Instead of just giving a financial blessing to those that serve you (waiters. car wash attendants, etc) here’s an easy way to also share the greatest blessing of all!

I would love to put a tract in your hands that makes it easy to share Christ with anyone and everyone you meet.  One day in prayer, God gave me the title for a simple tract, “We Didn’t Meet By Accident”, that could easily be shared with everyone we meet – many that we may never see again -and give to them the most important message we can.  I sincerely believe that you and I don’t meet anyone by accident, our steps are ordered of the Lord!

For the past year my beautiful wife Jeri and I have been amazed at how easy it is to share this simple, non threatening, surprisingly well received message with almost everyone we meet.  “We Didn’t Meet By Accident” is a great ice breaker.  Almost all people of all walks of life have a belief that things don’t happen by accident, that people don’t meet by accident, etc.  As a result by sharing this simple tract with Uber drivers, waiters and waitresses, store owners, people that we meet every day — we have seen many disarmed, open up, ask for prayer, receive Christ or at least have a seed sown to begin to consider (or reconsider) God’s great plan of forgiveness and eternal life for them and their family, etc.

There are several ways I would be happy for you to use this message…

One, feel free to take the idea – even improve upon it – and print your own tracts using any or all of the ideas in our tract. We print copies at Kinko’s, on our home computer/printer, etc… I could email you a PDF of the tract laid out for printing that would make it easier for you to print your own. My email is gregmauro1159@gmail.com.

Second, if it would make it easier I would be happy to send you as many already printed as you can use whether or not you can make a contribution.  Just email me at gregmauro1159@gmail.com. I could also customize the message at the end to include your personal, church or ministry contact information if you would like.

Following is the copy in our tract, that we print 2-up on regular 8 1/2 x 11 paper:

This is the cover to the tract that we print 2-up and 2-sided on 8 1/2 x 11 paper — we use a canary color — but just regular white paper is fine as well! (We print at Kinkos or even on our home computer/printer)

Then inside page 1:

I don’t believe we met by accident! This short note is God’s small way to remind you that no matter what you are going through right now He is on your side, He loves you and has a great plan for your life and for your future!

There is a great verse in the Bible in 2 Samuel 14:14:

“All of us must die eventually. Our lives are like water spilled out on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God does not just sweep life away: instead, He devises ways to bring us (you and me) back when we (you and me) have been separated from Him.”

Friend when you or I find ourselves separated or away from God, His word promises that He doesn’t devise revenge, instead He devises ways to bring us back to Him!

Jeremiah 29:11 says it this way: “For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen.”

I have discovered that the greatest faith in all the world is not the faith that you or I have in God, but it is the faith God has in you!

Then inside page 2:

Though our sin separates us from a perfect, sinless God, a loving God devised the ultimate way 2,000 years ago to save you and me from judgement and bring us back to Him and to His great plan of good and blessing for our lives…

That is why God himself came to the earth as a man through Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for every sin you and I would ever commit…

2 Corinthians 5:21 says: ”For He made Him (Jesus) who know no sin to be made sin for us, that we (you and me) might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” So now when you and I turn from our failures and invite Jesus Christ into our lives, God no longer sees your sin, He sees the righteousness of Jesus Christ! Right standing with God is not earned, it is His gift to you!

God is 100% fully invested in you! Today, your comeback and my comeback begins with eight simple words, “I have sinned and I need a Savior.”

This simple prayer changed my life, and it can change yours:

“Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. Forgive me and come into my life. Thank you for living inside of me and giving me a new beginning today. With Your help I will follow You all the days of my life! In Jesus Name, Amen!”

Then on the final page: (you could change the closing sentence with your church information, email address, or leave as is if you prefer)

Friend, if you prayed that prayer, something great has begun for you!

John 1:12 says: “But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God”

Revelation 3:20 says: “Look! I (Jesus) stand at the door (of your heart) and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in…”

And 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new!”

This is your day for a new beginning! As you have opened your heart, Jesus will walk with you and talk with you. As you pray, read His word and go to a church where the Bible is preached, expect to see answers to your prayer and hear Him speak to you through His word.

Call 1-866-756-4200 or email gregmauro1159@gmail.com for additional prayer anytime.  We didn’t meet by accident!

I don’t believe you read this by accident – it’s a great feeling to have a message like “We Didn’t Meet By Accident” in your pocket, purse, wallet, etc – to share with those you meet, and fulfill the great commission of our Lord before He returns!  It would be an honor for Jeri and I to help get some to you!

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that wins souls is wise!” (Prov 11:30)

“I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over 99 righteous persons that need no repentance” (Luke 15:7)

“He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him” (Psalms 126:6)
