We Have Seen Jehovah's Hand in Building Kingdom Halls (15 min.): Play video. Then ask: 

What evidence is there that Jehovah blessed the construction of Kingdom Halls in Micronesia?

For years the meetings were held in a house and due to lack of space all the brothers could no longer fit, so a property was obtained, then it happened that at that time the government had prohibited the extraction of sand and coral from the ocean or from the coast. On many occasions sand was needed for construction but unfortunately no one gave in, so everything changed when they prayed since a man from a van was a homebody in charge and without thinking he told them that he had the armigo for them early the next day and without saying anything he left.

For example, in one of the congregations for many years they had held their meetings in a house and when many people attended they had to sit outside due to lack of space, eventually they got a property but the government prohibited the extraction of sand from the ocean or from the coast, so there was a company that had sand and gravel but they did not want to sell to them on several occasions, until they decided to go one last time, the brother says that while they were going towards the entrance a blue truck arrived, a short man and told them how he could help them, they explained what they were going through and told them that they would receive the concrete the next day.

And the interesting thing about this is that this man had just flown in from another island, he had been away for a while, but as soon as he got there he talked to them, then he got back in his car and drove away, so there we see the hand of Jehovah .

Then in this same construction they needed sand again, so they prayed to Jehovah because they knew that if he wanted that place to be built, it would be built, they searched but were unsuccessful, when they returned they stopped at a store to buy and talked with the cashier, and This man just had a lot of sand in his backyard and didn't know what to do with it, so he offered to carry the sand to the site himself.

Another story happened on another island, the brother tells that they were renovating a translation office and a kingdom hall, they needed sand and they couldn't get it, because there were no companies to sell it, what they had to do is go from village to village asking the chief if he was willing to sell some sand from his beach, one of the chiefs agreed, but there was a dispute between two chiefs, so they did not want to sell, then there was a typhoon, the work was not damaged at all and What's more, the storm removed sand that blocked the way to the villages and now they asked the brothers to help them remove that sand from there, so they had enough sand for what was missing from the project.

What is achieved in construction projects thanks to the holy spirit?

Everything is achieved, thanks to his holy spirit the project is finished and there are no difficulties. Peace and good organization are also achieved.

Well, thanks to the holy spirit, an atmosphere of love is created in each project, unity is fostered and it is what motivates us to serve Jehovah with commitment day after day together with our brothers and sisters, this is what drives us to work hard.

Thanks to the spirit of Jehovah there are no obstacles that stand in the way when you want to build a place where you want to serve Jehovah and that has been repeated over and over again and although financial support is important, the atmosphere of love that exists in the constructions is what motivates our brothers to continue serving Jehovah with determination.

How have you seen Jehovah's hand in the construction projects in which you have been involved?

We have seen the hand of Jehovah when sometimes we are at work and suddenly a little brother arrives just at mealtime and brings us food. Also when sometimes we need material and we don't know how but we manage to get it and sometimes they give it to us.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

For example, in some projects that I participated in, I saw the hand of Jehovah when some authorities were willing to collaborate with machinery and necessary permits, also the way in which brothers from other congregations came to the project even if the place was hours away.

The hand of Jehovah has been seen since when the Kingdom Hall is being built there are always people who are not yet witnesses who want to support the work, many have done it with machinery, others have given construction permits to acquire material and it has also been seen the hand of Jehovah in the support given by the brothers of other congregations to carry out the new project of the kingdom hall.
