That the preaching work that can save people life. (2 Cor. 4:1) Who the earthen vessels? That God servants who can preach the good news to other people. During Paul day, people use to use clay pot to carry important goods like, food, wine, and money. That the same way Jehovah using us to preach the good news. With Jehovah help, we can get the strength we need to preach the good news.

PRAY FOR COURAGE

9. What can help us to not be scary to preach to people? (Also see the picture.)

⁹ Sometime, we can be scary to preach to people. What can help us to not be scary? Think about the prayer the apostles made when the people told them to stop preaching. Instead of being scary, they ask Jehovah to help them “to keep speaking [his] word with all boldness.” Right away, Jehovah answer their prayer. (Acts 4:​18, 29, 31) If we can be scary to preach to people sometime, we too must ask Jehovah for help. Ask Jehovah to help you get strong love for people so you can’t be scare to preach to them.

10. How Jehovah can help us to play our part in preaching the good news? (Isaiah 43:​10-12)

¹¹ You can feel discourage when you not finding plenty people to their house? Then it good to think on this question them: ‘Where I can find the people in my territory right now?’ (Acts 16:13) ‘They gone to work or they gone in the market to buy or to sell?’ You not think it will be good to start doing street witnessing so you can find more people? One brother name Joshua say, “I na find way to start talking with people in their shops and other places where people can be.” He and his wife, Bridget, na also find more people to their house in the evening and on Sunday afternoon.—Eph. 5:​15, 16.

12. How we can know what people thinking on or what they believe?

¹² If people not really showing interest in the message, try to know what they thinking on or what they believe in. When Joshua and Bridget start talking with people, they can use the question that on the tract. For example, when they using the tract What You Think About the Bible, they can ask people this question: “Some people can look at the Bible to be God Word, but other people get different idea. What you think?” This one can make the person to start talking with them.

14. Why we can be happy when another publisher find interested person in the territory?

¹⁴ We can also be happy when another publisher find interested person in the territory. The Watchtower compare our work to looking for child that lost. Plenty people can go different-different places to look for that child. When they find the child, everybody can be happy, that not just the person who find him. That the same way the preaching work looking. All of us working together. We need everybody in the congregation to preach in the territory, and all of us can be happy when somebody start coming to the meetings.

15. How applying Matthew 22:​37-39 can help us to get more zeal for the field service? (Also see the picture.)

¹⁵ We can get more zeal for the field service by focusing on our love for Jehovah and for people. (Read Matthew 22:​37-39.) Just think about how Jehovah can be happy when he see us doing this work, and how people can be happy when they start studying the Bible! Think about the kind na life people will enjoy in the future when they listen and apply the things we teaching them. —John 6:40; 1 Tim. 4:16.

Even though it was not easy for them that time, they  still use to preach to people on phone, write letters, and conduct Bible study on zoom. When Samuel use to go to the clinic for his cancer treatment, he use to preach to the people he see there. He say: “When thing not easy for us, we can be worry, tire and it can even test our faith. We need to look for ways to be happy in serving Jehovah. Why we were going through this problem, Dania got sick, they put her on bed for three months. Then she started using wheelchair for six months. She say: “I try my best to preach to the nurse who was taking care of me and the people who use to bring things to my house. I also enjoy talking on the phone with one woman who was working for one medical company.” Even though Samuel and Dania were not able to do more in the field service because of their situation, but they still do their best, and they enjoy it.
