Free Salvation Postcards - Witness to people 1000 miles away or right next door!

[mjsk]

I wanted to share an effective means of spreading the Gospel with you.

We've put together a brief message explaining how to be saved that will fit on a postcard. This is an image of the card:


We have also had this message translated into Spanish and Korean (we hope to add more languages soon).

For the price of a postcard stamp, you can witness to a person that may live 1000 miles away that you would never meet in person, or even witness to someone who speaks a different language that you can't communicate with, or even to someone right down the street that you feel would be receptive to this type of witness.

Or, for absolutely free you can pass them out by hand (someone that used them let us know of a clever method they used to distribute them even to people who wouldn't ordinarily take one: On a hot summer day, they stood on a street corner and offered passersby a free bottle of water and the tract).

Here are links to the print-ready tracts. Just print them on cardstock (or just on plain paper if you want to distribute them by hand) and cut them into 1/4ths:

English

Spanish

Korean


Thanks for reading this, and thanks for spreading the Word!

I hope you won't get upset because I say this, but I don't think your tract works. All you need to do to realize this is to read the tract while having a non-Christian mentality.

First of all, the reader might think they're Christian, when they aren't, and could get offended if you tell them "We thought you might like to know how to become a Born Again Christian". They'll just think "I've been a Christian all my life, and I don't want anyone to tell me I'm not."

Second, the quoted verses from Romans 10 end in "you will be saved". "Saved from what?" is what the non-Christian asks himself. "And why do I need Jesus when I can get to Heaven on my own. I'm a good person, after all."

Third, you tell them to pray this prayer and everything will be okay because you'll become a Christian. There's much more to becoming a Christian than praying a short sinner's prayer.

Your tract most likely be thrown away as garbage or only create false converts, because they were never told why they need Jesus in the first place.

You need make them realize they have broken God's law, and because of His holy standard, God cannot allow them to go to Heaven. Go with them through the commandments, so they understand that they're liars, blasphemers, thieves, adulterers at heart, tell them they'll have to face God on Judgment Day and since God is a just judge, He will have to punish sin.

James 4:6 says "But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." That's what you have to do, too. Keep giving them the law, until they have nothing to stand on.

So when they stop justifying themselves, saying things like "There are other people far more evil than I am, who make me look like a saint", then it is time to give them the message of grace, the Gospel. Tell them of John 3:16, and explain it to them. Tell them how Jesus paid for their transgressions, and how He now wants to give them the gift of eternal life for free. Tell them they need to repent of their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation.

I hope you'll take into consideration what I said. If you really love the people you're sending those tracts to, you need to make sure they understand why they need Jesus, what He did for them, and how they might receive His gift.

anybody have any ideas that would be effective on a business card? I thought about making some up and handing them out. Not much room on a business card.

I tend to agree with Andrei. However, having said that, I pray that the Holy Spirit would take whatever efforts mjsk is making to lead people to our Savior and bless them. May mjsk lead many into the Kingdom ... all to the glory of God!!!

Amen. Something is better than nothing and hopefully some will see the light.
I want something small but powerful to put on business cards......ideas?
