289.0. "Faith, Prayer & Tract League" by JURAN::SILVA (Memories.....) Thu Oct 14 1993 10:10

	I just saw something in the bathroom that was a little surprising. I
thought I would share it with you as I am not sure about it. It says:


(has a picture of 2 cartoon characters, one handing out Halloween candy and
 the other a kid in a costume)



                  Here's a treat for you and some GOOD NEWS.


(you then open it up and it shows the same 2 people and says:)


                            THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT


        God loves you and wants you to become a member of His family.



                            THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT


   God loves you so much He sent His Son Jesus to rescue you from your sins
 (the things you do and say that displease God).He died on the cross for you
                      and God raised Him from the dead.



                            THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT


         if you love Jesus, you can become a member of God's family.


               If you want to talk to Jesus, here is a prayer:


(the prayer is as follows and is on the back page)


"Jesus, I am sorry for the things I do and say that are wrong. Make me your
child, take care of me and help me from now on to follow you. Amen"


 YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT FOLLOWING JESUS BY TALKING TO SOMEBODY WHO LOVES HIM.


	At the bottom it mentions the Faith, Prayer & Tract League. Anyone know
anything about them? Would they be considered a good source for information or
should one be a little leary of them?

Hi Glen,

I've not heard of the Faith, Prayer & Tract League, but everyone else seems
busy today (like I am, really, but....).  The surprising appearence of the 
notice in the bathroom is probably due more to the zeal of a particular 
individual than to the particular policy of the league (otherwise it would 
be called something like the Faith, Prayer & Tract-On-Bathroom-Walls League ;-)

I guess that whoever put it there might be worth getting to know, and take 
it from there...

My church (Victory Baptist Church) recently received a load of tracts from
this group. I'd say they were a good source. I haven't examined all of the
tracts in our tract rack (but since its right near my ushering post I will)
but I suspect we have a lot from them.  I'd say they were a credible Christian
organization intent on getting out the message of Jesus Christ.
