Peter told the other disciples in Acts 1:22 that they needed to find someone to replace Judas to “become a witness with us of His resurrection.” Note how he emphasized the resurrection as what they needed to be witnesses of. We must be witnesses of His resurrection too. If Jesus hadn’t risen, His death would have been pointless!
The past couple of days we have been busy pulling together a Resurrection tract to pass out this weekend. It has been a really enjoyable process! The Lord has given so much awesome evidence. As I’ve looked at various books and websites to glean info for this tract I’ve become increasingly grateful for all the men of God who have labored so hard to provide answers in defense of the faith. I especially enjoyed Josh and Sean McDowells book, Evidence for the Resurrection .
CLICK HERE for the tract. Please consider printing some and passing them out in your area too! They are easy to print off–just print one side and then flip the paper over and print the other side. Then cut in half and fold in thirds.
Here’s an Idea:
Make breads or cookies for your neighbors and wrap in a spring-colored Saran wrap. Then attach the tract and pass them out to all your neighbors. If you have a younger brother or sister, take them with you! Everyone is open to receive something on a holiday.
Also Note:
For 4 page free download on Evidence for the Resurrection by Josh McDowell, click here. This is also an excellent resource to pass out!
Announcement for those in the Cedar Rapids Area:
If you haven’t already heard, we are planning a “resurrection witnessing outreach” this Saturday, April 3rd. Many people around here are pretty fired up about evangelism after just hearing Mark Cahill. In the past few days I’ve heard lots of witnessing stories. 🙂 So for those who can make it, we will meet this Saturday at 1pm at my church, (Cedar Rapids Bible Chapel, 3412 Oakland Rd NE Cedar Rapids) and then we’ll divide into groups and go to various parks and malls. We’ll try to pair those who are less comfortable with those who have had more experience and we will provide some “Resurrection Surveys” to use to help with initiating conversations. At 5pm we’ll come back to the church for a time of pizza and sharing. Should be an exciting day!
Hi Grace!
I’m from Singapore and have been enjoying reading the posts of your blog. 🙂 The tract is great! May more seeds be planted in the hearts of the unreached.
God Bless,
Natalie
Oh I can’t wait to print some of these off! I had been praying that writing it would go well for you all : )

Great job on the tract, Grace! I’ll be printing some off as soon as I get home. Thanks for all the hard work you put into them! 🙂
Hello Grace!
I’ll be praying for witnessing on Saturday. I hope lots of people realize their need for salvation and stop believing bad doctrine that many people try to spread this time of year.
Looks like an awesome tract- great job. Imagine how many people could be affected by this. God bless you!
Miss ya’ll

PS: maybe we should start planning a Bright Lights 2009 leader training reunion… lol.
Thank you so much, Grace! The tract looks *wonderful*! You are such an inspiration…I really appreciate all your great witnessing tips and ideas!
Joyfully in Christ,
~Annie~
I’ll be praying for y’all tomorrow. Wish I could be there….

Hi Grace!
Thanks so much! We were on our way to Tyler, TX and on our drive I challenged my siblings to hand some out to people while we where on our mini trip! It was great!
Love,
Haley
Grace, Thank you for posting this tract!
This is a great idea.
I made 4 plates of cookies and my siblings helped me hand them out to the neighbors with the tracts.
My brother and I also enjoyed reading the download by Josh McDowell.
I would love to see more tracts for different holidays.
I enjoyed reading the St. Patricks Day tract, also, but we did not get a chance to use it (maybe next year;).
Hope you all had a good Easter.
Blessings,
Becca
Thanks for sharing, Grace!
My mom made a bunch of booklets that had the resurrection story straight from the Bible in it and we handed them out on Resurrection Sunday for our extended family lunch.
I wasn’t feeling well so I wasn’t able to be there, though. 🙁
Thanks for the wonderful tract to use!
And the idea of adding treats to it is a great one!

Thank you so much for putting these on your Blog! I’m going to take some to my martil arts demo tomorrow.
Thanks again.
