A PATTERN OF BOLDNESS IN THE MINISTRY

 In other countries, the Bible Students followed a similar pattern of bold witnessing. In northern France, Jozef Krett preached to immigrant Polish mine worders. He was scheduled to deliver a talk entitled "The Resurrection of the Dead Soon." When invitations were delivered to residents of the town, a local priest warned his parishioners not to attend. His warning had the opposite effect. More than 5,000 people attended lecture, including the priest! Brother Krett invited the priest to defend his beliefs, but he refused. Brother Krett placed all the literature he had, noting that the people he witnessed to had thirst for God's Word. - AMOS 8:11. 

In Africa, Claude Brown brought the good news to the Gold Coast, now known as Ghana. His lectures and the literature that he distributed helped to spread the truth quickly in that country.  John Blankson, who was studying to become a pharmacist, attended one of Brother Brown's lectures. He quickly realized that he had found the truth. "The truth made me buoyant," John remembered, "and I talked about it freely at our pharmacy school."
