The Catholic Church was Built on Forgeries

For centuries, monarchs, presidents, and world leaders have made pilgrimages to the Pope, seeking his blessing over their reigns. But why does the Pope wield such immense power? Where did this authority come from?

I got saved by a chick track. I read it. I got on my knees and asked Jesus in my life. I didn't know what I was doing. Several years later, I went to a church. I got in trouble and talked to the pastor told him what I did. He asked me if I was born again and I said “Well, I read a piece of paper. It was a cartoon and I asked Jesus in my life.” He pulled the same tract out of his desk and he said, “This one?”  At that Baptist church, I got baptized.  It was amazing.” - D.B. (Ohio)

Thanks to your faithful giving, huge numbers of Chick tracts continue to go to missionaries worldwide.  Here are a few things happening right now:

A few months ago, we shipped 80,000 Spanish tracts to veteran Missionary Carlos Donate in the Guatemala City area.  He has a network of churches in Guatemala and Honduras that are focused on soul winning.  The people in those churches got so enthused witnessing with Chick tracts that Bro. Donate just wrote “We just completed the distribution of all the tracts you sent to us! They literally flew off the shelf. We have 130 or so churches that helped in this endeavor of faith, and we are getting requests for more. . . Many tracts were likewise distributed to churches in the north-eastern part of Guatemala. These are remote village churches and missions, so getting to them was challenging. We even ruined the motor of the pickup used to transport them high in the mountains, but it was well worth it!”  He also wrote: “As a result, several families were won to Christ, baptized, and are currently attending our church.”

Church members load up on tracts and Bibles.  Time to witness!

To keep feeding these motivated groups of believers, he has asked for one million Chick tracts.  Our response was “It’s been our experience that the Lord will fund the need, so let’s go for it!”

Within 48 hours, we received notice that a believer was stepping up and would finance the entire project!  God is so faithful!

Missionary Paul Buskager led a team for outreach in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico.  He writes, “We had over 900 people attend evangelistic meetings. Over 100 cards were filled out by adults who accepted Christ for future follow up by the churches. There were many children who also accepted Christ. We were also at a missions conference in Mexicali, Mexico with over 40 pastors. Each pastor was able to receive tracts and were so thankful. The plan is to continue with another trip over in Mexicali, Mexico. The pastors from Mexicali that were at the conference are pretty excited about seeing the city of Mexicali saturated by the word of God. We are planning on March 21 - 31 to distribute the tracts to this city of over 2,000,000 people in need of the Lord. Thank you for your generous gift.”

Buskager has asked for 210,000 Chick tracts for the crusade in Mexicali.

Kids got tracts and the Gospel, too!

New need:  Missionary Lacy Wheeler, in Irapuato, Mexico needs another 400,000 Chick tracts for the churches in Mexico.  This is a brand new project that needs funding.  We are working out the details now.

Missionary Noel Shrivnauth shares this photo of a boy in Guyana reading a Chick tract.  He accepted Christ!  Shrivnauth is making plans that will need more tracts!

We are in the process of printing 1.3 million Chick tracts for many ministries in the Philippines.  Several of them are veteran missionaries who have built teams of workers anxious to reach their nation for Christ.  Some of them have amazing ministries.  One of them, Layne Jones, reports “we now have 21 churches started, a Bible college, and a 24 hr FM radio station.”  They are waiting for tracts from this container.  This project is not yet fully funded.

They will take these tracts home to their families

This Filipino woman has a prize!

Missionary Ken Seremak went to new Guinea in 2021, working alongside Missionary Eric Fair.  He writes, “We have been blessed to start a Bible Institute here in the third largest city in PNG, Mount Hagen. Preachers and pastors from all over our province and the neighboring 3 provinces come weekly to get academic and practical training (many men travel 4 to 8 hours one way).... We have about 60 preacher/pastors that we are working within our region. We are trying to help these men by holding tent meetings and various outreach campaigns.

The tracts that you all previously provided have been a great tool for this work, but as you can imagine, they have been going out very quickly. Our stock is low, and I just wanted to reach out to see if you all might be able to help us with some more tracts.”

They need 150,000 more Chick tracts to keep these local pastors supplied.  Funding is also needed for this project.

The shipment of 400,000 Chick tracts for Honduras have arrived there.  Missionary Lacy Wheeler rented a house to store them, and pastors are coming in from churches all over to get supplies for their teams.  Nearly all the tracts have been given out.

There are two projects here.  We just shipped 40,000 tracts to Missionary Eric Fair in Thermi.  He is the missionary who recently moved from Papua New Guinea to start a new work in Greece.

The second project is for Missionaries Emanual and Tereza Negru.  These missionaries come highly recommended as “the best of the best.”  They work out of Athens, taking a group of young people throughout Greece, passing out tracts and preaching in public squares, etc.  They need 50,000 Greek tracts to make an impact.

Missionary Brian Green of Seed for the Cities is going to the Azores (part of Portugal) with a large group of young people for the month of June 2025 to reach seven islands with the Gospel.  They need 50,000 Chick tracts to blanket these islands.  Brian reports that there is a real lack of a good Baptist church here.

We have supplied Missionary E.G. with Chick tracts for years to use in the Tokyo area.  He just reported, “This quarter we have continued to put out thousands of Japanese gospel tracts throughout various neighborhoods of Tokyo. . . I firmly believe that Japan's main issue is a lack of gospel seed planting.  Unfortunately few missionaries actually put out gospel tracts in large numbers in this nation. It is easy to become "too busy" into the internal affairs of the church while neglecting the masses of Japanese who have likely never heard the gospel one time.”

The tracts that we supply him have a website on the back where people get a no-compromise message of salvation.  He writes, “This quarter there were 44 salvation confessions, 22 affirmations of salvation, and 22 very close to salvation.”
