Missionary Life

Tracting

  1. Knocking on doors, uninvited, to find people willing to hear the missionary message.

Long a staple of missionary work (and its most stereotyped image), tracting is labor-intensive and often discouraging, and the Church increasingly emphasizes finding people through members and referrals instead.
