Make disciples.—Matt. 28:19.

In 1900, only 8,000 automobiles were registered in the entire United States, and there were just a few hundred miles of roads good enough to drive them on. Worldwide, there are now more than one and a half billion registered motorized vehicles and millions of miles of good roads. Cars and roads enable many of us to take the good news to people who live in remote areas. However, even if we lack convenient means of travel and must walk great distances, we put forth the effort needed to make disciples. (Matt. 28:20) Trucks, ships, and trains make it possible to transport Bible-based literature to very remote regions within weeks. Airplanes allow many to travel swiftly to conventions or to care for theocratic assignments. Additionally, members of the Governing Body and other brothers from world headquarters fly to many countries to encourage and instruct fellow believers. Advancements in transportation thus help to promote unity among Jehovah’s people.—Ps. 133:1-3. w15 2/15 4:8, 9
