The Written Word...

Oh, my friends, we are loaded down with countless church activities, while the real work of the Church, that of evangelizing and winning the lost, is almost entirely neglected.
-Oswald J. Smith

For the past two weeks, our family has been passing out tracts. We have started a "Spontaneous Evangelism Team" at our church. We started two weeks ago and will meet once a month. Our first task was to pass out tracts, either to people or to strategically place them in places.

We decided before we had children that we wanted to evangelize as a family and that we wanted our children to see us share Jesus with others as well. Well, we split up in teams and went out! Ben and Andrew hit the local banks, placing tracts in the overnight bank deposits! Tatiana, Diego, and myself went to Wal-Mart and a few other places and placed tracts all over the stores! Another guy from Church was also at Wal-Mart doing the same thing. Ben went later that day to buy a fish tackle box and guess what was in the box!?! A tract that our friend had placed! So, people are getting them! These tracts are getting in places, in homes that we could never get in! Our prayer is that these tracts be a tool God uses to draw the people in our city to Him. Do it, God!

If sinners be darned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for." -Charles Spurgeon
