Jehovah Makes It Grow

Jehovah's blessing is evident upon the tireless efforts  of over 2,000 active Kingdom proclaimers on these Aegean islands.  Now there are 44 congregations and 25 groups of Jehovah's Witnesses there. Of the groups, 17 are in foreign languages, since it is Jehovah's will that  "all sorts  of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth." (1 Timothy 2:4) Additionally, 13 special pioneers are putting forth increased efforts to reach many more in those isolated territories.

For centuries the Aegean Sea has been a center of cultural development and commercial trading. In recent decades it has become the preferred resort for hundreds of thousands of tourists.  But more important, as "fishers of men," Kingdom proclaimers  have found on these islands many honesthearted people eager to praise Jehovah. Together, they have responded in a grand way to the prophetic invitation:  "Let them attribute to Jehovah glory, and in the islands let them tell forth even his praise." -Isaiah 42:12.
