Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Our body language speaks volumes before we have said a word. If we pass out a tract to an LGBTQ person with a look of disgust on our face, it speaks volumes. Even though we are offering a way out of a sinful lifestyle, our body language will push them away.

How do we correct that body language? Pray for them and see them differently: as precious souls Jesus died to save—as people in desperate need of hope and salvation.

Here in Southern California, a good number of the servers in restaurants and fast food are clearly LGBTQ. I treat them no differently from anyone else. They get the same tip. And I do my best to get a tract in their hands. It’s amazing what a good tip, a smile, and a compliment for good service will do to encourage them to take the tract!

Their clothes, makeup, and attitude often mask an inner struggle. Many in the LGBTQ community are even contemplating suicide. But God sees through it all. These people are often longing for answers to their questions about identity, and you have those answers in your pocket!

If they take the tract, it’s a win. They will most likely read it. I have gotten bolder lately. If I see someone I’ve given a tract to before, I ask them if they read the last tract. If they haven’t, or only partly read it, I hand them another and tell them: “Now you can finish it!” I had three tracts in my hand the other day and I asked the server, “Are there any that you haven’t read?” She said, “I haven’t read any of them!” I handed her all three, and she acted like she’d just won a prize!

God bless you as you kindly get out gospel tracts. It may be their ticket to eternal life.

In Christ Jesus, and for His service, David Daniels
