Ministry through life example

…we need to employ a very delicate manner so that people accept what we are offering, whether it be words, books or whatever, without reacting negatively.  And something else:  use few words.  Words often provoke irritation.  Prayer and living example find resonance.  Living faith moves people, regenerates them and changes them, whereas words alone remain fruitless.  The best form of mission is through our good example, our love and our meekness.
