 Use Enjoy Life Forever! in Your Ministry

How excited we are to have a new brochure and book for con-
ducting Bible studies! We pray for Jehovah to bless our efforts
to make many more disciples. (Mt 28:18-20; 1Co 3:6-9) How
do we use the new tools?
Since Enjoy Life Forever!, the interactive Bible course, presents
a new way to teach, follow these general guidelines as you
prepare for and conduct Bible studies.

˙ Read the material, and discuss the questions

˙ Read the “read” scriptures, and help the student to
understand their application
˙ Play and discuss the videos, using any questions that
are provided
˙ Try to cover each lesson in one session

In the ministry, offer the brochure first to determine a person’s

interest. (See the box “How to Offer the Enjoy Life Forever!
Brochure on the Initial Call.”) If you finish studying the bro-
chure together and the student wants to continue, then offer
the book and start with lesson 04. If you are already studying
with someone in the Teach Us book or the Remain in God’s
Love book, transfer to the Enjoy Life Forever! book and
determine where in it to begin.

WATCH THE VIDEO WELCOME TO YOUR BIBLE STUDY, AND THEN ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

˙ What will students learn from the new book?

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

˙ What goals should you progressively encourage the student to set and reach?—See the chart
“Focus and Goals for Each Section”

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 NOTE: Although the “Explore” section is optional during the study, take time to read or watch each item as you prepare.
Then, you will know what may especially appeal to and help your student. The electronic version includes links to the
videos and supplementary material.

An athlete must continue to train his muscles in order to
remain skilled. Similarly, we must put forth repeated effort On what should I rely when
to train and to maintain our powers of discernment. (Heb making decisions?
5:14) Although we may be inclined simply to copy the deci-

and decide for ourselves. Why? Each of us will render an ˛ Personal opinion
account for our own decisions.—Ro 14:12.
˛ Viewpoints of others
We should not assume that we will make good decisions
simply because we have been baptized for many years. To ˛ Bible principles
make wise decisions, we need to rely fully on Jehovah, his

(Ps 37:10, 11; Re 21:3-5) Adjust your schedule
to share fully in this campaign. If you sign up to
serve as an auxiliary pioneer for the month, you
may choose a 30- or 50-hour requirement.
Prepare to share a scripture regarding the new
world with as many people as possible. When se-
lecting a Bible verse, consider what would appeal
to people in your territory. If someone expresses
interest on the initial call, give him a copy of the
public edition of The Watchtower No. 2 2021.
Then, follow up on interest as soon as possible
and try to start a Bible study using the Enjoy

occupied in sharing “good news of something
better”!—Isa 52:7.
