try doing here is to get the other person who we are trying to witness to, start up the conversation for us. So, how do we do that? It’s very simple, hand them a gospel tract. You might say that sounds ridiculous, but it’s the best way to start up a conversation in witnessing. I know that most churches do have a number of printed gospel tracts that are meant to be given out. You can use these tracts to start up a conversation that will lead you into sharing the gospel. I have found out that gospel tracts are a very good way to communicate the gospel. Gospel tracts are very good because, they can be used by anyone, they can be left anywhere, and they can be given to anyone.
You might think what I am saying is crazy, but I assure you; people do read gospel tracts, even if they are not yet believers. It will amaze you how God will use those tracts to provide you with an opportunity to witness to them and testify His glory. In the midst of handing those tracts you will see how God will use them to give you an opportunity. It might not be instant, but in one way or the other it will happen, you will definitely get a chance to witness to someone. The best thing to do is never to get tired of handing out those tracts. If you desire to do something like this, get your church involved. Produce tracts and start evangelizing. When handing out tracts, make sure to never hand out tracts you haven’t read. Be sure the tract you are about to hand out has the gospel. Ensure that it tells people how Jesus suffered and died to save their life, if it doesn’t have this message, then it’s not a gospel.
Now we have seen how tracts can help us kick off a witnessing conversation, let us also look at how we can approach people and hand them the tract.
First pray for God to intercede before you hand out a tract. Then do it with a smile and joy, don’t be rude and offensive. Always ask them politely with a smile if they would like you to give them something to read. If you do it this way, many people you approach will likely accept the offer. Be smart with people, be realistic, and feel the need for compassion. Tell them what the tract talks about and ask them if they would to learn more about it. Have respect for their answer, if they do not wish to accept the offer move on to the next person, but I can assure you that a large number of people will accept the offer depending how you present it.
You can see now how gospel tracts can be a good way to open up doors to sharing and witnessing about Christ. If you are one of those people who can’t start up a conversation, then this will be the best method to start up you conversation when it comes to witnessing. We are all called to share the gospel, we all ought to be fisher of men, and we have to do our best to find out ways to share the gospel. You and I are called to this mission and it’s our duty to serve. We are to make witnessing our lifestyle as Christians. Gospel tracts can be a very effective method of evangelism.
I hope that you find this post helpful in the process of evangelism. I hope that it helps you lead more souls to Christ. Remain blessed and let us continue witnessing.
Because of His love, I am forever a secured package
