APPLY YOURSELF TO THE FIELD MINISTRY, January 6-12, 2025, Start conversations: INFORMAL PREACHING. (Making disciples: a labor of love, Lesson 5 point 4). Prepared Assignment.

Start conversations (4 mins.) INFORMAL PREACHING. (lmd lesson 5 point 4).

Setting: You are at a bus stop and hear someone comment about the increase in natural disasters on the news.

Assistant: It's worrying, it seems like the world is getting worse.

Publisher: That's right, and many people wonder why these things are happening. In fact, I recently read a text in the Bible that mentions something interesting about these times. Can I share it with you?

Assistant: Sure, go ahead.

Publisher: In 2 Timothy 3:1 it says… This passage shows that these problems are part of a period that the Bible calls the “last days.” Had you heard of that before?

Assistant: Yes, I have heard something, but I have never understood it very well.

Publisher: It is understandable, because there is a lot that the Bible explains on this topic. But it also gives wonderful hope: a future where there will be no more suffering or problems like these. If you want, I can show you where it says it.

Assistant: Yes, it would be interesting to know more point

Publisher: Of course. Look, in Revelation 21:4 it says… It is a promise that many find very comforting. What do you think?

Assistant: It would be amazing if that ever happened.

Publisher: And the best thing is that the Bible not only gives us this promise, but explains how we can live to see that time. If you're interested, I can show you more another time. Would you like us to talk more about this?

Assistant: Yes, I would like to.

Publisher: Perfect, what do you think if I leave you my contact information or see you here another day to continue talking?
