Show the model answer
(a) The Lord appointed seventy others and sent them two by two into every town He was about to visit (Luke 10:1).
"The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; pray the Lord of the harvest" (Luke 10:2).
He sent them as lambs among wolves; carry no purse, bag or sandals; salute no one on the road (Luke 10:3-4).
Say "Peace be to this house"; stay there, eating what is provided, for the labourer deserves his wages (Luke 10:5-7).
Heal the sick and say, "The kingdom of God has come near" (Luke 10:9).
Where not received, wipe off the dust as a warning (Luke 10:10-12).
He pronounced woes on Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum (Luke 10:13-15).
They returned with joy: "even the demons are subject to us" (Luke 10:17).
Jesus said He saw Satan fall like lightning, but they should rejoice that their names are written in heaven (Luke 10:18-20).
(b) Any two: persecution and violence; rejection and hostility; lack of funds; language and cultural barriers; false teachers; insecurity; materialism of hearers.
Narrate Luke 10:1-20, then two problems.
