New Tracts - when will they arrive

[MJ1]

Anyone know when we will be getting supplies of the new tracts...just looking at buying a display stand to put them on,

[bvr]

You will likely need to wait for about a year or so. It’s very possible that your congregation won’t receive an allocated number of the new tracts until late 2026. Even then, the supply could be limited, and you might not be able to get one easily over the counter.

 

Still, keep in mind that things can change between now and then, and we may receive them earlier than expected.

[On the huh]

We are getting a supply this week.  Should arrive tomorrow.

now confused...one brother says a year ....another next week???

As soon as they where released we printed them out neatly at actual size, rounded the corners, and posted them up on the literature's display board .... along with the Love People Make Disciples brochure(s) with the three pages from Appendix A - Truths We Love to Teach - on display ..... and with an arrow from each tract to the relevant 'truth', so publishers could see how they where linked, and how they will be able to use both tools together to both continue and have productive conversations using the new tracts, rather than simply handing them out to any and everybody they meet.

The Literature Brothers have been instructed to "ensure that the tracts are evenly distributed so that each publisher receives a supply." (emphasis added)

 

I suspect the (initial) supply of new tracts will be kept under 'lock-and-key' to ensure a fair and even distribution 🤣

[On the huh]

We will be making little "starter packs" of the tracts 10x9 for each publisher, maybe a few more for the pioneers.  

Many publishers are keen to receive them and use them, but most do not realise the purpose of the tracts - that they are designed to start conversations in line with the Appendix A of the brochure.  I can just foresee many simply giving the tracts away and will go through the tracts in no time.  The AM won't be out till Jan/Feb that explains that, so a little explanation might be needed when we get them.

And even though we can order more after this delivery, who knows how long it will be before we get more, as they work hard to send supplies to all congregations.

Which is exactly why we did the display that we did - and the display with the Make Disciples brochure/s we have is also good for using in conversations with publishers about the new tracts 😀

A couple of questions please 🙂

 

Are you getting the same quantity for each of the nine tracts?

 

Approximately how many of each tract are you receiving 'per-publisher' in your congregation?

 

TIA

[TheKid23]

I’ve been printing them out at home and using them already but very excited to get the “official” ones 

[Mike047]

You are very keen, Hannah, I'm sure your new congregation will benefit from your ministry zeal.

That's the problem of asking in an internet forum. It's not like we are an official channel or anything. The friends who are replying know as much as you do. 

Imagine asking a question from all the attendees to a circuit assembly. How many different answers will you receive? Well, there are more members here than attendees at the assembly. 

[Mike047]

Very apt, Carlos, as always

You are in Merseyside, Britain

 

The brother who says he is getting a delivery this week is in East Anglia, Britain

 

The official word from the Britain Branch simply said: "It may take some months before your congregation receives these consignments."

 

Thus for Britain it appears hopeful that congregations will get the tracts over the next month or two.... 😀

 

Other countries/lands may get them months and months later, or even earlier 🤷‍♂️ (though no one on this forum has said they've had them already?)

 

The brother who said 'a year' is in an undisclosed location (likely not Britain?) and actually just covered his bases by saying "You will likely need to wait for about a year or so... things can change between now and then, and we may receive them earlier than expected." 🤷‍♂️

In the USA branch the S-147 announcements form for October 2025 said (point #3):  It may take a year.  Our congregation shows one tract pending since October and another pending since the middle of November.  No other tracts are showing as requested. The announcements stated that we are not to "request" them, just wait for the congregation's "assignment".

@On the huh are you getting all nine? or just one or two of them?

[WestBro]

A few days ago, a brother told me that the brazilian branch is waiting for a specific printer to print these tracts. If any arrive soon, they may have been printed at another branch.

We are due to get all nine tracts in one delivery, an equal number of each tract, and approximately 10 of each tract for each publisher (with no 'extras' for pioneers).

Thanks for the reminder, that's triggered something that @Watching and Waiting said...

After introducing the 9 new tracts based on LPMD, Bro Jackson explained the need for new equipment to print them. He said the very day that the int’l printing dept was asked to find that equipment, they happened to be in Germany.  They were there to attend DRUPA, held only every 4 years. (According to GOOGLE: As the world's number one event for printing technologies, DRUPA stands for inspiration and innovation, world-class knowledge transfer and intensive networking ...) On that very day they saw equipment from all over the world and exactly what was needed.

 

 As evidenced in the thread posts above, it seems that congregation in Britain are going to be taking delivery of the English tracts this week .... and guess what, the Britain Branch literature gets printed at Selters Germany Branch 🤔

 

With the DRUPA event taking place in Germany, perhaps the Selters Germany Branch was the first to take delivery of the new printers, and has been doing an English print run - initially supplying WHQ for the tracts handed out at the AM - and now shipping over to Britain? 🤔 🤔

 

 

[On the huh]

Yes we are getting all 9 as well.  800 of each, that works out about 10 for each publisher.

[On the huh]

They here !

Each bundle appears to have 400 tracts.  The paper feels the same as invitations we had this year, high quality, thicker paper.  Not card like the contact cards.

We printed them all out at 'actual size' both sides of each tract on white paper, rounded the corners , mounted them, each as a pair side-by-side, on to some black card, cut to size for each pair, so they 'popped' out visually.

 

Used three copies of the brochure to show - cover, Appendix A page 1 and 2 - with each placed into a cellophane public witnessing magazine cover.

 

Used 'blu-tack' to stick on to a white board, the brochures in the middle, the tracts placed in a circle around outside, with a thick black (whiteboard) pen used to draw arrows from each tract to the appropriate 'truth'. 🙂

 

We did it so it was ready for our first meeting at the KH following the AM. 😁
