² It is the God-given responsibility of family heads to provide for their households. (1 Tim. 5:8) This is true not only regarding material things but much more so in a spiritual way! Family heads, do you have a good program of family worship, including practical Bible instruction, and do you take the lead with your family in the field ministry?

FAMILY FIELD SERVICE

⁵ Since the field ministry is a major aspect of our worship, the family should share in this together. (Heb. 13:15) Family heads can do much to promote family unity and build spiritual strength by working in field service with each member of the household. (Prov. 22:6)

⁷ Are you, like Joshua, determined that you and your household will serve Jehovah faithfully? Pray for Jehovah’s direction as you apply the suggestions presented above. He will bless your determined efforts to serve him faithfully.
