Use Our Web Site in the Ministry—Feature Bible Dramas
1 Many deaf persons are interested in Bible stories. The “Sign Language” section of jw.org has a variety of Bible dramas in sign language that may interest such ones. If we are familiar with these dramas, we can direct interested ones to our Web site and show them a brief sample. These Bible stories can be used to start conversations in the ministry. They could also be used on return visits or Bible studies to help interested ones increase their appetite and appreciation for viewing the Bible. Why not take the time to become familiar with these dramas so you can be alert to opportunities to share them with others?

3 They Bore Thorough Witness to the Good News
Witness: Many people wonder why Jehovah’s Witnesses visit their neighbors so often. Perhaps you have wondered the same? It is because Jehovah’s Witnesses imitate Jesus. Notice what the Bible says here at Luke 8:1. [Show the scripture and pause after the sign “story.”] What does it say here that Jesus did?
Non-Witness: He preached.
Witness: The Bible tells of others who imitated Jesus. One man named Paul did his best to make known this good news from God. In fact, we have a movie in sign language that goes into detail about why Paul spoke with others and what he faced in order to do so. You can watch it here at jw.org. Let me show you how to find the movie. Perhaps I can come back in a couple of days and discuss some points from it with you.
4 Warning Examples for Our Day
Witness: Do you remember the well-known movie The Ten Commandments? Many remember this scene. [Show Exodus 14:21, 22.] It is a thrilling account, isn’t it? However, what many do not know is what happened after the Israelites left Egypt. I have a movie in sign language that shows what happened. You can watch it here at jw.org. Let me show you how to find the movie. Perhaps I can come back in a couple of days and discuss some points from it with you.
