Preaching to a mother and daughter in the state of West Bengal in India
Sample Presentations
WHERE CAN YOU FIND COMFORT?
Witness: Notice this picture[Show opening illustration of cfc article 1]. Just as a mother or father would help a child who was injured and suffering, do you think God, as our Father, can provide comfort and support when you are suffering?
Non-Witness: That’s a good question.
Witness: For example, some are feeling financial pressures; others have health problems or have lost loved ones in death. How do you think God feels?
Non-Witness: Honestly, I’m not sure he notices.
Witness: Watch this scripture and notice—will God comfort you? [Show 2 Cor. 1:3, 4] Notice that scripture said ANY problems we have God is there to support us.
Non-Witness: That is such a nice thought. I recently lost my mother in death and I really miss her. I could use some comfort.
Witness: I am so sorry for your loss. Obviously you were close to your mother, it must be very hard. This video we are sharing today discusses how God can comfort and support us. May I send you a link so you can watch it later?
Non-Witness: Sure, here’s my email address.
Witness: Also I’d like to share one more scripture that may offer comfort at this time.
TEACH THE TRUTH
Witness: Many today have anxiety related to money, family, or health, which can at times feel quite overwhelming. Have you ever felt this way?
Non-Witness: Yes, I recently was fired from work. It’s been about six months and I have yet to find another job. The government won’t give me a pension and I’m really worried about how to provide for my family.
Witness: That is really challenging, I’m sorry you are going through that. Have you ever wondered if God cares about what you and your family are facing?
Non-Witness: I’d like to think he cares but honestly I am not so sure these days.
Witness: Let me show you from God’s Word the Bible exactly how he feels. [Show 1 Peter 5:7]
Non-Witness: Wow that is a very nice thought.
Witness: Because he loves us that scripture stated that you could pour out your anxieties to him in prayer. How can that help us? Perhaps next week, at this same time, I could come back and discuss that.
