    • Showers of Blessings Upon God’s People

      Shortly after the persecution ended, Jehovah’s people in Georgia received many spiritual blessings. At the 2004 district convention, the New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures in the Georgian language was released.

      Then, at the 2006 “Deliverance at Hand!” District Convention, another unforgettable event took place. Excitement was in the air when the delegates heard that Geoffrey Jackson, a member of the Governing Body, would address the audience. And what a surprise when Brother Jackson announced the release of the complete New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures in Georgian!

      Tears of gratitude welled up in the eyes of many delegates. A sister said: “I cannot put into words the joy that I felt when we received the complete Bible. . . . It was really a historic event.”
