JW Broadcasting - December 2018 Updates

Good day brothers and sisters. Welcome again to another JW Broadcasting update. This time, it is for the December 2018 edition. But before that, let's have a recap of the things that was released this month.

1. Northern Mariana Islands was destructed by Super Typhoon Yutu on October 24, 2018. Thanks Jehovah, no brothers or sisters were killed or injured. However, the homes of 15 Witnesses were completely destroyed and another 40 homes were damaged. [Read full story.]
2. Another story is about how our brothers brought relief to flood victims in Japan. Some 4,900 volunteer relief workers helped in the relief operations. [Read full story.]
3. Another typhoon battered the Philippines. It was Typhoon Yutu (metioned earlier). 73 homes of our brothers were damaged as well as 6 Kingdom Halls. [Read full story.]
4. Tropical Storm Vicente and Hurricane Willa hit Mexico which resulted to severe flooding and mudslides in southern Mexico that killed 11 people. Local brothers and sisters have already cleaned the flooded homes and Kingdom Hall and made necessary repairs. [Read full story.]
5. Three major wildfires in California, United States, have caused catastrophic damage and at least 48 deaths of which 3 are witnesses. [Read full story.]
6. Cyclone Gaja devastated the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. 46 individuals were killed, an estimated 250,000 were displaced, and over 85,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. None of our brothers and sisters were injured or killed by the storm. [Read full story.]
7. Mass arrest and detentions continues in Russia. For example, for the month of October 2018, local and federal police raided more than 30 homes throughout western Russia. There are now 25 brothers and sisters unjustly imprisoned, and 18 others are under house arrest. [Read full story.]
8. However, despite these sad events, we are happy to hear all conscientious objectors in South Korea who have served at least one third of their 18-month prison sentence will be released on parole. Therefore, 57 of the 64 brothers currently imprisoned should be released. We expect the remaining seven brothers to be released once they have served six months of their sentence.

Now back to the update. JW Broadcasting December 2018 program will be released soon. However, we will not have a regular JW Broadcasting program for this month. Instead, the 145th Gilead Graduation will be shown. (Remember December 2017? Check it out!) Also, there will be no music video.

Here are some images from the December 2018 broadcast:
