Gospel Tract Society provides the word of God and the Gospel in the form of Gospel tracts that can easily be given to anyone. Through this ministry, many have come to know of the love and grace of Jesus. The ministry was founded in 1926 by Lester Buttram, whose family still runs the ministry to this day. Lester had a vision to take the gospel to the corners of the earth using printing technology. Through a series of providential events, the Gospel Tract Society was formed and has since grown.

 

Today, we are joined by Lester’s son, Phillip, who oversees the ministry.
