LIVING AS CHRISTIANS
Improving Our Skills in the Ministry —Using Videos to Teach
WHY IMPORTANT:
Videos can touch the hearts of people by appealing to the senses of sight and hearing. This helps to hold attention and to make a lasting impression. Jehovah has set the best example of using visual aids to teach.
The videos Does God Have a Name?, Who Is the Author of the Bible?, and How Can We Be Sure the Bible Is True? supplement lessons 2 and 3 of the Good News brochure. The videos Why Study the Bible?, What Happens at a Bible Study?, and What Happens at a Kingdom Hall? encourage individuals to study the Bible with us or to attend congregation meetings. Some of our feature-length videos may also be used to teach on Bible studies.
HOW TO DO IT:
-
Download in advance the video you want to show the householder
-
Prepare one or two questions that will be answered by the video
