NEW WORLD SOCIETY ASSEMBLY

The New World Society Assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses was scheduled at New York city in 1953. A wave of excitement rippled among the brothers in India when it was announced that Indian delegates would attend. What a delight it was for Brother A. J. Joseph to have had his youngest daughter, Gracie, attend Gilead School along with her Indian classmate Nasreen Mall. Little did they realize that they would be bringing to their native land a good number of other missionaries. Among delegates from India attending the famous international assembly in New York in 1953 was Brother A. J. Joseph.

BASIS FOR EXPANSION

Ground was laid for further expansion in India just after this assembly because of more Gilead graduates arriving along with Sisters Gracie Joseph and Nasreen Mall. A second missionary home was furnished at Trichur in Travancore. There the missionary family was assigned to the Malayalam-speaking field, with Sister Joseph as their language instructor.
