Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world launched an unpreceden­ted campaign to distribute a special issue of The Watchtower magazine to local residents, businesses and government officials inNovember 2020.

The magazine, with the cover title “What Is God’s Kingdom?” was offered free of charge in over 300 languages.

Untold billions have petitioned God, “Thy kingdomCom­e,” when reciting what has become known the world over as the Lord’s or the Our Father prayer. (Matthew 6:10 KJV) Jesus taught his disciples that model prayer nearly two thousand years ago. The special issue the Witnesses distribute­d in November generously quoted from the Bible to unequivoca­lly identify the kingdom, or government, that Jesuswas referring to.

Because of COVID-19, the Witnesses’ campaign proceeded using methods in accordance with local health protocols. This included distributi­ng the magazine and contacting people via electronic means.

Anelectron­ic copy of this special issue is available on the official website of Jehovah’sWitnesses, jw.org.

There are over 8.6 million Jehovah’s Witnesses who actively promote Bible education worldwide in 240 lands. This Christian denominati­on includes persons from all ethnic and cultural background­s, including 1.3 million Jehovah’s Witnesses in theUnited States. Their officialwe­bsite, jw.org, has informatio­n available in over 1,020 languages. SEAN BARTON Linthicum
