AS TOLD BY DYAH YAZBEK

 

I was born on May 19, 1940, in the town of Amioûn, Lebanon. A few years later, our family moved to the city of Tripoli, where I was raised in a loving, stable family who knew and loved Jehovah God.

Interesting to see he is 67 years old when accepted to Bethel.

 

I always thought you had to be young to join Bethel?

Oh, no. Of course, most new bethelites are young brothers and sisters full of energy for, mostly, physical labour. But every once in a while a special set of qualities are needed, and so elderly brothers and sisters can be asked to join the bethel family. I know and elderly CO who was asked to come and serve on the branch committee in a certain country. Elderly brothers and sisters are not useless.
