This group uses a carnival-like spinning wheel with a sign over it, “Spin For Free Candy” (not seen in photo). When they spin, the top pointer will point to a Bible-themed question. All these questions open them up to be engaged in spiritual subjects and the good news of Jesus Christ.\u00a0They get a free candy or bottle of water with any reply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
One of the questions on the spinner is, “What are some of the names of Jesus?” (See left side of spinner in photo.) One evening I received the idea of making a tract addressing that theme. I thought of using the names of Jesus to share the gospel. It went through different designs and name choices, ending up with six names. To illustrate it, I used clip art found online and my own drawings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used Adobe Illustrator to design it as an accordion, fitting three strips down the length of an 17″ x 11″ sheet, printed both sides. See photos below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The six names sweep the course of history: creation, fall, redemption. Jesus was involved in it all. So the names were accompanied by a small amount of text to give context to the name and its place in God’s plan of the ages. I use this tract directly to help people see an exalted Savior.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with the paper version of the tract, I thought it would do well as an online gospel presentation. Since I have some familiarity with building web pages, I built an online version. The Gospel through the Names of Jesus tract is in accordion style, with each of the names in its own panel. The back is a 1-2-3 presentation of believing Christ for eternal life (through John 3:16), prayer for eternal life (with Romans 10:9), and steps of repentance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n So I designed the web pages accordingly (no pun intended), with each of the names on its own page, and the 1-2-3 steps on their own pages. The 10 panels fit neatly on a mobile screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see the final web format here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.stevehusting.com\/gospel<\/a>\u00a0(or by clicking on The Gospel link at top, then on the “visual presentation” link).\u00a0Please share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since it’s in html, I added a bit more functionality, such as a few drop-downs that explain key terms in the passage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been going to the local pier to join several others for one-on-one evangelism. It’s a popular spot, especially on Friday evenings.
