On October 20, 2012, Jehovah’s Witnesses in Korea rejoiced when their renovated and newly built branch facilities were dedicated to Jehovah. The event was especially meaningful because the brothers were able to look back on 100 years of faithful service. Moreover, in 2012, the number of publishers exceeded 100,000 for the first time. Some 1,200 local volunteers and 239 international servants and volunteers from nine countries worked to construct a new residence building, a printery building, audio/​video studios, and a vehicle repair garage. In addition, most of the existing buildings were completely renovated.

Anthony Morris, a member of the Governing Body, presented an encouraging dedication talk to the 3,037 brothers and sisters in attendance. The next day, a special meeting was held in a large exhibition hall, and over 1,300 congregations in Korea were tied in through the Internet. A total of 115,782 Jehovah’s Witnesses and interested ones enjoyed the delightful spiritual program.
