Belarus: Pavel and Mayya, a married couple serving as special pioneers, were attending the pioneer school. One evening they decided to take a walk together, not planning to engage in any preaching. Nevertheless, they took along the booklet Good News for People of All Nations. Upon noticing two foreigners, they decided to witness to them. They were able to find out that the two men were from Pakistan and spoke Urdu. Remembering that they had the booklet with them, they gave it to the men to read. One of the two expressed interest and agreed to study the Bible. That very week he came to the congregation meeting. Association with Jehovah’s people has been a great source of encouragement to him, moving him to say, “In my three years in Minsk, this is the first time that I have met genuine Christians.” The man is continuing to study the Bible.
