Evangelistic material thrown to the ground

I believe that every evangelist has a heart for delivering evangelistic materials and seeing people retaining the materials. In view of this concern, we seek to obtain the best material for the moment. The material we deliver at an outdoor fair may be quite different from material we use in hospitals or the office.

The message that transforms is one: The Gospel. Now, the way we get this message out to the people is that we can say that there are many ways. And when we work with printed materials we must think about this detail.

I had a very interesting experience at a fair in Bolivia. I was with my wife, my children and some brothers doing the distribution of the written Word of God. That day we used the materials from União Cristã, a group of brothers from Brazil who printed materials and sent them to us. Well, I realized that the number of leaflets thrown on the floor was out of the ordinary for Bolivia's level.

I looked at our brochure and we distributed a material that was in Spanish and Quechua. Quechua is spoken in central Bolivia. It is clear that the Quechua people are all over Latin America and in Bolivia we also have practically every nation. But we can say that in Bolivia the place of Quechuas is the central region.

What I noticed was that I was handing out the brochures on the side written in Spanish. When I turned the brochure over and started distributing it on the Quechua side, the number of leaflets on the floor was almost zero. It was wonderful to see that.

Not only did the people retain the material, but I noticed that they stopped walking to read our brochure. Some were looking for a place further ahead to sit and read the Word of God.

We use megaphones for evangelism here in Bolivia. I just love to preach on the streets using a megaphone. But something impressive that God has shown me in a special way in the preaching of the gospel is the retention with beginning, middle and end of the message of the gospel through literature.

When I preach with a megaphone, a very small number of people have access to the message with a beginning, middle and end, but when I take the written Word of God to the streets they may have lit the message completely with beginning, middle and end and also they can have the booklet as many times as they want. This is wonderful!

Well, below I will leave a video where I am with my wife Mina Dourado and my children during the gospel. In another opportunity I can speak more about the importance of involving our family in the Work of the Lord, but I will stop here.

The video is in Portuguese, but I have several other languages among them: English, Italian, Czech and others. Just activate the YouTube caption.
