I would have trouble writing a hand-out-to-random-people tract too. I can write a summary of the gospel or write out my testimony with supporting Scripture quotations, but a tract would be harder for me. I live in a small town too, where everybody knows everybody. Sharing the gospel is easy in my li'l town where most everyone has heard it from at least a dozen people. Yet we have many non-Christian cults in town that borrow Jesus' name for their own agenda (JWs and RCs), but there's a church on just about every block of this town. Amazing that a little town like ours can even support that many churches!
