Little is Much

This past Saturday we went to Londonderry city centre to hand out tracts. There were ten of us - six adults and four children. It is the social event of the week for these four eager youngsters. I do believe that it is one of their favourite things to do!

Many times in my life I have been involved in door to door visitation and putting tracts through doors, as well as invitations to special services. However, never before in my life have I been as aware of how much a simple tract could impact many lives.

While Mark was not saved because of a tract, he grew in the Lord and became an independent Baptist because of one.

Mark had been saved for several years, but had not found a good church. He had reached a point in his life where he wanted to grow and was reading his Bible and asking the Lord to lead him to a church that could be a family to him. Not long after, several men from Bethel Baptist Church were out and just 'happened' to put a tract into his mail slot. When he returned home from work he rang the number, went to the Friday night men's meeting, and ten years later is the pastor of that very church.

I will always be thankful that those men did not get weary of putting thousands of tracts through doors and getting few or no responses. It has so reminded me of how important it is for us to be faithful and obey the Lord no matter how small the work seems.
