00:00:00.480 It's been said that the best ideas solve big problems, and the church has a big problem.
00:00:07.860 While many Christians mention the Bible and even talk about Jesus,
00:00:11.880 current statistics say that only 10% of Christians actually share a full gospel presentation.
00:00:18.220 But interestingly, if you went to your local church with, say, 300 people,
00:00:22.100 and said, who wants to share the gospel? Almost 300 hands would raise in the air.
00:00:26.840 So why are 300 people saying yes, but only 30 people actually following through?
00:00:33.080 What's stopping 90% of Christians from sharing the good news of Jesus Christ?
00:00:38.560 In our research, we found three primary reasons.
00:00:42.520 Number one, people fear rejection.
00:00:45.900 Number two, people doubt their ability to accurately present the gospel.
00:00:51.020 And number three, people worry they won't have answers to tough follow-up questions.
00:00:55.200 fear, doubt, and worry. So we set out to solve this big problem, to make a way for any Christian 0.98
00:01:04.260 to share the gospel with anyone, anywhere. Meet Mail the Gospel. We're a non-profit online ministry
00:01:14.680 that allows anyone to mail a beautifully designed and theologically accurate book-style gospel
00:01:20.340 tract to anyone in the world.
00:01:24.520 Not only can these tracts be sent anonymously or personalized, but they can also be read
00:01:29.120 in just 8 to 12 minutes.
00:01:31.560 Simply go to mailthegospel.org, enter your information, select the gospel tract you would
00:01:36.420 like to mail, enter the recipient's mailing address, decide if you want to add a Bible
00:01:42.980 to your order, and hit mail the gospel.
00:01:46.060 But this is only the beginning.
00:01:48.000 In the back of each tract, recipients will find a QR code where they can be taken back
00:01:52.200 to our website to get connected to a pastor, get a Bible, read answers to common questions,
00:01:57.960 and use our church locator to find a doctrinally sound church in their area.
00:02:02.480 Our aim, it isn't to replace evangelism, it's to nurture it.
