BE FLEXIBLE, AND HAVE THE PROPER VIEWPOINT

 Do you feel discouraged when you find few people at home? Why not ask yourself: 'Where are the people from my territory right now?' (Acts 16:13) 'Are they at work or out shopping?' If that is the case, could you find more people by doing street witnessing? A brother named Joshua says, "I have found opportunities to preach while walking through shopping plazas and public parking lots." He and his wife, Bridget, haver also found more people at home when calling in the early evenings as well as on Sunday afternoons. -EPHESIANS 5:15, 16. 

If people show little interest in the message, try to determine what they believe in or are concerned about. Joshua and Bridget use the question found in the front of the tract in their introduction. For example, using the tract How Do You View the Bible? they say: "Some people view the Bible as book from God, others not so much. What is your opinion?" This often leads to a conversation.
