Lutheran Tract Mission (LTM) is a ministry of love and abundance. People come into the LLL’s North Adelaide office in South Australia to browse through the display and marvel at how many titles there are for most every occasion possible. From chaplains/pastors working in aged care, congregations, hospitals, or prisons, to teachers and children in schools or friends caring for friends or to sharing joy at a baptism, birth or just friendship. LTM has something for all.
LTM received beautiful feedback from congregations and from individuals; those who have been witnessed to and have opened their hearts to God. Terri, an inmate in Adelaide Women’s Prison was moved when receiving a tract accompanied by homemade biscuits from a South Australian congregation member. She thanked LTM for the tract expressing how the message spoke to her. The love given in this little gift can encourage us to reach out wider with these little messages of care.
Recently, we received a message from Gayla, who works in one of our Christian bookshops, she said, “We appreciate very much the delightful bookmarks you supply, which help us share God’s wonderful love with people of all ages. Covid-19 brought with it stress for many families, and we like to reassure our customers that God is there through the good and not-so-good times.”
Over 300,000 tracts per year are being used for ministry, with LTM holding about 950 different titles across 46 different categories. Our resources are constantly being renewed and developed throughout the year. This year LTM introduced pop-up cards, new stickers, fridge magnets, children’s chatterboxes for Christmas and Easter, a new stand-up nativity for this Christmas, as well as our regular tracts.
It is so wonderful to hear of the blessings that people receive through LTM. Lois, aged 90, shared that she loved the Advent and Lenten devotionals and being able to share them with her family: “Families are God-given gifts.”
God has blessed LTM with being able to provide for others in their witnessing and love to others. Pick up a tract today and share God’s love!
