When you go back, you should plan to fetch firewood and make a fire in the sleeping village, and maintain it for 24 hours or even for all year long. In the meanwhile, you can sit next to the fire and cook sweet potatoes, giving them out the people passing by... It should not cost so much to buy sweet potatoes. This is witnessing. How wonderful is it to make a camp fire and cook the sweet potatoes in it? If they call, "It's too hot," then you can tell them, "Although it is not, you should think of it as drinking a medicinal wine."

There are numerous ways of doing witnessing. You should try that. How much can it cost? Sweet potatoes are cheap, right? [Yes] You should try to cook a bag every month and see what kind of reaction you find in the village. What would happen in the village? They will say, "Such a saintly person probably came here in order for the village to flourish." Then how about your dinner? Since you treated them with sweet potatoes, you can eat dinner in people's houses. At dinnertime you can go visit those whom you have given sweet potatoes to, and share in their meal. During winter, you can say, "If I go back to the church after spending a day near the fire, I will feel very cold. So, let me sleep in your place tonight." You can find a place to sleep just based on the merit of having given one potato. After spending a night, you will be treated to a breakfast, and after that, you can gather the older people and talk to them... There are numerous ways of doing witnessing.

Moreover, suppose it is time for feeding the cows. Suppose that there was a cow tied at the front of a house at dawn. You can take the cow out for feeding, saying that the time for feeding is well past and the owner has not yet taken her out. Then, won't the owner come out with you? He will certainly come out. If you tell him that you felt pity on this hungry cow who was waiting for the owner to feed her, won't he be grateful and become your friend? So, why can't you be successful in witnessing? Why are you not doing so well?

Even on the day of shopping, you should not just idly stay behind. On that day, if you have not made any appointment with your guests, you should go out to the market. The farther away the market is, the better. If there is a woman who is going there, you should follow her, and on the way you can give some words of truth. If she likes it, then you should just accompany her.... This is witnessing. If there is a capable person in the village, then you should make an appointment to meet for lunch. Then you should treat him to lunch. How much is a bowl of noodles? Is it several hundred yuan? If that has to be taken out of your living expenses, you should not eat dinner. If you are reluctant to share... This will become blessing. If you buy someone lunch, and as a result have to go without a meal at night, then God will give you blessing. He will surely bless you. Good spirits will definitely be moved by your deeds. After lunch, make your rounds, and when dinnertime comes you can go out for a movie. Even if you do not have much money, theaters in the countryside are dirt cheap.

Having done that, you will be invited by that family even if you do not go and see them. If they invite you, you should not talk about other things. You should talk about things that the village needs and these people need. You can talk about the church at the end. At the very end, after giving all the principal lectures, you can give the concluding remark that they are the words of truth from the Unification Church. You don't even have to put up the sign for the Unification Church. As you speak, the listener will say that the content is very interesting. He will then ask, "These are great words, where did you learn them?" Then at that moment you can say, "You can become greater than I. If you come to the Unification Church while you are curious, then you can learn all about the teachings because there is a lot of such content." After that, things will move along naturally. You have to become close in heart, person to person. Do you understand what I am saying? [Yes] You can penetrate inside using whatever means you can. You can do it. How could it be impossible?
