As was done in the days of Solomon when the temple in Jerusalem was dedicated to Jehovah, so too on July 31, 1993, the brothers in Hungary ‘rejoiced and felt merry of heart’ in connection with the dedication of the newly built additional residence and offices for the Budapest Bethel. (1 Ki. 8:66)

For many years the activity of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Hungary had been under the supervision of other branches, such as Romania, Germany, Switzerland, and, most recently, Austria. Starting in September 1994, however, Hungary became a branch under the direct supervision of the world headquarters in Brooklyn.
