Help for Mistreated Women

So begins the jw.org article “Women’s Safety​—The Bible’s Perspective.” A link at the end of that article lets you download a PDF of the material, which can then be printed and folded into a four-page tract. “I printed copies and, along with another sister, took them to a women’s shelter in my congregation territory,” says a sister in the United States named Stacy.

An employee there asked if she could have additional copies to distribute to those living at the shelter. As a result, 40 more of these tracts were delivered along with 30 jw.org contact cards. On a later visit, the administrator at the shelter expressed interest in having a personal Bible study demonstrated for the residents.

Stacy and two other sisters had similar success at another shelter where five copies of the tract were accepted and more were requested. “This pamphlet will help the women here,” said one of the employees. She added, “We need this.” On a later visit, several residents gathered together to see a Bible study demonstrated and two of them expressed interest in attending the next weekend meeting at a Kingdom Hall.

Stacy says: “We are amazed at how this beautiful article has been received. When printed and folded, it is an appealing way to share the Kingdom message with this special audience. We were touched by the warm reaction we received, and we are excited to see how Jehovah will bless our efforts to reach these individuals further with the good news.”
