After a couple of visits, the missionaries will often offer to do something around the house for you. This often catches people off guard and they wonder how to respond. We encourage you to take them up on their offer. By accepting their offer, you help them in a couple of different ways. They are …
We have often been asked to develop tracts for people to give missionaries. We haven’t done so because missionaries are told not to read Christian literature. More than a few missionaries, after their mission, have told us they would throw away anything a Christian would give them without even reading it. There are exceptions. One …
