Handing out tracts can be a good way to share the Gospel message with people that would otherwise not hear or read it.
Non-Christians are very unlikely to pick up a Bible, open it and search through the Scriptures to find and understand the Gospel message. That is why sometimes a “short and punchy” Gospel tract with a clear Gospel presentation can be effective in grabbing their attention, meeting them where they are and providing a simple clear message in a format they can keep and carry in their pocket or wallet.
Gospel tracts are available from most Australian Christian bookstores like WORD and KOORONG, but if you wish to find a broader variety, you are best to search online.

I probably like the million dollar notes the best. They make it easy to start a discussion and almost everyone smiles when they first see them.
I have seen many varieties of them around now. Different ministries are producing their own and even secular businesses are now using them for marketing their products.
I got stopped in a shopping centre recently by one of those sales people promoting their product and they had a fake $50 note
I have to be honest and say that the Smiles tract from http://www.on-tract.com is my favorite. That’s probably because I wrote it.
Side one contains my favorite funny one-liners and side two has a powerful Gospel message told in three stories about a driver, a convict and a skydiver.
The one-liners make it very easy to give away. I give a copy to every person I meet.
I reckon this tract says it all:

I’ve led more people to Christ with the Bridge to Life tract, than any other. It uses Scripture and simple pictures to show people how to take the step of becoming a Christian. Since faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, I think it is very important to have Scripture as the main message of any tract.
