JEHUSLARGE AND SMALL
A Great JehuA Great Jehu held six pioneersBack then, automobiles were very expensive and the roads were bad. So Kazumi Minoura and other young colporteurs used house cars without engines. They nicknamed these Jehus after the hard-driving charioteer who became one of Israels kings. (2 Ki. 10:15, 16) Three Great Jehus each measured 7.2 feet (2.2 m) long, 6.2 feet (1.9 m) wide, and 6.2 feet (1.9 m) high and each could accommodate up to six pioneers. In addition, 11 bicycle-driven two-man Baby Jehus were built at the Japan branch. Kiichi Iwasaki, who helped to make the Jehus, recalled, Each Jehu had a tent as well as a car battery to supply electricity for lights. Colporteurs were shining the light of truth throughout Japan, pushing and pulling Jehus up and down mountains and across valleys from northerly Hokkaido to Kyushu in the south.
A Baby JehuA Baby Jehu accommodated twoColporteur Ikumatsu Ota stated: When we arrived in a town, we set up our Jehu on a riverbank or in an open field. We first visited prominent men of the town, such as the mayor, and after that we visited homes to introduce our literature. After covering the territory, we moved on to the next town.
It was a day of small beginnings when that group of 36 Bible Students in Kobe held their first assembly. (Zech. 4:10) Just five years laterin 1932103 colporteurs and publishers in Japan reported activity, placing more than 14,000 books. Today, well-organized public witnessing is being done in Japans metropolitan areas, and nearly 220,000 publishers are letting their light shine throughout the Land of the Rising Sun.From our archives in Japan.
