AsKingdom preachers, we also face the challenge of overcoming a language barrier. In the revelation that he gave to the aposyle John, Jesus disclosed that in our day the good news would overcome the obstacle. (Read Revelation 14:6, 7) How so? We are giving as many people as possible a chance to respond to the Kingdom message. Today, people around the world can read Bible-based material on our jw.org website because it contains information in over 1,000 languages! Approval was given to translate th Enjoy Life Forever! book-our main study tool for making disciples-into more than 700 languages! Spiral food has also been made available by means of video recordings for th deaf and publications in braille for th blind. We are seeing Bible prophecies being fulfilled. People "out of all the languages of the nations" are earning to speak the "pure language" of Bible truth. (Zechariah 8:23; Zephaniah 3:9) All of this is being accomplished under the capable oversight oj Jesus Christ.
Today, well over 8,000,000 people in 240 lands are associating with Jehovah's organization, and each year tens of thousands get baptized! More than numbers, however, are the spiritual qualities, "the new personality," that these new disciples have cultivated. (Colossians 3:8-10) Many stopped being immoral, violent, prejudiced, and nationalistic. The prophecy recorded at Isaiah 2:4 is being fulfilled; they are not learning war anymore." As we work hard to put on the new personality, we help draw people to God's organization and we prove that we are folliowing our overseer Christ Jesu. (John 13:35; 1 Peter 2:12) None of this happens by accident. Jesus is giving us the help we need.
