Pray for Many in poverty in other Countries!

??????‍???‍???‍???‍?????

Poverty among Jehovah's witnesses
Perhaps first-world witnesses like Europe or North America, we are not really aware of the plight of our brothers in the poorest countries.

??????‍???‍???‍???‍?????
We get real experiences from brothers who count as they go day by day.
Many missionaries count and do not end the things they see, as in a truly poor area of Honduras.

??????‍???‍???‍???‍?????

When someone dies in the congregation, they make a collection to bring a carpenter to make them a coffin and bury the deceased with an old man's speech.
The missionaries wore glasses or used glasses to collect from the congregations of origin, because in those lands there was no optical and many brothers cannot read posts like the watchtower, since they are losing sight. With the glasses used they could even get a job, benefiting not only spiritually but even in their daily life.

??????‍???‍???‍???‍?????

Life there is hard, they die of simple diseases due to lack of medication. When the rainy season comes, attendance at meetings lapses due to lack of shoes that allow them to walk through rough and wet terrain, causing them to injure their feet and die for those injuries. The people there are very superstitious, and if any familiar, sick witness, they attribute to him that he has abandoned the religion of the family and abandons him. For this reason, the brothers who fall ill take care of each other.
When the missionary couple arrived, the brothers of the congregation of Honduras invited them to a meal. To do that, they collected the supplies of a whole week to feed them and then just watch them eat. The missionaries immediately learned to reject invitations in an educated manner and so not to see the children look hungry like they eat all the food.

??????‍???‍???‍???‍?????
A Missionary was invited to a hospital to explain the position of witnesses with regard to blood. They're so poor they barely have electricity, so it was impossible to show them the videos. The Missionary had been an electronic engineer in England and was dedicated to fix the issue of electricity in all the hospital's rooms, even if it was only to be able to put the videos of the organization. But from now on, the hospital liaison committee has been very well received since it already has electricity to the kitchen and the lab thanks to the brother.

??????‍???‍???‍???‍?????

Entire villages benefited from one of our bible videos about cleanliness and hygiene around the house. Men who were like the chiefs or elders of a village asked our brothers to show the videos to the village in any meeting room or cabin they could muster and the elders and local police would ensure that everyone attended. Our friends had to carry all the video / DVD players and Tvs and generators in the back of their van, as well as the videos, since these people did not have any of these modern innovations. They also had to carry all their drinking water and medical supplies on these trips. They would have to drive the dry beds of the rivers to the mountains, as there were no suitable roads.

??????‍???‍???‍???‍?????

From more wealthy congregations, a collection was made for the missionaries to buy a battered truck, but tough as once they were given a good car, but they stole it at gunpoint! Because the terrain is so rough, we also gave them good resistant shoes, as they used them regularly after a few months. We regularly provided them with simple ministry bags, as brothers and sisters were often assaulted and stolen their bags, even though they were only learning to bring literature into them.

??????‍???‍???‍???‍?????

Many missionaries came from rich areas and only lasted a few weeks since there was nothing they recognized as prerequisites for their own lifestyle. The older missionaries were laughing when some came by waving their credit cards and asking for the nearest bank, or supermarket and looking for a good cell phone sign. The Ministry is so different where people don't have home numbers or addresses as such, it's a clash of culture for a while.

POVERTY  BETWEEN  JEHOVAH'S  WITNESSES    Missionaries  today  in  HONDURAS....

Probably the witnesses of the first world as Europe or North America, let us not really be aware of the hardships suffered by our brothers from poorer countries.
We get real experiences from siblings who tell us what their day to day life is like.
Many missionaries count and do not finish the things they see, as in a really poor area of Honduras.
When someone dies in the congregation, they make a collection to bring a carpenter to make a coffin and to bury with dignity the deceased with the speech of an old man.
The missionaries brought them used glasses or magnifying glasses that they collected from the congregations of origin, because in those lands there were no opticians and many brothers can not read the publications like the Watchtower, since they are losing sight. With the glasses used they could even get a job, benefiting not only spiritually but even in their daily life.
Life there is hard, they die of simple diseases for lack of medicines. When the rainy season arrives, attendance at meetings declines due to the lack of shoes that allow them to walk on rough and wet terrain, causing them to injure their feet and die from those injuries. The people there are very superstitious, and if some sick witness family, they attribute it to have abandoned the religion of the family and abandon it. For this reason, the brothers in falling ill take care of each other.
When the pair of missionaries arrived, the brothers of the congregation of Honduras invited them to a meal. To do this, they gathered supplies for a whole week to feed them and then just watched them eat. The missionaries quickly learned to refuse invitations in a polite way so they did not see the children look hungry as they eat all the food.
A missionary was invited to a hospital to explain the witnesses' position regarding blood. They are so poor that they hardly have electricity, so it was impossible to show them the videos. The missionary had been an electronic engineer in England and was dedicated to arranging the subject of electricity in all the rooms of the hospital, if only to be able to put the videos of the organization. But from now on, the hospital liaison committee has been very well received since it already has electricity to the kitchen and the laboratory thanks to the brother.
Whole villages benefited from one of our Bible videos about cleanliness and hygiene around the house. The men who were like the heads or elders of a village asked our brothers to show the videos to the village in any meeting room or hut they could gather and the elders and the local police would ensure that they all attended. Our friends had to carry all the video / DVD players and televisions and generators in the back of their Izuzu van as well as the videos, as these people did not have any of these modern innovations. They also had to carry all their drinking water and medical supplies on these trips. They would have to drive the dry river beds to the mountains, since there were no adequate roads.
From wealthier congregations a collection was made for the missionaries to buy a battered but tough truck as they were supplied with a good car, but they stole it at gunpoint! Because the terrain is so rough, we also gave them good sturdy shoes as they used them regularly after a few months. We regularly provided them with simple ministry bags, since brothers and sisters were often robbed and robbed of their bags, even though they only learned to carry literature on them.
Many missionaries came from the rich areas and only lasted a few weeks since there was nothing that they recognized as requirements for their own way of life. Older missionaries laughed when some came waving their credit cards and asking for the nearest bank, or Supermarket and looking for a good cell phone signal. The Ministry is so different where people do not have house numbers or addresses as such, it is a clash of culture for a while.

What can we do to help, other than pray ?

[David Normand]

Such a different way of doing things. When I travel for my company I rarely carry cash always relying upon credit cards or ATM machines. I can imagine the shock of not having these conveniences. It takes a lot to be a missionary, it takes a lot more to be successful at it. 

[Karen Williams]

Life is hard as a Pioneer I know, please don't give up, Continue to pray and myself my congregation, Jehovah's people will pray and the hearer of prayer Jehovah God will hear your prayers. Please don't give up. Agape

From far away, the best we can do is to pray for our poor Brothers and Sisters??. We have many different countries where our Brothers have a hard life. We can't all imagine how simple they live !  But they love Jehovah like you and me... and doing the best they can. Jehovah is watching all and will never forget his precious people❤️ Our Missionaries of sure helping so good they can.

I got last years regulary email reports with many pictures from a Missionary couple in Honduras. Very interesting and positive ! We can be sure, Jehovah is caring about all???

Thanks for you heart-touching comments dear Brothers and Sisters?

The Organization cares for disaster relief and those in need. Donating to the Society will help any land in need. Missionaries sent there report all the time back so we are a caring and loving family! Jehovah sees too. Soon all injustice will be gone forever! Thank you for your support.

Life as a missionary has it challenges! Helping the world wide work helps in any land that there is a need. That's why missionaries are sent. We all pray for release soon of this world of Satan's grasp. Send Love back and prayers. Jehovah sees those in poverty and many governments now are causing more attacks on Jehovah's people. Pray to Jehovah His Loyal Love is not short! 

Thank your comments.

@Karen Williams

Prayer is essential and soon the vindication of Jehovah's Name as he brings to nothing all opposers of His Kingdom and just rule. Man continues to dominate man to his injury. Jehovah can only release all from this oppression and His King ? Our Lord Christ will bring to nothing all Government, power and authority. Isaiah chapter 2 will reinforce justice to come soon! 

Thank you for your encouragement
