This was so great to see on JW.org just now....& I feel privileged to be a small part of it! 

I helped out on cleaning up the site of litter & contamination for a good 9/10months- then helped the decorating team paint some of the temporary structures for at least another 6/7 months- & now I have a cleaner assignment!! I'm hairdressing there every week!! 

& a great bonus is I get to chat to loads of brothers & sisters that worked on the Warwick project....what a great interchange of encouragement it's been & still is.

 Very good point. In the New World, we will not rush to build. Study the land a built upon what we know.

Unfortunately, not one mention there of Jehovah or his Witnesses. Likely a deliberate decision. 

But, we don't do any of this for recognition or credit, anyway. It's all to Jehovah's glory. Any honest-hearted person will see it if they search diligently.

It looks like comments are allowed on this BREEAM website, hopefully someone will comment about how Chelmsford City Council feel: “We are pleased that Jehovah’s Witnesses have so fully embraced such requirements for this development, even exceeding the standards expected by the city council.” The project “can now rightly be noted as a source of pride within our city, acting as a beacon for achieving the highest environmental standards.”   

[Peace be with you]

Reading news like this just convinces me ever more that this is Jehovah’s Organisation! 

Well done all on the BRD project.
