Inspired by Mike Hatfield's post the other day about his tracting adventures, I decided to do the same. The plan was to travel into the city on Saturday and have lots of time to spend at the bookstore and the library. I loaded up on my assortment of tracts and we braved the weather for the 180KM return trip to the city. Well...it started to snow upon our arrival to the city and there was already a foot of snow on the ground to begin with. So...this hampered our plans a little as it meant we couldn't stay as long as originally planned.
So...instead of hitting the bookstore and library, I hit the book department in a large grocery store. My (unsaved) husband dropped me off to do the grocery shopping while he ran a few errands and I RACED through the store to get all the groceries so I'd have time to spend in the book aisle. In stealth mode, I placed appropriate tracts in assortments of books. MDB's in anything related to finances/economy, Celebrity IQ tests in books about famous people, Round Tuits in time management books, Athiest tests in the big Darwin coffee table books, All you ever needed to know about women tracts in finding the perfect mate, Smart cards in educational books, etc. Hubby and daughter arrived on the scene and fortunately, they love the book department so that bought me a bit more time. I made sure I got all the Dali Llama, Ekhart Tolle, Oprah Winfrey and Rick Warren books (I put Santa 50K bills in the Purpose Driven Christmas books. LOL) Actually, I think I tracted EVERY religious book they had on the shelves! Hubby asked what I was doing..."Tracting" I whispered. Shhhh. It was a blast. Of course, I was dodging clerks offering help which I find funny because when I do need assistance, no one is around of course!
Anyways...after I finished, we left and hubby says "What if someone buys a book and then comes back to the store to complain about the tract?". I assured him that it was very unlikely and even if it was, no one would know it was me...and it was not like I was committing a crime anyways. I wasn't stealing or vandalizing...I was giving God's message away for free. I explained that in the end, I'll have to answer to God for everything I do and I didn't think he'd be upset about following the Great Commission. :O) So, I got to witness a little to my hubby at the same time too, without being too blatant (He's sick of hearing about it...so I don't preach to him anymore...I just leave tracts and Ray Comfort's books lying around all over the place.)
You just never know what one little tract might do! Praise the Lord!

About Me
- Katie
- I am a born again Christian (there is no other kind) who is passionate about the gospel. I believe in the basic evangelism principles of "Law to the proud and Grace to the humble". I seek to share the gospel wherever my Lord takes me. I am seeking to connect with others who are eager to share the Law and the Gospel in various places around north Vancouver Island, Way of the Master style. Yes, it is scary...but it is effective. We are commanded to share the good news of the Gospel and if we love God and if we love people, we MUST share our faith in a BIBLICAL manner...just like Jesus did! I thought that because I was heavily involved in my church, attended regularly, tithed, and I BELIEVED in Jesus that I was saved! There is much more to it. I had not repented (turned from) my sin. As soon as I realized that I was a wretched blob of filth, I fell to my knees, repented and put my life in the hands of Jesus. I can feel God's transforming presence daily in my life. I am excited about each day and what new opportunities it may bring. If you are interested in teaming up for some evangelism activities, please email me: shutterkat@gmail.com
