APPLY YOURSELF TO THE FIELD MINISTRY, October 27-November 2, 2025, Make Return Visits: INFORMAL PREACHING. (Making Disciples: A Work of Love, Lesson 9, point 3). Prepared Assignment.

Make return visits (4 mins.) INFORMAL PREACHING. Last time the person told you that a loved one had recently died (lmd lesson 9 point 3).

Setting: During a return visit, the publisher speaks with a person who previously told him she had recently lost a loved one. She expresses that she feels alone, overwhelmed, and unsure how to cope with the loss. The publisher offers comfort using a Bible passage, aiming to provide spiritual support, hope, and emotional strength.

Publisher: Hi [name], how are you? Last time you told me that a loved one had recently passed away. How have you been since then?

Assistant: Hi [name], thanks for asking. It's been really hard. The loss of my loved one hurts so much. I feel incredibly sad and alone. I try to move on, but it's like there's a weight on my chest that won't go away. Sometimes I think about her and it makes me feel down. I remember the good times we shared, and it hurts to remember them.

I wish I could talk to someone who understands what I'm going through. Do you know what it's like to lose someone you love? I feel a little lost and don't know what to do to feel better.

Publisher: I'm so sorry. It's normal that it's difficult. Sometimes, in times like these, I find comfort in the Word of God. Would you like me to read you a text that has helped me a lot? The Word of God gives me strength and hope in times of pain and sadness.

Assistant: Yes, that would be great. I'd love to hear something that's helped you.

Publisher: Okay. Let's read a passage that has given me comfort in difficult times. It's in Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in despair."

This text makes me feel that God is not far from us, but is with us at all times, especially when we are suffering.

Assistant: That's beautiful. I like it. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in this.

Publisher: Yes, it's a very comforting text. It means that God is with us when we are sad or hurt. He doesn't abandon us, but rather sustains us and gives us strength to continue.

Assistant: That's so true. It makes me feel like there's someone who cares about me and understands me.

Publisher: Exactly. God is close to us in difficult times. He gives us hope and shows us there's a way out. What do you say if I come back and we continue talking?

Assistant: Of course. Thanks for listening.
