Tom and Michele Burgee assist with the tract club by mailing out the welcome packs to people who enroll in the club. They were making plans to do an outreach at the St Louis Arch and asked for some assistance in creating a tract. We agreed to help make the tract, send it in the tract club and provide them to them for their outreach at the arch. They are now doing outreaches at the arch about once a month.
If you are going to St Louis and plan to do some Evangelism there, then you may like to order some of the Gateway to the West tracts.
Even though the tract is geared towards being a souvenir for people visiting the arch, I even was able to hand them out around Dallas by just telling people, “here is some interesting information about the St Louis arch.” They would take the tract and say “thanks!”
I asked Tom his memories of creating this tract and he wrote:
Probably the most important reason we wanted them made was it was considerably difficult to hand out Million Dollar bill tracts at the Arch, Brother Eric Corrick came up with the idea. It’s been amazing, nearly everyone takes one (of the arch tracts). We seldom see any laying around (that people dropped, or discarded) and they’re equally popular with the people who go out with us.
