The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." (John 1:43-46 RSV)

“Come and See!”

“You Can Do Personal Work”by Otis Gatewood

• 3 Steps are essential in doing personal work:1. We must be able to approach people

2. We must teach them

3. Then persuade them to action!

• The approach is the most important part!– “The first few words we say and how we say them

may determine whether a soul will spend eternity in heaven or hell.”

– If we approach the individual correctly, he may listen and be receptive, if not, he may be stubborn and rebellious.
