Right silent partners we go out from from this church. We try and go out in pairs
Sometimes there will be threes or more. Sometimes there'll be extra kids with us, but a silent partner
There is a job there the silent partner
Is it just there to just literally just walk along and observe now new Christians if you're new to it
And you don't really understand much that's that's okay
But you guys have been going out for a little bit now. We should as a silent partner. You should be praying
Okay, you should you should be praying in your head. I don't mean loudly
Please get this person say well, they're trying to give the gospel
You should be praying in your head
And I know for some of you thinking like why are we going over all this?
But you'd be surprised and I don't know there are new people there people that haven't gone out giving the gospel
So this is good stuff to to get right and if there's anything that you don't do here
Please make a note of it as well. Okay, because this is what we want for this church
You should be praying in your head
You should be as well looking out for distractions
And if that means taking if there's two people and one is clearly just a problem if that means taking them to one side
You'll think I've never even given the gospel before you just show him a couple of your favorite verses from the Bible
Even if you're not ready and you think well, I'm not quite ready to give him a gospel presentation
That is the job of a silent partner to deal with distractions not to be a distraction and please silent partners
Don't start interrupting and getting it because that will a lot of people that will put them completely off their flow
But you know, they're in the spirit
They're trying to preach gospel and then the silent partner pipes up with something else if you're a silent part of your silent, okay
And other than when you're dealing with a distraction
Okay, and please I and a lot of us here will be swapping and when you're swapping you're a solid partner when you're not the one
Knocking and then a good rule to do is just knock until you actually get to talk
Don't just take it in turns to knock each door
Just knock you're the knocker until you get to talk
Even if that's someone screaming in your face go away and I don't want to put people off
It doesn't happen that often that but whatever that is, then it's the next person's go
