Start conversations (3 mins.) INFORMAL PREACHING. (lmd lesson 3 point 5).

Setting: The publisher is on her way to the bus stop when she notices a woman who seems ill. By offering help, a connection is formed that allows her to discuss a biblical promise related to health and hope for a better future.

Publisher(s): Good afternoon, are you okay? Is there anything I can help you with?

Assistant: Oh, dear, I feel a little dizzy, that's why I stopped here.

Publisher(s): Come, sit down on this bench for a moment. I'll help you. Lean on me confidently. Would you like me to call a relative to come get you? If you give me the number, I'd be happy to do so.

Assistant: Thank you very much, my love, but don't worry. My son is waiting for me a block away. I was on my way when I felt that way.

Publisher(s): I'm glad to know someone's nearby. Have you been to the doctor yet?

Assistant: Yes, I have an appointment tomorrow, but I have to confess something: doctors can't cure me.

Publisher(s): And why do you say that? What's wrong with it?

Assistant: Old age. (Laughs softly.)

Publisher(s): What a great sense of humor you have! I'm happy to tell you that God has promised to cure that "disease." I read a beautiful verse to him. (He takes out his cell phone and reads.) Look at what Job 33:25 says: "May his flesh become fresher than when he was young; may he regain the vigor of his youth."

Assistant: What a beautiful hope!

Publisher(s): It's a promise from God. He assures us that the time will come when disease and old age will be no more. All of that will be a thing of the past.

Assistant: What a lovely message. Look, I feel better now. My son is nearby. Will you join me while we continue talking about this?

Publisher(s): With pleasure, of course. It'll be a pleasure to continue talking until we arrive. (They both stand up and walk slowly, conversing calmly.)
