² You might be able to start a conversation by briefly mentioning some problems being faced in the community, and then you could say:

◼ “Many people believe that there is a God, but they wonder: ‘What kind of future does he want for us?’ How would you answer that? [Allow for response.] Did you know that the Bible clearly explains God’s will for mankind and the steps he is taking to accomplish it?” Turn to page 301 in the Revelation Climax book. Read Revelation 21:1 in paragraph 1, and then read the explanation given for it in the last half of paragraph 2. Turn to the picture on page 302 to illustrate what this means for our future. Read Revelation 21:4 in paragraph 6. If there is good response, offer the book. Be sure to explain how our worldwide work is supported by donations. Arrange a convenient time to return to continue the conversation.

⁴ Since many are concerned about the growing problems facing mankind, you might say something like this on the initial call:

◼ “Nearly everyone is concerned about the problems we face in our community. [Mention a few.] For decades politicians have promised to bring about permanent solutions, and some have tried to do so. What do you think causes conditions to continue to worsen? [Allow for response.] The Bible offers an explanation that most people have never considered. The book of Revelation describes a war that took place in heaven. Notice the outcome, as stated at Revelation 12:9.” Read the verse, then turn to page 182 in the Revelation Climax book. Use the picture to explain Satan’s involvement in earth’s affairs. If genuine interest is shown, offer the book and mention the donation arrangement. Make plans to return and discuss how God will solve mankind’s problems.

⁶ With so many people interested in the environment, you could say something like this to open a conversation:

◼ “We have found that almost everyone is concerned about the pollution of our air, water, and food. In some countries the condition of the environment is already life-threatening. Since God is the Creator of the earth, what do you think he will do about this? [Allow for response.] The Bible says that God is going to call for an accounting of the way we use the planet. [Read Revelation 11:18b.] Imagine living on an earth that is free of all pollution!” Point out God’s promise of a paradise, as indicated at Revelation 21:3, 4. Show the picture on page 302 in the Revelation Climax book. If the degree of interest warrants, offer the book and arrange to call back. Give the person an opportunity to make a donation.
