Adjustment in Branch Administration

To care for the needs of the field, it became necessary to reorganize the local Branch Committee. In May 1996 the Governing Body made adjustments. On May 20, 1996, Sébastien Johnson was appointed Branch Committee coordinator. He and Peter Ludwig, who had been added to the committee two months earlier, formed a reduced Branch Committee that took care of the oversight of the work. In the years that followed, others were appointed: David Nawej, Christian Belotti, Benjamin Bandiwila, Peter Wilhjelm, Robert Elongo, Delphin Kavusa, and Uno Nilsson. For health reasons Peter Ludwig and his wife, Petra, had to return to Germany, where they are now serving at the branch office.

The brothers on the Branch Committee are working hard to impart theocratic direction throughout the field.
