Somewhere else to leave your Gospel tracts...

While walking around a supermarket near my new home in Eastleigh, Hampshire, I was trying to think of new places to leave tracts. I have recently realised I need to hand out more / place more somehow. Casting my mind back to ideas i have read in the past, few take advantage of the vast area of supermarket shelving. Then I realised a great place to put them. Along with the toilets and books, a good place to put them is between cans of multipack items. These can range from baked beans to cans of beer. look out for these because if you fold your tract up and push it inbetween the cans, it won't leave the product until the cans are seperated by the customer when they get home.

Can I encourage you to re-visit the list of where to leave tracts, because I am sure you won't remember them all.

Here is the list again, with the above addition. Why not Print it off and stick it on your fridge!

adapted from: Powerful Ways to Use Gospel Tracts

1. It is currently NOT against the law to hand out Christian literature on public property here is the law for the UK. Please enquire about any other laws that may prohibit distribution on private property. For example, in Coventry, most of the town centre is private property so permission must be sought from the council.
2. Always ask God to use you, seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit for each tract placed, and then pray for the Lord of harvest to bless it.
