HOW TO BECOME A PREACHER 141 ing. Pay constant attention to yourself and to your teaching . Stay by these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and those who listen to you."-1 Timothy 4 :13,16, NW . 13 But where are the congregation and place of preaching of these Scripturally ordained ministers?

Matthew 15 :24 and 28 :19,20, NW Jesus went out to the people with God's message . He went not only to the synagogues and temple, where he accepted invitations to preach to the crowds, but for a large part to the homes of the people . All comers to him he considered his congregation, also all people with whom he came in touch, whether singly or in groups . Anywhere and everywhere he preached, by wellside, seaside, mountainside, in the lonely wilderness, in populous city streets, in public temple and synagogue and in private home. And he never embarrassed his audience with holding out a money-itching palm or passing the collection plate under their noses . 14 Jesus' example shows where God's organized preachers of good news are to find their congregation today. They must bring increase of fruitage to God and must expand their congregation . This they do largely or for most of the time by going daily to the private homes of all people, regardless of religion, race, color, occupation or station in life, political persuasion, or language . Paul, who copied Jesus, did so : "I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house. But I thoroughly bore witness both to 14. How must preachers expand their congregation, as Paul showed?
