STIMULUS TO EXPAND

In December 1954 Brother Knorr visited Costa Rica again and announced the building of a new branch home and Kingdom Hall.

The branch building was completed on January 25, 1956, just two days before the surprise visit of Brother Knorr and his wife, Audrey. It was dedicated on January 27, 1956.
