Improving Our Skills in the Ministry​—Using Videos to Teach

WHY IMPORTANT:

Videos can touch the hearts of people by appealing to the senses of sight and hearing. This helps to hold attention and to make a lasting impression. Jehovah has set the best example of using visual aids to teach.​—Ac 10:9-16; Re 1:1.

The videos Does God Have a Name?, Who Is the Author of the Bible?, and How Can We Be Sure the Bible Is True? supplement lessons 2 and 3 of the Good News brochure. The videos Why Study the Bible?, What Happens at a Bible Study?, and What Happens at a Kingdom Hall? encourage individuals to study the Bible with us or to attend congregation meetings. Some of our feature-length videos may also be used to teach on Bible studies.​—km 5/13 3.

HOW TO DO IT:

• Download in advance the video you want to show the householder

• Prepare one or two questions that will be answered by the video

• Watch the video together

• Discuss the main points

TRY THIS:

• Turn to the back of Questions Answered in the Bible-On DVD, and direct attention to the code that links to the video Why Study the Bible?

• Show the video How Can We Be Sure the Bible Is True? and offer the Good News brochure, highlighting lesson 3 (fg 3:1-7)
