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.

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.

Still farther north, in the plains of the Sutlej River in east Punjab, another missionary home was obtained at Jullunder. Five missionaries were assigned there, including Nasreen Mall, who could now work in her own language-speaking area of Urdu.
