💡 October 31 – GLOW in the Dark. This year, churches all over the world will unite to distribute tracts on Halloween. It’s one night most everyone is expecting you to knock on their door! During this night where everything seems dark, we have the opportunity to literally GLOW in the Dark. Here are three ways you (or your church) can be involved in GLOW in the Dark: Pass out tracts with your church outreach team, pass out tracts to trick-or-treaters who come to your home or pray for people giving and receiving tracts.
