What Is "Tract Month?"
Tract Month began at Mountain Lake Independent Baptist Church in 1995 when we became burdened for an effective way to saturate our community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Over the years, Tract Month has developed into an effective method of involving nearly the entire church body in the distribution of Gospel tracts. Through competition, promotion, prayer and participation, hundreds of thousands of Gospel tracts have been distributed throughout our entire region. Scores of professions of faith have been recorded over the years (including one from Beijing, China!!) Of course, only God knows the exact tally, but we are convinced that many have come to know the Lord though is effort, and many thousands more have been confronted with the need of a Savior.
How Does "Tract Month" Work?
One month out of the year is set aside as "Tract Month" (we do this in April.) Though there are a number of ways this can be implemented, we set a challenging goal, divide our church into two "teams," give some basic training of how and why to give out tracts, make attractive and affective tracts available and then pray and work hard. More practical details are given in our free "Tract Month Manual" available from Mountain Lake Independent Baptist Church.
How Can Your Church Get Involved?
The starting place is to have a burden to reach the lost, become convinced of the power and effectiveness of a simple Gospel tract, ask God to give you a vision, and then, get the free Tract Month Manual and see how this might work in your church. Any size church in even the most rural of settings can distribute a large number of tracts and have a powerful impact in your community with the Gospel of Christ.
I am asking God to touch the heart of 50 pastors to have a "Tract Month" this year. If we could average 10,000 distributed in 50 churches, that would be 500,000 tracts distributed in one month! That would have to have an impact on our nation.
By the way, missionaries on the foreign fields could impliment this into their local church and be involved in this endeavor.
Please contact me if you have any interest at all. Get the manual (it costs you nothing but a little bit of time) and see if this is something you could use at your church. Our only motive is simply a sincere desire to get the Gospel of Jesus Christ to as many people as possible.
Thanks for your consideration, Dennis Leatherman, Pastor Mountain Lake Independent Baptist Church, Oakland, MD |
