Dear Friends,
The 2018 Super bowl is an event that will attract the attention of millions of people, and will draw guests from around the world. It is being held in Minneapolis, Minnesota this February 4th. During the ten days leading up to the event, there is expected to be approximately 1 million visitors who will be attending some of the events at this time.
As a result, a special public witnessing campaign has been approved by the branch office for January 25- February 4, 2018 in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. There will be many opportunities to support this campaign. Some of these include: you have publishers that have been pre-approved by your service committee who are qualified to do cart witnessing during this special event. Also, there may be additional qualified publishers who will be approached by your service committee and extended an invitation to do this cart witnessing.
Unlike our local congregation’s cart witnessing, this event calls for those who are able bodied and capable of standing for a good amount of time, perhaps even in the cold. Unlike cart witnessing we may volunteer to serve as drivers, to provide much needed transportation and delivery of literature throughout each of the ten days leading up to the event. Besides this, there may be future assignments that will be developed. Plus, we can all have a part in praying for the success of Jehovah’s name being ever more glorified in this unique circumstance. We appreciate all your hard work and enthusiastic support.
Your Brother,
Kenneth Gritten
