HELP YOUR STUDENTS TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES -Continue

 In connection with family opposition, encourage your student to think about why his relatives may be upset. They may think that he has been misled, or they may simply be prejudiced against Jehovah's Witnesses. Even Jesus faced negative reactions from those he loved. (Mark 3:21; John 7:5) Teach your student to remain patient and tactful with others, including family members.

Even when relatives show interest, a student is wise not to explain everything all at once. Otherwise, his loved ones may feel overwhelmed and, as a result. be reluctant to have another conversation. So encourage your student to share his beliefs in a way that leaves the door open for future conversations. (Colossians 4:6) Perhaps he could invite his relatives to visit jw.org. This would allow them to learn more about Jehovah's Witnesses at their own pace.
