NgoFebruwari 1, 1943, iklasi yokuqala yesikolo esikhethekileyo yaqalisa kumntla weNew York. Eso sikolo, ngoku esaziwa ngokuba siSikolo SeBhayibhile SeWatchtower SaseGiliyadi, siye saqeqesha ngokukhethekileyo amadoda namabhinqa angaphezu kwe-8 000 asuka kuzo zonke iinxalenye zomhlaba.

UJonathan, ophumelele kwiklasi yakutshanje yaseGiliyadi, uthi: “Imfundo esiyifumeneyo esekelwe kwiLizwi likaThixo iza kusinceda sibe lulutho kuyo nayiphi na indawo esithunyelwa ukuba siye kushumayela kuyo.” Unkosikazi wakhe, uMarnie waleka ngelithi: “Ngoku ndinqwenela ukunceda abantu babone ukuba abukho obunye ubomi ngaphandle kobo uMdali anenjongo ngabo. Ndiqinisekile ukuba ukunceda abantu bazi ngoYehova kuza kuphucula ubomi babo.”

Esi sikolo asihlawulisi, ibe siqhutywa iinyanga ezintlanu. Eyona nto ifundwayo yiBhayibhile nokubaluleka komsebenzi wokushumayela. Injongo yesi sikolo kukuba abo bafundiswayo bakhuthaze abantu bakaThixo ukuze babe neempawu ezifunekayo eziza kubenza bakwazi ukumelana neengxaki abajamelana nazo. Ebudeni besikolo abafundi bachitha ixesha eklasini bexubusha imigaqo yeZibhalo ebanceda bomeleze ubuhlobo babo noThixo, uYehova.

Izibini ezitshatileyo eziba kwesi sikolo sele zingabashumayeli bexesha elizeleyo. Emva kokuba ziphumelele, zinokubuyela kwiindawo ebezikuzo okanye zithunyelwe kwamanye amazwe. Ezinye zisiwa kwenye yeeofisi zamasebe amaNgqina kaYehova ezingaphezu kwe-90. Uninzi lwazo luthunyelwa kwimimandla enabantu abaninzi ukuze zishumayele.

Ukuqala kwaso esi Sikolo sasikwiKingdom Farm, kuMzantsi weLansing, eNew York. Ngo-1961, safuduswa sasiwa kwikomkhulu lamaNgqina kaYehova eBrooklyn, eNew York. Ukususela ngo-1988 ukuya kuthi ga ngo-1995, saba kwiWatchtower Farms, eWallkill, eNew York. Ngo-1995 safuduselwa kwindawo esisaqhutyelwa kuyo nangoku kwiiZiko LeMfundo LeWatchtower, ePatterson, eNew York. NgoMatshi 2013, kwakukho igredi yeklasi ye-134.

Kangangeminyaka eyi-70, abaphumelele kwiSikolo SeBhayibhile SeWatchtower SaseGiliyadi bangumzekelo omhle wokushumayela ngoYehova ngokuthembeka.
