Teen Missions International sends out thousands of Wordless Books and Bracelets to countries all over the world each year. These books are used to bridge the language barrier that would otherwise hinder the preaching of the Gospel message. You can help to change a life with the Good News of Jesus Christ by building these evangelistic tools today!
What is a Wordless Book?
The Wordless Book is a tool to help you share the Good News of Jesus Christ! Famous London preacher Charles Spurgeon was first known to use it in a message to hundreds of orphans in 1866.
Why is it useful?
Many individuals learn through what they see. A visual example gives the person a reference for the information they are hearing. The different colors in the Wordless Book can help you remember what to say when sharing the steps to receiving Christ.
Where can it be used?
The Wordless Book can be used anywhere. Its size allows it to be easily transported. It is inexpensive, so it can be left behind. It is a gift that will remind your listeners of the Gospel truth.
When is the right time to present it?
The Wordless Book can be used in many different circumstances. Large groups, small groups, and one-on-one situations are just a few examples of its usefulness.
Who is best reached by this gospel tool?
Although you might assume the Wordless Book is designed primarily for children, adults can also be effectively reached by it. Never underestimate the capacity of your audience to enjoy something new and different.
Enjoy fun and fellowship as your small group makes these evangelism tools as a missions project—great for your missions class, women’s fellowship, or youth group!
