As Jesus' faithful followers, we strive to imitate him in showing love, fellow feeling, and compassion to others. (1 Peter 2:21; 3:8) While we cannot heal the deaf or the blind, we can certainly help such ones spiritually. For example, the Bible publications are now available in over 100 sign languages. And to benefit the visually impaired, braille publications are available in over 60 languages and audio descriptions for our videos are produced in over 100 languages. These provisions help the deaf and the blind to draw close to Jehovah and his Son.
Jehovah's organization endeavors to help people of all backgrounds. Recall that after his resurrection, Jesus poured out holy spirit so that all those assembled for the festival of Pentecost could hear the good news, each in "his own language." (Read Acts 2:5-7, 33) Following his lead, the organization provides Bible-based publications in well over 1,000 languages, some of which are spoken by small numbers of people. For example, some Amerindian languages are spoken by relatively few people living in North and South America. Yet, publications have been made available in more than 160 of those languages to ensure that as many as possible can have access to the good news. Our publications are also available in over 20 Romany languages. Many thousands who speak such languages have responded to the truth.
Besides supervising such efforts to spread the good news, Jehovah's organization provides relief to victims of natural disasters. To that end, thousands of volunteers make themselves available to help their brothers and sister in need. The organization also helps provide modest places of worship where people can gather together to learn more about God's love for them.
