APPLY YOURSELF TO THE FIELD MINISTRY, May 25-31, 2026, Start Conversations: INFORMAL PREACHING. (Making Disciples: A Work of Love, Lesson 5, Section 3). Prepared Assignment.

Start conversations (3 mins.) INFORMAL PREACHING. Find a natural way to let the person know that you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses (lmd lesson 5 point 3).

Setting: During work, the publisher starts a conversation with a colleague and naturally finds an opportunity to let him know that he is one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Publisher: It's finally Friday. I can't wait for the day to be over.

Assistant: So what are your plans for this weekend, [Name]?

Publisher: I have several things planned. On Saturday morning, I'm going to help out with an activity at my church, and later I want to visit some friends who have been sick to see how they are doing and if they need any help. And on Sunday, I'll attend my church meeting.

Assistant: I didn't know you were so active in religious matters. What religion do you belong to?

Publisher: I am a Jehovah's Witness.

Assistant: Ah, I see. I've seen Jehovah's Witnesses preaching from house to house and also in those carts with publications, but I'd never spoken to one. Honestly, I didn't imagine you were a Jehovah's Witness.

Publisher: Yes, many people are surprised when they find out. I've been a believer for several years now, and the truth is that my faith occupies a very important place in my life.

Assistant: How interesting. I've always been curious, although sometimes I'm too shy to ask. Tell me, is your religion very strict?

Publisher: I understand why some people might think that. But rather than following rigid rules, we try to base our decisions and our way of life on Bible principles. That helps us maintain a more peaceful and purposeful life.

Assistant: I'm glad to hear that. Sometimes we get carried away by comments or misconceptions. Thanks for letting me know; it's nice to learn more about you.

Publisher: With pleasure. And if you ever have questions about the Bible or our beliefs, I'd be happy to talk to you.

Assistant: In fact, I do have some questions I'd like to clarify. I'm interested in knowing what you all think and what the Bible teaches about certain topics.

Publisher: How about we continue talking calmly on Monday during lunch?

Assistant: Perfect, that sounds good to me.

Publisher: Very well, then. For now, let's keep working.

Assistant: OK.
