APPLY YOURSELF TO THE FIELD MINISTRY, December 22-28, 2025, Make Return Visits: PUBLIC PREACHING. (Making Disciples: A Work of Love, Lesson 8, Section 3). Assignment Prepared.

Make Return Visits (4 min.) PUBLIC PREACHING. Use jw.org to answer a question the person asked you (lmd lesson 8 point 3).

Setting: During a return visit, the publisher talks with an interested person who previously expressed interest in what the Bible teaches about raising children. The publisher uses jw.org to show practical Bible principles related to families and presents a short video about Bible courses. The person shows interest, appreciates the Bible's advice, and agrees to start a free Bible course.

Publisher: Hello, [name], how are you?

Assistant: Fine and how are you?

Publisher: I'm very well.

Assistant: It's good to see you. Please come in.

Publisher: Yes, thank you. The last time we met, you asked me how we Jehovah's Witnesses raise children in a way that actually works.

Assistant: Yes, I still have my doubts. You told me you had some principles based on the Bible, but we didn't go into detail.

Publisher: Exactly. I'd like to show you our website jw.org, which explains it very well. Shall we take a look together?

Assistant: Sure, I'd love to.

Publisher: Well, on our website jw.org we have a section dedicated to family and raising children. There we can see some of the Bible principles that help us to raise our children effectively.

Assistant: That sounds great. What kind of biblical principles?

Publisher: Well, for example, the Bible teaches us to love and respect our children and to teach them to obey their parents. It also teaches us to be a good example for them and to help them make wise decisions.

Assistant: That sounds great. I'd like to see more.

Publisher: Of course, we can look at some Bible texts that help us understand these principles. For example, Ephesians 6:4 says: “Fathers, do not irritate your children, but go on bringing them up in accordance with Jehovah’s discipline and counsel.”

Assistant: That's very true. I like how the Bible gives us practical advice for daily life.

Publisher: Exactly. We can also see how Jesus taught us to love and treat others, including our children. In Matthew 7:12, he says: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

Assistant: I believe these principles are very important for raising happy and well-balanced children.

Publisher: Absolutely. And the best part is that these principles aren't just for Jehovah's Witnesses, but for anyone who wants to raise their children effectively. Would you like to learn more about how to apply these principles in your daily life? We have a short video that shows how our Bible courses can help you better understand the Bible and apply its principles in your life.

Assistant: Yes, I'd like to see it.

Publisher: Great! (They play the video.) What did you think? Would you like to learn more about our Bible courses?

Assistant: I found it very interesting. I would like to know more about the Bible courses.

Publisher: Great! Our Bible courses are free and designed to help you understand the Bible clearly and practically. We can study together and see how the Bible can help you find answers to your questions and improve your life.

Assistant: That sounds good. When can I start?

Publisher: How about next Wednesday?
