Not every Christian is able to preach a sermon, or teach a Bible class, or sing a Gospel solo, or go to Africa as a missionary, but every Christian is able to sow the "precious seed" by means of the printed page. This can be done by lending evangelical Christian books to those who will promise to read them, or by placing Scripture portions or Gospel tracts in the hands of those who will accept them The object of such ministry is to get people to think, and thereby realize their need and ways of salvation , and then persuade them to receive Him Who alone can save and keep and satisfy. As people read they think, and as they think they believe, and as they believe they act. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." The tract distributor not only receives a blessing in sowing the "precious seed," for God has promised that "he that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him," but he has the promise that God's Word will not return to Him void, and that his "labor is not in vain in the Lord." He may be tempted at times to become discouraged ...
... and stop, but as he remembers the admonition: "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good," he faithfully continues in this ministry—"not weary in well doing

The way to learn how to use Gospel tracts in Christian service is to use them. We learn by experience, which is the best teacher. Evangelism is just another repstable element. If you are not in the habit of engaging in such ministry, begin today. If you have distributed tracts but have grown somewhat neglectful, renew your efforts now and keep at it faithfully. A few suggestions may prove helpful to those who are willing to engage in this printed page ministry. In giving out tracts it is well to keep in mind the occupation of the one to whom you hand it, or any special occasion that commands public attention. For example, at the Christmas season it is well to ask the question, "Why Christmas?" as you offer the tract, for everyone is talking or thinking about Christmas, and thus you arouse a receptive interest. When the Easter season is upon us, ask the question, "Why Easter?" This will cause people to more readily accept the pamphlet offered and be interested enough to read it. When you are in the bakery, ask if they have any of the "Bread of Life," and when they inquire as to what you mean, offer them a tract that tells of the "Gift of Life." When in a restaurant and you are speaking with someone, even though a stranger, you can remark that the food served there is very good, and then add, "But there is one trouble with it." This generally brings forth the inquiry as to what the trouble is, and you reply: "It won't last." Then present a suitable tract and call attention to the food that will last, and if any man eats thereof he will live forever.

Missionaries from Europe and America took Christianity to the ends of the earth and evangelized Africa and Asia. Now, as Christianity declines in the West, churches from the old mission field are the ones defending historic Christianity and are evangelizing Europe and America. Everyone agrees that the point of most Sunday school crafts is to reinforce learning of important messages, scriptures, and lessons for preschoolers, young children, and even teens. Before you begin, make certain that you have a concrete plan of each lesson you would like to lead the group through.Gospel Tracts Once you have this firmly in mind, you’re ready to begin getting more creative. It can be introduced in class new perspective. This is an especially great tactic if you are working with teenagers. However, the process will work with younger groups; you might want to limit choices to smaller numbers to keep it manageable. Create a list of topics and areas of study with workable Sunday school crafts and you’ll soon be on your way to some wonderful ideas.
