Three-Day Jehovah’s Witnesses Program Promises Only Good News
In an era dominated by distressing headlines across social media, TV, and radio, Jehovah’s Witnesses, one of the world’s largest global convention organizers, will bring their highly anticipated “Declare the Good News!” motivational program to the Kingdom Halls in Tortola and Virgin Gorda.
The three-day event drawing hundreds of attendees promises a refreshing change: only good news.
“Every summer Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Virgin Islands look forward to our annual convention,” said Shawn Saunders, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “As we are all bombarded by bad news most of the time, this convention is going to focus on the Good News that we all need at this time.”
The “Declare the Good News!” convention will feature Bible-based videos, discourses, and interviews on topics such as:
- Why Do We Need Good News?
- Use the Good News to Defeat Bad News.
- Why We Don’t Fear Bad News.
Saturday’s program will spotlight a baptism of candidates from surrounding communities, while a captivating two-part video feature will be presented on Friday and Saturday mornings. Leading up to the convention, local congregations will actively invite community members to this free event, aiming to spread positivity and hope.
“Last year, nearly 13 million people attended more than 6,000 three-day conventions worldwide,” Saunders noted. “We are excited to see how many will join us this year in the BVI.”
