BE FLEXIBLE, AND HAVE THE PROPER VIEWPOINT - Conclusion

 Our success in the ministry does not depend on the results we obtain. Why? Because we have done what Jehovah and his Son want us to do-we have given a witness. (Acts 10:42) Even when we do not find anyone to speak with or when our message is rejected, we can have joy because we know that we are pleasing our heavenly Father. - Read Proverbs 27:11.

We can also rejoice when another publisher finds and interested person in the territory. The Watchtower has likened our work to searching for a lost child. Many are involved in looking for him, covering one area after another. When the child is found everyone-not just the individual who found him- has reason to rejoice. Similarly, the disciple-making work is a team effort. All are needed to cover the territory, and all rejoice when a new one starts attending meetings.
