AS the end of the school year approaches, the Da Silva family could be busy planning how to spend the vacation period. Instead, Nalini and Japheus Da Silva and their two children are eagerly anticipating a three-day convention with hundreds who will come to hear exciting, good news!
“This isn’t just a convention,” said Japheus, of Linden. “It’s a time to be together as a family and with friends and to be part of something that will keep us happy and hopeful. It’s also a great way to enjoy a weekend in the capital city.”
One of the largest convention organisations in the world returns to locations in Berbice, Georgetown, and Baramita with a much-anticipated motivational programme to comfort and encourage the public.
In a society where negative information is constantly disseminated through various media platforms, Jehovah’s Witnesses will be hosting their 2024 event titled “Declare the Good News”! The convention series will commence on the weekend of June 28. Over the course of four weekends, the free, three-day live event is forecasted to gather hundreds of attendees. The community has experienced a widespread acceptance of the growing number of spiritually motivated visitors.
“We are excited to work once again with the authorities to host our conventions,” said Andre Darrell, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “These conventions are a highlight of the year for thousands of people who want to experience some positivity in their lives, and we are happy to enjoy the program once again in this welcoming and hospitable community.”
The “Declare the Good News”! convention will present Bible-based videos, discourses, and interviews on topics such as: Why Do We Need Good News? Use The Good News to Defeat Bad News, and Why We Do Not Fear Bad News.
On Saturday, there will be a baptism of candidates hailing from various communities in Guyana. Additionally, the audience will be captivated by a two-part video feature during the afternoons of both Saturday and Sunday. Prior to each convention, local congregations will engage in a campaign aimed at inviting community members to attend this complimentary event.
Last year, nearly 13 million people attended more than 6,000 three-day conventions worldwide.
