Ways that Christians can support the Community



How Does this Christian Organization Help the Community?


This organization is politically neutral.  They are however, deeply involved in helping people of all races and backgrounds in their community.  Consider a few facts:


They include over seven million volunteers who spend a total of more than 1.5 billion hours annually teaching people what the Bible contains and how it can help them overcome harmful habits and practices, build happy families and otherwise improve their lives.  


They print and distribute literature free of charge in over 500 languages, including some in which no other printed literature exists.  


They conduct public speaking courses that have helped millions learn to express themselves clearly and tactfully.  


They sponsor literary programs that have helped tens of thousands of people worldwide learn to read and write.  


They have organized over 400 Regional Building Committees worldwide to train volunteers in construction skills so that they can build centers of Bible education.  In the past decade, over 20,000 houses of worship, or Kingdom Halls have been built.  


They are involved in disaster relief around the world, rendering aid to their fellow brothers and sisters (who share their beliefs) and non-believers.  In a two-year period following a recent spate of hurricanes that struck the United States, very many volunteered and rebuilt over 90 Kingdom Halls and 5,500 homes.


Why wouldn't one be interested about the Kingdom of God and how it can affect your life now? You're invited to contact them locally or to visit their official Web site:
