Characteristics of a witness

I can identify with the story related by Daniel Haigwood in Talking about the wreck. Last February, we were involved in an automobile accident, and since I was stunned by it, I so appreciated one eye witness who went out of his way to make sure arriving police officers knew what happened and who did what.

As you teach this week’s lesson, “Empowered to Witness”, ask members if they recall an accident scene where they remember the important role some individual played in explaining what he/she witnessed at the scene. Or you can work thru this interesting approach of explaining a Brush With Death. As Haigwood does, relate these ideas to our lesson in an effort to help members appreciate key characteristics of a witness--they feel compelled to tell what they know.
