Jehovah Blesses Our Efforts to Observe the Memorial - INVITING OTHERS TO THE MEMORIAL -Conclusion

 We also invited those who are not longer serving Jehovah. We do so to remind them that God still loves them.  Many respond to our invitation, and we are overjoyed to see them.  Attending the Memorial reminds them of how much they enjoyed serving Jehovah in the past.  Consider Monica's example.  She was reactivated as a publisher during the COVID-19 pandemic.  After attending the Memorial in 2021, she said:  "This Memorial has been very special for me.  For the first time in 20 years, I've  been able to witness to people and invite them to the Memorial.  I really put my heart into it because I  am so grateful for what Jehovah and Jesus have done for me." (Psalm 103:1-4) Whether people respond positively to our invitation or  not, we diligently invite others to the Memorial knowing that Jehovah appreciates our efforts.

Jehovah has richly blessed our efforts to invite people to the Memorial.  In 1921, despite the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we had a record attendance of 21,367, 603.  That is almost two and a half  times the number of Jehovah's Witnesses in the world!  Of course, Jehovah is not concerned about  mere numbers.  He is interested in individuals.  (Luke 15:7; 1 Timothy 2:3, 4) We are convinced that Jehovah uses our invitation work to help us find honesthearted people. - Read Haggai 2:7.
