Jehovah’s Witnesses will soon hold their annual regional conventions at the Accra Assembly Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Baatsona, Spintex Road.
They extend an open invitation for all to attend. The theme of this year’s program is “Don’t Give Up!”
Glory K. Bani, a convention spokesman, states: “Challenges in life can rob us of peace and even cause some to think about giving up.’’ “Our conventions thisyear will benefit both Witnesses and non-Witnesses because it promises to empower individuals not only to keep enduring but also to cope with challenges productively’’
The program is divided into 52 parts and will be presented in variety of formats, including brief discourses, interviews and short videos. Additionally, one segment of a three-part feature film entitled Remember the Wife of Lot will be shown each afternoon. A highlight of the program will be the chairman’s address on Friday morning, entitled “We Must Not Give Up –Especially Now!”
Starting the weekend of 14th July 2017, and continuing for the next 16 weeks, Jehovah’s Witnesses will extend personal invitations to everyone from Accra, Tema, and surrounding areas to attend the convention.
