As a Christian, I first used to look at Jack Chick and his tracts with awe! What a cool way to spread the gospel! We never even questioned another man of God in any way, shape, or form. Later, as I matured and began to think for myself..(after praying, of course) I began to find fault with how Jack always dogged the Catholic church. I mean, I was Protestant and we knew that our Catholic brethren were a bit too religious and ceremonial, but to connect the Roman Church with the very center of occultic and world domination was a bit too much! These days, I no longer use tracts in any way, shape, or form. If I am mean't to talk with someone I do so. I prefer spreading the love and truth of God in a relational context by getting to know people rather than saturation bombing the area with a bunch of cartoons and hoping that someone will pick one up and after reading it drop to their knees and surrender to God!
Being shy didn't stop me
"My husband is a minister who does evangelistic work, but I am shy. I am active in my church but I wanted so much to witness to non-Christians...
I have been leaving Chick tracts everywhere! I leave them on shelves in the grocery store and drug stores, on phone booths, on newspaper boxes, in restaurants, in public restrooms, at the doctor's office. I made special trips to the local health department, WIC clinic, homeless health clinic...just to leave tracts. Even the food stamp office and Dept. of Human Services waiting rooms. The public library. Outside the high school in a bad neighborhood. I wrap them in plastic and toss them in driveways! I scan the local section of our paper for people convicted of DUI or other crimes and mail the tracts! If people did this in every town, so many could be reached. Oh yes, I send SOMEBODY LOVES ME to abortion clinics." "A brother was on his bicycle giving out (Chick tracts) and one of the men he gave one to got saved and is now a faithful church worker." PA
I left THE ASSIGNMENT on the lunch table at work this afternoon and tonight one of the guys read it and got saved. Praise God!" IL
