Preaching in Jadan

Our congregation is assigned to a rural Spanish territory, Jadan, about an hour from Cuenca.  The brothers and sisters that support the Jadan service group have experienced so much success that they are starting to have monthly public discourses in Jadan since the people can't travel to Cuenca Sunday mornings for meetings.  I went last week for the second public talk ever.  We were supposed to be inside of a student's house for the discourse, but he had an emergency and we were left outside... so we all sat in the field beside his house and listened while my friend, Fausto, gave the talk.  I really wish I'd gotten a picture while he was giving the talk because it was so incredibly surreal.  I helped a cute 13 year old girl that attended find the scriptures and follow along.  Before the talk, one of the students that attended said that when the Witnesses first started preaching in Jadan, the priest banded everyone together to chase them out with sticks and rocks.  Very Christian, eh?  It just goes to show that nothing will stop Jehovah from making sure his good news gets preached to all the inhabited earth!

 Taking FIELD ministry to a whole new level!
