Jehovah’s Witnesses to host convention

[Guest Nicole]

THOUSANDS of Jehovah’s Witnesses and their friends are expected to converge at Setsoto Stadium on Friday for a three-day regional convention held under the theme “Remain Loyal to Jehovah”.

According to Jehovah’s Witnesses in Lesotho spokesperson, Khotso Pitso, the convention theme will help people develop a closer relationship with God and also help family members to be loyal to each other.

“The convention will feature discussions and videos that will help people develop stronger bonds with friends, family members and with God,” Mr Pitso said.

He said it would feature 49 presentations each focusing on the theme of “loyalty”.

“There will also be 35 video segments plus two feature-length films that will be shown on Saturday and Sunday.

“The film, Hope For What You Do Not See, is a remake of the story of Job in a modern setting. It will highlight the practical lessons we can learn about remaining loyal despite intense suffering.

“The other feature film, O Jehovah I Trust In You, will illustrate how King Hezekiah ‘held fast to Jehovah’ while being besieged by his enemies and the lessons we can draw from his story.”

The other highlight of the convention will be a public discourse with the theme: “When will loyal love triumph over hatred?”

He also indicated there would be a baptism session for new converts. Each morning session will kick off with special music videos. The convention will draw delegates from all the 10 districts of Lesotho.
