In January 1961, Brother Milton Henschel from the President’s office visited the branch. He helped the brothers to map out their territory and to begin the reorganization work. Groups were soon being visited regularly by two circuit servants. This restored contact of the organization with the brothers showed love and helped to keep them spiritually healthy. Enthusiasm was high and the brothers began offering the magazines on the street. But this was cautioned against by Brother Knorr since it would antagonize opposers and the work could be done without it. The important thing was to get the “good news” told, quietly if necessary, by visiting the people in their homes and conducting studies with the interested ones.

Brother Knorr visited the Dominican Republic in April 1962, providing the stimulus needed for increased activity. While the work was going well, it was chiefly by a continuation of the home Bible study work that had been the activity emphasized during the ban. More house-to-house work was now desirable. Another circuit was formed and circuit servants were instructed to give special attention to the house-to-house work. Attitudes were changing rapidly. To “strike while the iron was hot,” Brother Knorr raised the allotted number of special pioneers to 100.
