A Building in 38 Hours
The Tulsa, Oklahoma, World reports that a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses was built in less than 38 hours over a weekend. The newspaper relates: “The sun yawned in the east as dozens of folks—soon to be hundreds—converged on a dusty spit of land marked by a fresh concrete slab. They came in pickups, vans, motorhomes and cars from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Louisiana, Florida and New York. All Jehovah’s Witnesses, they shared a common goal: To build a [Kingdom Hall] for the local, 36-member congregation of Purcell in a single weekend. And they did. The last brick was tucked into place exactly 37 hours and 20 minutes after the men, women and children had rolled up their sleeves.”
The World noted that “not a dime has been paid for their labor of love.” One passerby declared: “This is the most unbelievable thing I have seen in my life. Yesterday there was nothing. Today there is this. It’s the most beautiful dedication to God I have ever seen.”
