A New Generation of Witnesses in Ukraine

During the 2000 service year, this land saw a peak of 112,720 publishers.  More  than 50,000 of these have learned the Bible truth during the past five years. "Truly, Jehovah has raised up a new, youthful generation of Witnesses to declare his name!" said John Didur, coordinator of the Branch Committee.  "Over the past two years," he added,  "we have placed more than 50 million magazines, which is equal to the population of the country.  Each month, on the average, we receive a thousand letters from interested people asking for more information." 

Other Moving Features of the Program

Daniel Sydlik, a member of the Governing Body, gave an absorbing talk.  The article "How the Governing Body Differs From a Legal Corporation,"  appearing in this magazine is based on that informative presentation.

Theodore Jaracz of the Governing Body delivered  a thought-provoking discourse entitled "Overseers and Ministerial Servants Theocratically Appointed."  One of the articles appearing in this magazine is based on that subject.

The annual meeting also included a stirring talk give by Governing Body member David Splane on the year text for the year 2001.  Based on the apostle Paul's words, it is: "Stand complete and with firm conviction to all the will of God."  (Colossians 4:12) Jehovah's Witnesses  around the world are determined to dot hat as they faithfully preach the good news of God's Kingdom in all the earth. -Matthew 24:14.
