The Art of Listening

Some
don't
want to listen

Others won't take
the time

Many can't be trusted

This makes
ministry easy!

If you want
to help people...

You don't have to risk your life

Or take off
for foreign parts

Just be
a good listener!

Here's how in
three easy steps

Like the old
railroad signs said...

Stop, look and listen!

• If someone wants to open up, come to a full stop
• Set your agenda aside or you will lose the moment

• Let them unload as you listen to them & to the Lord

If you let them pour out their words

They will be able to receive yours

But, you don't have to say anything

Good listening says it
all!
