Daphne, a resident at Glynde Lutheran Homes, has a passion for displaying God's Word in their tract rack situated in their chapel foyer. During renovations, their cafe needed to be shifted into the foyer where the tract rack is. She found that the children's Easter tracts proved popular, with residents taking tracts for their grandchildren. This year, even more were distributed with the cafe near the tract display and she needed to organise several re-supplies.
This is a tremendous way in which the elderly can witness to their grandchildren in a simple, gentle way in providing activities for their grandchildren to be enjoyed.
We hear stories like this when people have used our tracts in ministry. Lutheran Tract Mission is there for the ministry of the Church and the spreading of the Gospel that Jesus has come to all to bring peace and love, comfort and encouragement, grace and forgiveness. It is so needed at this time when being a Christian is so hard. As Christians we are called to share the Good News with all who will listen and then allow the Holy Spirit to do its work.
A focus now for Lutheran Tract Mission is getting tracts into our Lutheran Aged Care facilities and Lutheran schools. As you can read from the above, we welcome being able to help and supply tracts for the elderly. Hospital chaplains and school chaplains are also discovering the resources that we have for children and those in hospital.

Congregations, schools and aged care facilities are also using our free digital spinner on their websites to make these resources available to all their members.
This year, LTM distributed 375,535 tracts to congregations, schools, aged care facilities, chaplains, and individuals, to help them carry out their calling. Christians from other denominations also use our resources for their mission.
We are one of the largest tract missions in the world, with over 1,000 titles in 46 different categories.
Christopher from East Ringwood writes: "Keep up your valuable work spreading the Gospel."
He is one of many customers who express their love of our resources and being able to use them in their ministry.
In Christ,
