Surprising Covid restriction ministry benefits

[Meditate!]

It has been mentioned before that the restrictions have had an effect on us all.. not meeting together but learning other ways to support each other..

 

However on the other hand the 'forced to look elsewhere' for our preaching work has led to some surprising events here. (UK)

 

One congregation decided to include the Nursing homes in the Business letter writing and include some of the residents staying in them... The congregation got an almost immediate response from one of the residential home's Director. He wanted to talk about it as soon as possible..

 

Among other things he said the residents had really appreciated the personal letters and he had been in touch with 'a few other homes' to gauge what they needed.. So the director asked if they would be prepared to contact 'some' other residents directly?

 

Our brother responded; 'Of course we would be more than happy for our congregation to write to some residents.. can you give us some idea of how many you are looking at?'

 

Around 800.....

 

We are experiencing a different ministry and it is helping us all to adapt to a new situation. Our CO this week reports that the growth in preaching esp with pioneering is at a record high.. We have opportunities that were there before but didn't see them. Now we have our eyes open and look the fields are white for harvesting. John 4:35

 

We still have a ministry and we can all do it safely now... Jesus knows what he is doing; all we have to do now and through the GT, is to be obedient. Why can we be sure?

2Kings 6:16 But he said: “Do not be afraid! For there are more who are with us than those who are with them.”

 

How many more? Matt 25:31 “When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.. Our literature estimates it could be a billion or more: I know who I would rather side with in the war ahead.

 

Who said the ministry is restricted... LOL

Wonderful Alan!  What a big boost to your spiritual morale.  Jehovah's hand is not short.  You brothers and sisters in the UK and Europe have had it tough with witnessing being curtailed due to the privacy restrictions.  E voila!  You get something like this happens!  Only Jehovah would do this, and with style  .

That's awesome! Jehovah always knows what to do in any given situation.
