Romans 10:14c says: "How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach?" True Christians are known throughout the earth for their house-to-house ministry. Having offered themselves willingly in preaching and teaching activities, each Kingdom Publisher often reflects on the question "How, in turn, will I preach without knowing the scriptures?"

HELPFUL TIPS:

Uncovered Territories: Play with the aim of exploring uncovered territories on the board since this could enable you to further increase your number of 'Bible Studies', 'Return Visits', 'Books', 'Magazines' and 'Time'. Avoid crowded territories, since you may end up being moved backwards regularly (due to displacement).

Score sheet: The original copy of the scores should be kept, while you make copies of it for future use.

Decks of Scriptural Cards:
For many, starting with few cards in a deck might be ideal to allow familiarization with those sets of questions and answers. In other instances, you may want to use the whole deck or decks (depending on the skill level or number of participants)

Sand Timer:
The Sand Timer provides the responding publisher with 30 seconds in which to respond. The Sand Timer also identifies who has the current turn (since it remains with the questioning publisher), this must be passed along as the turn passes to the next publisher.

Conversation Stoppers - Losing turns:
Conversation stoppers, as the name implies, are usually said to stop publishers in their tracks. If a suitable response that may lead to a brief discussion cannot be provided, then that opportunity is lost. Thus, in playing this game if the publisher cannot provide an adequate response, he/she loses a turn.
