1 To be a better steward of resources, the BSCNC will no longer act as the agent for supplying evangelism and discipleship tracts from other organizations. We will, however, continue to resource out of our existing stock but will begin to encourage you to contact the publishers directly once those are supplies are exhausted. The purpose of this document is to facilitate this transition and provide you with those contacts in one concise document.

Barriers & Bridges forgoes detailed history and beliefs of the 12 religions and sects it covers -- deferring to the 4truth.net website for those topics -- and jumps straight to the key practical considerations for reaching adherents. Barriers The cultural, social or religious barriers that can hinder acceptance of a biblical understanding of Jesus Christ. Bridges Points of connection that believers can use to bridge those barriers. The brochure also provides some examples of people groups that might adhere to particular religions, along with specific action steps that churches and denominational groups can take to help reach people of that particular faith.
