    00:00:04 So you are excited to go out in service! 00:00:07 Do you think you are ready? 00:00:09 Not so fast! 00:00:12 Before you go in the ministry, 00:00:13 there are a few things we need to go over. 00:00:15 First, we must learn the three P’s. 00:00:18 The three P’s? 00:00:20 Yes! 00:00:21 Preparation, 00:00:23 personal appearance, 00:00:24 and proper behavior. 00:00:27 First, preparation. 00:00:29 Preparation is the first pillar 00:00:32 of success in the ministry. 00:00:33 Every job requires the proper tools. 00:00:36 When it comes to tools for preaching, 00:00:38 the variety might seem intimidating. 00:00:40 But never fear! 00:00:42 We have the Teaching Toolbox. 00:00:44 Finding the right tools is easier than ever! 00:00:47 Once you have your tools, 00:00:50 make sure and practice your presentation 00:00:52 before you leave the house. 00:00:54 We wouldn’t want to be preparing on the doorstep. 00:00:59 Now that you are well-prepared, 00:01:01 it’s time to talk about personal appearance. 00:01:06 How we look is very important because we represent Jehovah. 00:01:11 Getting ready for the ministry, we need to make sure 00:01:14 our appearance is saying the right things. 00:01:17 Jehovah wants your appearance to be well-arranged and modest. 00:01:20 What that means is that we look and smell clean; 00:01:28 our clothes fit well, 00:01:29 but not too well; 00:01:32 our hair is done; 00:01:34 and we aren’t drawing too much attention to ourselves. 00:01:38 Looking sharp, my son! 00:01:40 Now it’s time to talk about proper behavior. 00:01:44 Our conduct while in the ministry 00:01:46 is another way we can bring praise to Jehovah. 00:01:49 So make sure you are on your best behavior. 00:01:52 Avoid talking or laughing loudly, 00:01:54 playing around, 00:01:56 or intruding on anyone’s property or privacy. 00:02:01 Also, no eating at the door. 00:02:03 Remember, when we go door to door, people see us, 00:02:07 and good behavior gives a good witness. 00:02:11 We would never want to give anyone 00:02:13 a reason to find fault with our ministry. 00:02:16 Can I go out in service now? 00:02:18 Yes! 00:02:19 It looks like you are ready. 00:02:21 It’s time to put the three P’s to the test. 00:02:26 Hi! My name is Caleb. What’s your name? 00:02:28 Hi, Caleb! 00:02:30 My name is . . .
