It doesn't have to be face to face evangelism

I think the title says it all.  I'm an extrovert, I will walk up to anyone.  Not everyone is, that's fine.  God made us all different.  

But there are some fun things you can do for evangelism:  

1.  If you hand out candy for Halloween get children's tracts or "The Way to God" booklet from World Missionary Press (free for the asking).  Put the candy in a sandwich ziplock with the tract or booklet.  You want a zip top bag.  I have done that for almost 20 years and I have never had an issue with a recipient objecting to Jesus.  I would suggest a generous amount of good candy.  

2.  The current mailman doesn't want it, but you can put treats (peanut butter crackers, things that won't melt in the heat, granola bars, a bottle of water, etc) in the mailbox.  I was doing bags of heat safe candy.  The current guy doesn't want it.  So I respect that.  

3.  I have a chair by my front door, with bags of done up candy with tracts, New Testaments in bags of candy, etc., various languages (thanks to World Missionary Press again) in a box labeled "Thank you!  Help Yourself!" The UPS guy took a bag of candy last week, someone took a New Testament one night.  Good!  Very easy and no face to face contact.  

4.  If you use a manned checkout at the grocery store, ask the cashier their favorite candy bar, buy it, and give it to them.  And/or buy a cold bottle of water and do that.  

5.  You can always fund awesome ministries like World Missionary Press, Samaritian's Purse, etc.  Just be careful it does have a Biblical ministry, a lot have gone off track.  

6.  Vital, vital, vital!  Prayer for evangelists, their recipients, the people who produce and ship the Gospel material.
