Traditionally, we go field early field service at 7am then we meet at the Hall at 9am for regular field svc. A brother and I decided to try going out at 6am and see how svc was. At 6:10a I found this young popolo (black) kid (turns out he's from Ghana) at the bus stop on 185th ave. This time, I talk to him and placed two current mags with him and then I left him with an encouraging thought on the importance of prayer.
Taking a chance that he’ll be there the next day, we show up. I find he’s walking to the bus stop at 6:05a and that he’s there by clock work at 6:10a daily. The bus to pick him up comes at 6:15a sharp, so each of our discussions must be ontime and brief. I discussed some points with him on the subject of prayer since that’s where we left off the last discussion. During this brief discussion, (about 10min in length) I find out that he’s studied with the witnesses for a short time in Ghana before he moved to US. So again after another brief discussion I arrange to pick him up from the bus stop and drive him to his house where we could have a bible study. He agrees to study the Bible teach book. Before we get into a study, I ask him about his studies in Ghana and determine that he’s had enough study to discuss slightly meatier subjects. We had our first study at the Kingdom Hall. The second study was in my car outside in the kingdom hall parking lot. Each study was about 3 hours and some progress seemed to be made. The 3rd meeting was more of a get stuff done for him, hair cut etc. By the way, the three studies took less than a week to complete. We studied about every other day.
This study would not have been found (at least by me) had we not adjusted our service time to start at 6am. I’ll report back to let you know how this study progresses.
That angel flying in mid heaven (Rev. 14:6) strikes again.
