6, 7. What are some of the responsibilities of circuit overseers?Modern-day traveling overseers focus on giving personal attention and spiritual encouragement to all in the congregations they visit. How? By following the pattern set by such first-century Christians as Paul. He exhorted his fellow overseer: “Preach the word; be at it urgently in favorable times and difficult times; reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all patience and art of teaching. . . . Do the work of an evangelizer.”​—2 Tim. 4:2, 5.In harmony with those words, the circuit overseer​—along with his wife if he is married—​joins the local publishers in various aspects of the field ministry. Such traveling preachers are zealous for the ministry and are skillful teachers​—qualities that have a positive effect on the flock. (Rom. 12:11; 2 Tim. 2:15) Those in the circuit work are best known for their self-sacrificing love. They give freely of themselves, traveling in unfavorable weather and even in dangerous areas. (Phil. 2:3, 4) Circuit overseers also encourage, teach, and admonish each congregation by means of Bible-based talks. All in the congregation benefit by contemplating the conduct of these traveling ministers and imitating their faith.​—Heb. 13:7.

Circuit overseers play a vital role in caring for congregations by providing spiritual support and encouragement. Following the example of early Christians, they actively engage in the field ministry, preach, and teach, fostering a spirit of unity and zeal within the congregations they visit. Their selfless service and dedication to the ministry inspire others to imitate their faith, as highlighted in Hebrews 13:7.
