Cactus Game Design Message Boards

Is there a way where Redemption can print up “Gospel Tracts” on Redemption cards. Something that we can sow as a seed to people. For example I play at secular hobby shops to be a light & witness to unsaved people. A lot of them play Occultic games like MTG, D&D, YuGiOh, and so on. It would be great to sow a “Redemption” gospel tract to them. Or something to leave around at those stores, where someone could pick it up and be convicted by the message and maybe fellowship with the Christian that sowed it. Because ultimately that could lead someone to Salvation, praise God.

I was thinking to use the Son of God card because it “speaks”. “Redeem one Lost Soul”. That would really convict someone who’s going through a lot. They need to understand what “Redemption” truly means and how much it’ll eternally bless them if they make the decision to dedicate their live to our Heavenly Father. That it’s more than just a game, it’s a destination. With that said, us as Christians could be the very thing those unsaved folks need. Someone that could guide them to “Redemption”, someone that can fellowship with them and help them come up to a Christian Walk. We’re called to be Ambassadors for Christ right? Well, here is something that’s completely logical and do-able. Cactus already has a fan base and materials to produce something like this. You reap what you sow right? Wouldn’t some of you want larger playgroups but more importantly to expand the Kingdom of God with your future brothers & sisters in the Lord?

Perhaps even have some blank lines at the bottom where we could put our contact info. So both at the same time lead people to Christ but also give them a chance to connect with a Christian. Or even, possibility it can be used to promote tournaments. Kind of like your “Kingdom Card”, not business card because we’re not selling anything but selling out- for God. Perhaps have a John 3:16 verse because it’s so well known across the globe and history. However the box for scripture may need to be left blank so there is space for a small message in the picture then contact info at the bottom where the scripture would go. This way we could walk up to unsaved person and be like: “I thought about you enough today to give this to you. It seems right for you to have this. By the way, God loves you and be blessed.

Just imagine a Redemption Card instead.

I think you are the best track. I'm sure those are fine, and way better than the "More harm than good Ministries" ones I've seen! But, our relationships with people have a larger effect than we realize. Far more than getting the right literature to them. This I firmly believe. That said, they are fine tools and anything Cactus would produce to this end would have their coolness all over it.

I agree completely, Not that I am opposed to tracts but MANY of them do ALOT more harm than good (See the money tracts) so I don't use them myself, I rather have people wonder why I'm happy when others aren't, etc.

The money ones are the worst offenders. What about getting peoples' hopes up and then saying "oops, it's propaganda not money!" screams "enticing" to you?

Call me a n00b, but what is a tract?

BB, it's propraganda with Jesus slapped on the front.

It (used) to be the romans road in tiny book form, nowadays its anything that can spread the gospel.

This explains it pretty well, thanks.

I wonder if anyone ACTUALLY converted to Christianity because they picked up a tract.

probly depends if they got one of those he showed if the person in question got a gospel hour booklet they had a better chance than those lameo things.

Slavery isn't immoral. Bad example.

You get the point. 

Slavery isn't immoral.

I think that perhaps you were confused here.  Slavery (at least in the sense that it happened in America) was definitely immoral.  People are children of God, not property.

Perhaps a better word would be....servanthood.

My brother did, seriously. Eventually, you have to talk to a person, but that's what giot the ball rolling. So, I'm not opposed to them

                     

c) Tracts with anything to do with hell or eternal punishment on the front. There's a difference between telling the truth and scaring people to Jesus. And even if scaring people to Jesus was a good tactic, most non-Christians either laugh at or get really annoyed by things with a primary focus of hell. I once saw a tract that said that if you don't follow Jesus, you'll i love you, where it is "thousands of degrees hot!!" Yikes.

You my good sir do not know that if you DON'T use that kind of tract you won't win any souls.
