LIFE STORY/AS TOLD BY ERKKI MAKELA - THE POWER OF PRAYER - Conclusion

 Fernando got baptized in January 1990, six months after he started studying. Thereafter, he became a regular pioneer. With one local Witness in Algeciras, it was now safe enough for the branch office to assign special pioneers to the area. In February 1992, a congregation was formed in that town. 

Did Fernando limit his preaching to his hometown? No! After he married, he and his wife moved to San Vicente del Caguan. another town where there were no Witnesses.  They helped establish a congregation. In 2002, Fernando was appointed as a circuit overseer, and he and his wife, Olga, continued in the traveling work to this day.

From this experience, I learned how important it is to pray about specific matters relating to our theocratic assignments. Jehovah does what we cannot do. After all this, this is his harvest, not ours. - MATTHEW 9:38.
