"Ye
have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you,
that ye should go and bring forth fruit" (John 15:16).
(See also Matthew 28:19,20; Acts 1:8; 2 Timothy 4:2; 1 Peter
3:15; Proverbs 14:25; Acts 26:18; 1 Corinthians 9:16.)
Our
members regularly go to places where people gather, to talk,
counsel and offer help. Although we often speak to and perform
for larger audiences, our primary emphasis in outreach has
always been to interact with individuals on a one-on-one basis.
Many
people simply need a sympathetic person to share their troubles
with, so we endeavor to be compassionate listeners. Our members
come from a wide variety of backgrounds and are often able
to apply the experiences that they have been through to others'
situations.
