About the Competition

Why We're Doing This

In this era dominated by visual media and creativity, youth demonstrate strong sensitivity and creativity in visual design and written expression. Through hosting the “Gospel Tract Design Competition,” we aim to:
01

Spark students’ interest in evangelism and cultivate a heart that responds creatively to the Great Commission.

02

Strengthen students’ identification with and motivation for distributing gospel tracts and engaging in real-life evangelism.

03

Understand how contemporary youth perceive, interpret, and express the gospel message, and explore ways to present the gospel that better resonate with the younger generation.

04

Encourage students to integrate faith with art, design, and writing, putting faith into everyday practice.

Sample Gospel Tract Wording

In the beginning, God—the Creator of the universe, created and blessed mankind. But our forefathers disobeyed and sinned against Him. As a result, sin entered the world, and all humans were separated from God. We will face God’s judgement after death and be perished eternally. But God loved us so much that He gave us His only begotten son Jesus Christ and died on the cross for the price of our sins. He then rose again on the third day, proving that He is the living God who has the power over sin and death. Now, if we confess our sins and receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and the Lord of our lives, He will forgive our sins and our relationship with God will be restored. He will call us his children. The Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9) Whoever trusts in Him will receive an abundant life filled with blessings, joy, love, peace, and eternal life.

If you would like to accept Jesus as your Savior, say the prayer in the following:

Dear God,

Creator of the universe, thank you for coming into the world as Jesus to save me. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day, completing the salvation that brings forgiveness of sins. I truthfully confess and repent of my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. Thank you for giving me eternal life and the right to become Your child. I sincerely invite Jesus Christ to come into my heart to be my Lord and Savior.

I pray this with all my heart, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
