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 ...

Here in Bolivia we remain in quarantine and probably on the 30th of this month the government will start to release the people little by little to work. It has been a difficult day considering that most people do not have money saved in a bank for times of crisis. Most have to work each day to eat. Yesterday I saw a mother crying because for several days she was desperately struggling to get food for her six children and besides the six children there was also an older man who is unable to work and depends on her. Honestly it all cuts the heart of anyone who sees Speaking of evangelism, well, in the early days some brothers insisted on going out to preach, but some were arrested by the police. They had to pay fines of approximately $ 200 to get out of prison. Others have contacted us with their stories of freedom and authority, as the police have tried several times to arrest a Uruguayan missionary who preaches in the streets, but when they approach to arrest him, he rebukes in t...

Our target in Bolivia has been to support evangelists who are constantly taking the Word of God to the entire nation of Bolivia I speak of Bolivia, but the Lord Jesus knows that in my heart the goal is not to reach only the people of God. Peruvian evangelists from various regions are coming to the border region in order to obtain some of the evangelistic material that we deliver free of charge A few days ago the information came to me that some were coming from Lima with the aim of obtaining printed materials and carrying out the work in their regions. This information honestly impacted me. They travel several hours from the Peruvian capital to the border with Bolivia to receive some boxes of literature! Yes, my heart burns to be able to bring the Word of God to the people of Peru too. If we are able to put the materials in the hands of the evangelists they will make the Word of God reach the people in the right way, at the right time and in the right places; nothing like workin...

Those who follow our work on Youtube and other social networks know how much we have to travel to the border region. But why do we travel so much to the border? Well, in addition to documents that I have to act in Brazil, we also received a lot of printed material for evangelism in Brazil. We have had a lot of problems with the Bolivian post and it is less problematic to receive parcels by mail from Brazil Some churches in Brazil also offer bibles to donate and I have to go to the border region to bring them. And how do I do with Aduana? Well, here in Bolivia there is a book law that allows me to enter small quantities. Books should not be for sale and always in small quantities. Usually customs agents look and let us travel I will leave a video below with one of the trips I made to the border region. Unfortunately, I didn’t add an English subtitle. But if you really want me to add a caption, please write yourself saying.

There are many ways you can use the leaflets during evangelism. I recently read that a bookstore that sells evangelistic brochures polled buyers about how they are using the brochures. Well, they selected at least 50 different methods of using printed material for evangelism. That’s really good. Something interesting to note is that the leaflets make important points clear to the recipient. I select a few: 1 – the sinfulness of man 2 – who is Jesus 3 – salvation by grace through faith, separate from works 4 – the guarantee of this free gift of salvation. Miss receiving the written Word of God Bolivia It is useful to use brochures in situations where it is difficult to really speak to a person about the Gospel. We must be aware that in most of our moments passing by people they will not have as much time to listen to you. Something that I have observed in evangelism where we use a megaphone to preach the gospel and at the same time distribute the written Word of God ...

Let’s start with the obvious. Sharing your faith is a daunting task. We live in a culture that is increasingly hostile toward the message of Jesus Christ. And many unbelievers have a very negative perception of Christians who “proselytize”. In our relativistic and pluralistic culture, evangelism is a very unpopular practice. Faced with these obstacles, many Christians prefer to think of evangelism as an optional part of the Christian life. And we are very good at coming up with excuses, aren’t we? I don’t have time to share my faith. I’m not very good at talking to people I don’t know very well. I’m afraid I would get questions I don’t know the answers to. But these excuses are just that – excuses. Biblically, there are two rock-solid truths that answer nearly every excuse that we pull out. Drive these two truths into the hearts and minds of your church family. These truths will ground your church’s mission to reach the lost. God is at work around you. Much of the appreh...

In the Great Commission, Jesus Christ commanded us to, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”  (Mark 16:15) We should actively work to share the gospel with others. Pastors and evangelists play a special role by public preaching, but every Christian shares the responsibility for evangelism. We can share the gospel through one-on-one witnessing conversations, home Bible studies, and many other ways. Today, let’s talk about how to use one helpful witnessing tool—gospel tracts.   1 –  Booklets with the Gospel message Not all gospel tracts are created equal. The best gospel tracts explain man’s sin, the penalty for sin, and Christ’s substitutionary death. Be sure to get tracts that explain the gospel clearly. 2 –  Give out tracts to people you encounter in daily life. You can give them to cashiers, waitresses, doctors, or people at the local coffee shop. You can hand out tracts at public events—fairs, parades, and festiv...
