Improving Our Skills in the Ministry​—Witnessing to the Deaf-Blind

WHY IMPORTANT: Many who are Deaf-Blind do not feel comfortable talking to strangers. Therefore, it takes skill to give such ones a witness. Jehovah shows loving concern for the Deaf-Blind. (Le 19:14) We can imitate his example by taking the initiative to help the Deaf-Blind spiritually.

HOW TO DO IT:

• “Search out” the Deaf-Blind. (Mt 10:11) Do you know someone who has a Deaf-Blind family member? Are there some Deaf-Blind people in schools, nursing homes, or other facilities in your territory?

• Show personal interest. Your genuine friendliness and sincere interest will help put a Deaf-Blind person at ease. Try to start a conversation on what Jehovah will do for the Deaf-Blind. (bh 00)

• Provide spiritual help. If you see a Deaf-Blind person in the ministry, we can use tactile sign language to help those who are Deaf-Blind to understand our sign publications. If the Deaf-Blind person has interest in the truth, you can tell an elder about it and the elder will arrange a publisher with much experience to give a return visit to the Deaf-Blind.
