Here is a simple outreach card challenges people to think about life after death. This card can be printed quickly and easily on church copiers, digital duplicators, home inkjet, or laser printers. It is designed to be a give-away, a leave anywhere and everywhere, and as an opener for conversation. At the end of this blog is a zip file with an editable text file, editable MS Publisher files, ready-to-print PDFs and hi-res image versions of the cards.

There are two versions of the card:

1) ALL in One: the message is on one side and on the other side you could print contacts from your church or invitations to events to begin a discussion about the truth of life after death and the only person who conquered death: Jesus.

2) Two-sided version: If your church does not have Halloween evangelism events (many churches don't for various reasons), you can still put these on your website and encourage people to print them at home and distribute them. These double-sided cards have both the challenge and websites for people to check out the truth about Jesus.

One of my personal favorite guerrilla gospel-sharing tactics is to make up lots of these at home and then stash them in pumpkins, costumes, restrooms, or wherever I can in the Halloween super-stores or places like Target or Walmart.

You never know how God might use a little card to get someone to check out a website about Jesus.

Below is the text for the card. Below that is a PDF you can click to download and print out.

Text on the front of the card

Halloween, a fun time for tombstones, ghosts, and all things scary. . . . .
We can laugh at death when it’s part of a Halloween spook house, but we don’t laugh
when it touches someone we love or when we must face it—and that’s ahead of us all.
This Halloween, check out the one person in
all of history who conquered death—Jesus.
On the back of this card are resources to help.
Halloween is fun, but it’s also time to consider eternally serious and truly scary questions.

Text on the back of the card

Life is short; eternity is not.You owe it to yourself to carefully research what happens after you die. We believe your choice is between a literal, real heaven or hell—not a Halloween fantasy.
