In Denmark, for example, the present branch facilities were built in 1957 and have become quite cramped. The new 50-room Bethel home now under construction will allow for a larger staff, and this will make it possible to print the Watchtower and Awake! magazines with the full 32 pages in the Danish language, instead of only 24 pages, as at present. The new facilities will also include a branch office and a large factory. “With the new branch buildings we will be able to improve our service to the brothers and to the territory in our care,” reports the branch. Such territory includes the scattered places of Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands.

In order to help out with this project, a Danish Witness who is a skilled plumber and a family man made this decision: “When the building work was due to start, I handed in my notice [to quit secular work] and we sold our furniture. We were confident that when we had finished the building work I would find both a job and a home again. We will think of that when the time comes. We have experienced how Jehovah provides when we put him to the test and seek his kingdom first.” Truly a fine expression of faith in Jesus’ advice at Matthew 6:25-33!
