Stephanie and George have enjoyed the privilege of visiting the Bethel headquarters in upstate New York on several occasions, the branch office in the Bahamas, the "Bethel Bible House" branch in London, England and the translation Bethel home in Tel Aviv, Israel. The facilities at various branch offices are used to print and distribute Bibles, Bible literature and media content via JW.ORG. Providing spiritual assistance to congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses numbering in the hundreds of thousands worldwide.
