“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
— Matthew 28:18-20
Our Vision
The Vision of this Evangelism Challenge is to join Jesus in His harvest fields. We are focusing on four aspects:
- • First, to personally reach others with the Gospel through tracts and loving interactions that bring them to salvation.
• Second, to pray, both for souls to be saved and for more laborers to enter the harvest.
• Third, to encourage and train new laborers in effective evangelism.
• Fourth, to grow in our own walk with Jesus as we witness for Him. When we share Christ, we grow in our faith and are motivated to follow Him closely. Sharing Christ with others is a necessary part of being His disciple.
For the 2026 Evangelism Challenge our goal is, Lord-willing, to get the truth of the Gospel into the hands and hearts of at least 30,000 people before the end of the year!
Let us redeem the time, looking unto Jesus, living for what really matters, investing and laying up treasures in heaven, and not wasting a moment of this short life that God has given each of us for His glory! We must not let the opportunities that God has given us to shine for Him—by example or by words—pass without action!
The Heart of the Challenge
The “heart” of this Challenge is to point people to Jesus! It is His desire for “… all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4)
It is so easy to not share the Good News—maybe due to fear of rejection, a lack of confidence, or not knowing how to get started—but God can use anyone who is willing to obey and follow Him by faith. God’s Word is powerful and He is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” (Ephesians 3:20).
But He cannot use our inaction. Let us boldly proclaim the Good News of salvation to whomever we can! It has been said, “If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time.” Our goal with The Evangelism Challenge 2026 is to personally give a Gospel tract to at least 30,000 individuals! Children and adults do this wherever they live, work, play, and go, whether as individuals or alongside others.
Have you been saved from eternal punishment and forgiven through the precious blood of Christ our Savior? Have you been given life more abundantly, a close relationship with the Lord Jesus—the best and closest Friend one could ever have? Do you know the experience of a loving, caring, guiding, protecting, almighty, merciful Father? He has done (and continues to do) so much for us! Did someone share the Gospel with you? Will you join us in sharing the Good News with the lost people around us?
He does the saving—you cannot fail by sharing His perfect and powerful Word!
Why Join the Evangelism Challenge 2026?
The Evangelism Challenge 2026 provides three things for you:
● A simple means of introducing Jesus to people. If you’re not used to initiating a conversation, a good way to practice is by handing a tract to someone. Besides, they will have it to read and reread. Then, they can use it to share the Gospel with someone else! Plus, God can use your step of faith to open the door for a longer conversation in which you do personally present the Gospel.
● A structured means of accountability. We are doing exactly what God did when He sent Jesus, our Emmanuel (or “God with us”) to a sinful world, to personally introduce Himself to us! This Challenge provides a context in which to do just that, coupled with the motivation and accountability of a set goal, a deadline, and a bunch of fellow believers simultaneously working together!
● Personal growth. For some of you, participating in this Challenge might mean stepping out of your comfort zone to share the Gospel. For others, it will mean learning to hear God’s voice better. And for others, it could mean trusting God to open doors or to give you the words to speak.
Remember that Jesus’ love for you is unconditional, and He does not love you any more or any less depending on what you do. By joining us in this year’s Challenge, you are taking a step of faith! Prayer Warriors will be praying for you, and some of the participants will be offering helpful tips and ideas for witnessing. The Evangelism Challenge team will be praying for you and providing training workshops as well.
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” (2 Corinthians 9:6) Every Gospel tract we hand to someone is a Gospel seed being sown! Help plant and harvest! “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Galatians 6:9.)
The First Evangelism Challenge Was EXCEEDED!
In October of 2025, the first Evangelism Challenge was launched, with 32 people participating. In less than three months, the Lord used 32 people to pass out over 3,000 Gospel tracts in states throughout the U.S. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and He does it in and through us! Just think how many can be reached throughout 2026!
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to actually hand the tracts directly to someone?
Yes. For a tract to count for this Challenge, let us be bold and show care, kindness, and the love of our Lord as we hand each tract to someone, as the Holy Spirit leads. You could give a tract as a thank you; after helping someone; or with candy or another small gift.
Do I have to buy the tracts?
That’s your choice. We would be happy to supply you with the tracts you need, including special tracts in conjunction with our nation’s 250th anniversary! But if you have your own that you would like to use, just as long as they clearly share the Gospel, that is fine. {A few ministries whose tracts we use are Living Waters, No Greater Joy, and Moments With The Book.}
Where should I hand out the tracts?
Anywhere! And however the Holy Spirit leads. Some ideas: At grocery stores, special events, or parks; to delivery drivers, co-workers, and neighbors.
Are there any requirements?
Just a love for the Lord and desire to serve Him!
Is there a deadline to register?
No, there is no deadline! You can sign up any time if you would like to join us and help reach the goal before the end of the year!
How often should I report the tracts I've handed out?
Reporting is done on a weekly basis. (If you are part of a Fife & Drum Corps, report your number of tracts to your Fife & Drum Corps leader.)
Where can I report my tracts?
You can report your tracts by logging in and clicking the “Report tracts” button.
(If you are part of a Fife & Drum Corps, report your number of tracts to your Fife & Drum Corps leader.)
