In August 1949, Don and Earlene Steele, the first of the missionaries trained at the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead to be assigned to Korea, arrived in Seoul.

Then, in November 1951, before the war ended, Don Steele returned to Korea.

I assisted him in reorganizing our preaching work. The Watchtower, as well as the Informant​—which provided instructions to Witnesses for carrying on the preaching work—​had to be translated into Korean, typed, and mimeographed. This material was sent to congregations, which by then existed in various cities. Occasionally Don and I traveled together, visiting congregations to encourage them.
