I am holding a poster of "The Bridge,

from The Friends of Israel (75 years and a good org overall), which is powerful picture, though the one i was wearing was faded.

and offering Fellowship tract League gospel tracts at a Freedom Rally for the legalization of pot. Back then most any event would see one or two of us graciously literally holding forth the word of life (we were even in the middle of the 94 Woodstock ["mudstock"] festival reunion in NY by God's design). For me its mainly the Internet and locals for now, but i can assure you that God is in the "tract" ministry, even though it can make you identify with the situation of Ezek. 3:4-10 (this is NOT the Bible belt), and helps to do as 33:8 states but you have far more conversations than without them, as a tract offers you the opportunity to explain it (as in Acts 8:27-35) especially among young people. However, you do have aberrant types out there also.

I am only wearing one hat, and it likely says "Jesus is Lord." Years previous we did just shirt and tie evangelism, knocking doors as part of a Baptist church, but as the Lord placed us more in marketplace (sometimes literally) evangelism, there was a need to be more conspicuous in the sense of placing Christ and eternity before souls and calling them see the choice they must make.

My paternal Grandfather died standing on a street corner in Oakland, handing out tracts, as he had done every day of his retired life.

He had founded the first six pentecostal churches in the East Bay Area in his younger days.
