THE WATCHTOWER ? DECEMBER 1, 2011 7
When severe calamities occur today, God's
servants respond similarly. Jehovah'sWitnesses
arewell-known for helping fellow believers.
For example, when a strong earthquake struck
Chile on February 27, 2010, Jehovah'sWitnesses
quickly responded to help those affected.
Karla, whose homewas swept away by a
tsunami, related: "It was
comforting and encouraging
to see that the very
next day [fellowWitnesses]
arrived fromother
areas to help us.Without
a doubt, Jehovah comforted
us through the goodness
of those volunteers. I
felt loved and protected."
Her grandfather, who is
not a Witness, observed
the help being given. He
said: "This is completely
different fromwhat I have seen for years inmy
church." What he sawmoved himto ask Jehovah'sWitnesses
to study the Biblewith him.
