Let the Little Children Come is a new to me child evangelism company. They have some really engaging, hands-on ways not just to connect with kids, but also to engage them with materials that teach the love of Jesus and the plan of salvation.
Is There Anything Better Than Candy? Box-Tract is this unique three dimensional pumpkin.
These halloween tracts come in a package of 20. When you pull one out, it is flat and printed in full color on both sides. These are perforated (thank goodness!) so that you can just punch them out quickly (and carefully!) and put them together. Instructions are also drawn on the background paper.
When the tract is fully punched out and put together, they form a pumpkin. I suppose pumpkins could be used any time of year, but to me this tract is super appropriate for fall. The outside asks the question, "Is there anything better than candy?" To me, this hints at Halloween. These halloween tracts would be perfect for handing out to local Trick-or-Treaters. They would also be nice to pass out if your church participates in a trunk or treat during the season.
Personally, I plan on giving these to the kids in our church. I think they will enjoy them, and I think the parents will appreciate something being sent home that is meaningful. I will also challenge the students to share one with a friend if they would like to.
The inside of the pumpkin clearly spells out the plan of salvation. Once the pumpkin is fully opened, you can simply read around each one of the pumpkin "petals". They are numbered for ease in following through the entire plan in a logical manner. Each section explains that, yes, there is something much better than candy and that is being God's friend. It explains how much God loves each one of us and wants to be with us. Unfortunately he can't be with us because we have all sinned and that makes God sad. He send Jesus to us from Heaven to die on the cross so our sins can be forgiven. You can be with God forever if you follow three simple steps: admit, believe, invite. The final section includes a simple sinner's prayer for the child to follow.
While these are geared towards children, they really can benefit anyone. Imagine the lives that are touched as parents or grandparents read these with their children!
great pictures to go along with your review, showcased the pumpkins well.
