Had the privilege to attend the Southeast tract meeting. I am personally not a official "tract worker", but take active interest in the tract "work". The tracts are given out in personal handouts or set up in tract racks in businesses, stores and laundromats. The tracts are free for anyone to distribute.
For those not acquainted with Gospel tract work let me clue you in. For one, we are the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, to other Mennonite groups they know us as Holdemans after reformer John Holdemon. Mennonites are Christians named after reformer Menno Simons. Our main concern is to follow Christ and the Bible with special emphasis that it is possible to live the Sermon on the Mount.
We have a branch of the Church that is the Gospel Tract and Bible Society. They print plain, no-frills tracts. The main concern is to spread the simple gospel in a fourth grade comprehension. The goal is to point people to Christ and Repentance and New Birth. When you really know Christ as your Savior---your life and its fruits and your personal outlook change. These tracts are there to point people to those Bible passages that can lead them to that end. The tracts are also there to warn the World at large about the coming judgement of God to a world that chooses to rebel against His will.
There are also tracts explaining Church doctrine and ones that promote Gospel morality (condemning drugs, pleasure seeking and immorality, etc.)
The meeting last Saturday included talks by one of the proofreaders. He stressed the fact that there is a demand for these tracts around the world in many languages. An interesting fact is that a police force in one country is presently passing out millions to it's citizens on the streets. Many private individuals and groups use them to distribute even though they are not affiliated with our church. The proof readers go over our tracts to make sure they are sound, easy to understand and able to mass produce to a world that is hungry for Truth.
I feel guilty that I could do more to help out by passing out this good literature, praying that some soul can find fulfillment and redemption in Christ. It is so worth it. So many Christians talk the talk, but do not really carry the cross of Christ as he instructs. We need to point men to that cross. Even if you can't speak to everyone personally ----tracts----the power of the written words----can reach out to millions that you will never see, if you are only willing to make the first step and pass out a tract.
