Jehovah’s Witnesses in Ecuador
The Ecuador branch in Guayaquil serves 10 languages. According to the 2015 yearbook, the peak publishers was 85,344 in 951 congregations. The Memorial attendance was over 271,000! That’s over 3 times the number of publishers! Last year, they experienced a 4% increase. So, you can see why Ecuador is a popular location for need-greaters.
Here’s a beautiful video about the preaching work in Ecuador and how the fields are certainly white for harvesting. Below that is a cute little video of an actual experience in Ecuador from 1958. Both of these were shown at our social gathering night.
Below is a history of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Ecuador and an overview of Bethel. This was taken from an information brochure the Branch gave us on our arrival.
