“A Gift in Hand for Jehovah”

How can we “come forward today with a gift in hand for Jehovah”? (1Ch 29:5, 9, 14) Below are various ways in which we can choose to make voluntary donations to support the work of Jehovah’s Witnesses, both locally and worldwide.

• 

  THE WORLDWIDE WORK

  construction and operation of branch facilities and remote translation offices

  theocratic schools

  special full-time servants

  disaster relief

  printing, video production, and digital publishing

• 

  LOCAL CONGREGATION EXPENSES

  congregation expenses, such as utilities and basic maintenance of the Kingdom Hall

  any resolutions made by the congregation to send funds to the branch office for:

  • Kingdom Hall and Assembly Hall construction worldwide

  • the Global Assistance Arrangement

  • other worldwide activities

CONVENTIONS AND ASSEMBLIES

Donations made to your regional convention are forwarded to the worldwide work. In turn, the expenses related to regional, special, and international conventions are paid from the worldwide work.

Donations made to a circuit are used to rent, operate, and maintain assembly venues and for other circuit-related expenses. A circuit may resolve to contribute excess funds to the worldwide work of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
