How to Make Gospel Tracks

Tracts present lots of scripture for people to consider.

An efficient way of explaining the message of the Christian gospel is through tracts. These are small pieces of paper that succinctly explain the major elements involved in salvation, its effects and the process through which someone becomes saved. Though tracts are frowned on in some denominational circles, they are still considered by many to be a viable means of explaining the meaning of the gospel to unbelievers. Tracts usually describe the multi-step process of realizing one's relationship with God and responding to it.

Instructions

1. Define the steps of salvation you want to present to your audience. Many people categorize these steps in different ways--some through alphabetical steps, some through the "Roman Road." Others prefer to talk about the "Four Spiritual Laws." However you choose to describe the path to salvation, just be sure that it is easily understandable. It does no good to have tracts that are too wordy, intellectual or contain too much theological jargon.

2. Print the steps to salvation that you have chosen on durable card-stock paper. Make sure that the final product is small enough to fit comfortably into someone's pocket. Any larger and it becomes awkward and clumsy to carry around. Including pictures is a good idea for distribution to illiterate or cross-cultural groups where written language would otherwise be a barrier.

3. Fold the tract so that the final product is small enough to fit comfortably into someone's pocket. Any larger and it becomes awkward and clumsy to carry around. Check to ensure that the ink hasn't smeared and that all the print is legible. You may want to attach a perforated contact sheet at the end of the tract for people to detach and mail to your local church if they have more questions or would like to begin worshiping with you.
