Ways to Expand Your Ministry​—Part 3

BETHEL SERVICE

Serving at one of the many Bethel homes around the world is a special privilege. The name Bethel means “House of God,” and that designation is certainly appropriate for these centers of theocratic activity. Brothers and sisters in Bethel service do a vital work in connection with producing and distributing literature used by Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide. From Brooklyn Bethel, the Governing Body provides oversight and direction for congregations throughout the earth.

Much of the service performed at Bethel is hard physical work. For this reason, those called into Bethel service are mainly dedicated, baptized brothers who are young in years, in good health, and physically strong. If there is a need in your country and you would like to serve at Bethel, you can learn more about the requirements by attending the special meetings for those interested in Bethel service when these are held at district conventions. Your circuit overseer can also be of assistance in this regard.

KINGDOM HALL CONSTRUCTION

The construction of Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls is a form of sacred service, similar to the work of constructing Solomon’s temple. (1 Ki. 8:13-18) Many brothers and sisters show outstanding zeal for Jehovah’s organization by volunteering their time and assets to do this work.

Are you in a position to assist in this aspect of sacred service? If you are an exemplary baptized brother or sister with construction experience, the Regional Building Committee would very much appreciate your offering to assist. Some have even been able to volunteer as international construction servants on Kingdom Hall and Assembly Hall projects in other countries. If you are unskilled in building trades or are an unbaptized publisher setting a good example in the congregation, you may be able to assist with the building of a Kingdom Hall in your area. Why not let the local elders and circuit overseer know of your availability to help?
