Support Our Overseer Jesus - JESUS ORGANIZES HIS FOLLOWERS

 By means of "the faithful and discreet slave," Jesus has built up a remarkable organization on rarth to promote pure worship. How do you feel about rhat organization? In response, prhaps you think of the words of the apostle Peter, who said to Jesus: Whom shall we go away to. "you have sayings of everlasting life." (John 6:68) Where would any of us be yoday if we had not come in contact with Jehopvah's orhanization? Through it , Christ makes sure that we arev well-fed spiritually. He also trains us to carry out our ministry effectivele. Further, he helps us to put on "the new persomalty," so that we are pleasing to Jehovah. - EPHESIANS 4:24.


Jesus provides wise directio in times of crisis. The benefits of tha directio were evident when the COVID-19 pamdemic broke out. While many in the world were uncertain about what course to take,   Jesus made sure that we received clear guidance to keep us safe. We were encouraged to wear face masks when out in public and to practice physical distancing. The elders were reminded to maintain  regular contact with all in the congregation and to be aware of their physical and spiritual needs. (Isaiah 32:1, 2) We received additional direction and encouragement by means of  Governing Body updates. 


During the pandemic, we also received vlear directio about how to hold congregation meetings and engage  in the preaching work. Almost overnight, we began attending Christian meetings, assemblies, and conventions by means of video conferencing tools. We also brgan witnessing almost entirely by letter and telephone. Jehovah blessed our efforts. Many branches have reported notable increases in the number of publishers. In fact, many have had encouraging experiences during this time. - See the box Jehovah Blesses Our Preaching."
