Brothers and sisters,
the Governing Body would like to thank you00:00:12
00:00:12
for your kind and generous contributions.00:00:16
00:00:16
Your donations not only bring joy
to Jehovah’s heart00:00:18
00:00:18
but also bring praise to his name.00:00:22
00:00:23
When you make a donation,00:00:25
00:00:25
do you ever wonder,
‘Which projects and initiatives00:00:30
00:00:30
could my donations be supporting?’00:00:32
00:00:33
Well, in this video, we’ll travel
across the globe to see examples00:00:38
00:00:38
of the wonderful things that are being
accomplished with your donations.00:00:42
00:00:43
We’ll also learn how some
of our young ones feel00:00:46
00:00:46
about the contributions they make.00:00:50
00:00:50
Our first stop is Costa Rica.00:00:53
00:00:54
When I read
the appreciation letter of October 2025,00:00:58
00:00:58
I felt so grateful and so encouraged00:01:00
00:01:00
to know that so many brothers and sisters00:01:03
00:01:03
can now have God’s Word in their languages.00:01:04
00:01:05
It was then that I realized
that donations like mine00:01:08
00:01:08
helped brothers and sisters
like those in Mozambique,00:01:11
00:01:11
and they were able to have
Jehovah’s Word00:01:13
00:01:13
in their own languages.00:01:15
00:01:15
Knowing that the New World Translation
is now available in Tshwa00:01:18
00:01:18
filled me with joy and greatly encouraged me.00:01:21
00:01:22
It helped me see that something
as simple as a donation can be used00:01:26
00:01:26
by Jehovah to reach
every corner of the earth.00:01:29
00:01:29
And that makes me feel so happy00:01:32
00:01:32
because I support
the interests of the Kingdom.00:01:35
00:01:35
Just like our sister, you may have noticed00:01:38
00:01:38
that each month you make
a contribution electronically,00:01:42
00:01:42
you receive a letter of appreciation.00:01:45
00:01:45
Many find these letters very encouraging00:01:47
00:01:47
and even enjoy reviewing them
as part of their family worship.00:01:52
00:01:52
These letters help the recipients see
how their donations are directly linked00:01:57
00:01:57
to the work praising Jehovah worldwide.00:02:02
00:02:02
Next, we’ll visit Cameroon.00:02:06
00:02:07
I want to support
Jehovah’s organization with my allowance00:02:10
00:02:10
because I really love
Jehovah and his organization.00:02:14
00:02:14
Even though I’m still young,
I want to support the work being done.00:02:18
00:02:18
When my parents give me my allowance,
I set a portion aside to contribute00:02:23
00:02:23
to the worldwide work
in the contribution box00:02:27
00:02:27
at the Kingdom Hall
and sometimes at assemblies.00:02:31
00:02:33
When we visited the branch
and I saw the new exhibitions,00:02:36
00:02:36
I was so excited.00:02:39
00:02:41
I understood that these exhibitions00:02:43
00:02:43
exist thanks to donations like mine.00:02:46
00:02:47
It taught me to see that
my contributions serve a purpose.00:02:52
00:02:53
Seeing in this new museum
all these well-preserved objects00:02:57
00:02:57
that retrace the history of the work00:02:59
00:02:59
in our territory strengthens my faith.00:03:02
00:03:02
No matter your age,
you can feel a similar joy.00:03:08
00:03:08
When you visit or hear
about the wonderful work00:03:10
00:03:10
being carried out at your local branch,00:03:13
00:03:13
do you stop to recognize
that your donations00:03:16
00:03:16
help to make that work possible?00:03:18
00:03:20
Our final stop is Thailand.00:03:23
00:03:25
When I read the article
about how our donations are used00:03:29
00:03:29
in filming The Good News According to Jesus,00:03:31
00:03:31
it really impressed me to see
that there is careful planning00:03:34
00:03:34
and everything is prepared in an orderly way00:03:37
00:03:37
so that all the brothers and sisters
can work happily,00:03:40
00:03:40
even though this is a large project00:03:42
00:03:42
requiring time, effort,
and a great deal of money.00:03:45
00:03:47
I feel happy and grateful to Jehovah00:03:50
00:03:50
for providing this Good News drama00:03:52
00:03:52
because it helps us understand
that Jehovah and Jesus00:03:56
00:03:56
have such a wonderful relationship
with each other.00:03:59
00:03:59
And most important, this has also
helped me want to be close00:04:03
00:04:03
to both Jehovah and Jesus as well.00:04:07
00:04:07
Are you looking forward
to watching the new episodes00:04:10
00:04:10
of The Good News According to Jesus?00:04:13
00:04:13
Donations like yours make these
faith-strengthening videos possible.00:04:18

00:04:21
Bible translation work, and so much more.00:04:25

to support these initiatives00:04:52
00:04:52
that bring honor to Jehovah’s name?00:04:56
00:04:56
King David felt a similar way00:04:58
00:04:58
when contributing
to the temple’s construction.00:05:01
00:05:01
Note his words found
at 1 Chronicles 29:14:00:05:05
00:05:06
“And yet, who am I00:05:09
00:05:09
“and who are my people
that we should be00:05:11
00:05:11
“in a position to make
voluntary offerings like this?00:05:16
00:05:16
“For everything is from you,00:05:19
00:05:19
and we have given to you
what comes from your own hand.”00:05:23
00:05:24
Yes, even though all
of the riches belong to Jehovah,00:05:28
00:05:28
he gives us the privilege
of contributing to the work00:05:30
00:05:30
being accomplished around the world.00:05:33
00:05:33
Our voluntary donations
are precious to him,00:05:36
00:05:36
as they are more than
just financial transactions.00:05:40
00:05:40
They are spiritual acts.00:05:43
00:05:43
As such, they become part of our worship00:05:47
00:05:47
and bring praise to our heavenly Father.00:05:50
00:05:50
Once again, the Governing Body
thanks you for your generous spirit.00:05:55
00:05:55

for the privilege we have00:05:59
00:05:59

Brothers and sisters,
the Governing Body would like to thank you

Your donations not only bring joy
