Zeal That Stirs Up the Majority

The apostle Paul commended the Corinthians because their zeal for a good work had “stirred up the majority” of their fellow Christians. (2 Cor. 9:2) Often, an individual, a family, a book study group, or an entire congregation can have a similar effect by the zealous share they have in the evangelizing work. Here are some ways that you may be able to show zeal for the ministry.

◼ Reserve your Saturdays for Magazine Day activity.

◼ Participate in some field service on Sundays.

◼ Use longer daylight hours to share in evening witnessing.

◼ Take part in any special witnessing days that are arranged.

◼ Use a holiday from work or school to go in service.

◼ Support the ministry during the circuit overseer’s visit.

◼ Auxiliary pioneer one or more months during the year.

◼ Adjust your circumstances to regular pioneer if possible.
