The annual convention series of Jehovah’s Witnesses in and around the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) begins this weekend at their Kwali Assembly Hall.

A statement issued by the convention organisers say the  theme of convention: “Be Courageous “  is apt at this critical times, adding that “we need courage more than ever at school, at work and when tragedy strikes’’.

Each weekend, beginning September 14 through December 23, delegates would be spiritually nourished and refreshed, the statement said.

The statement made known that the 3-day program consists of 54 presentations that will include talks, audio dramas, interviews, and short videos. Additionally, a feature film entitled, ‘’The Story of Jonah, A Lesson in Courage and Mercy’’ will be shown on the final day of the convention program. Each day, the morning and afternoon sessions will be introduced by music videos prepared specifically for the convention.

The Bible talks and interviews are expected help delegates learn practical ways they  can build courage to face today’s chaotic world. Also to be enjoyed are various videos where delegates would observe and learn lessons from real people, and even live animals about courage.

According to David A. Semonian, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses, states, “When you look at the news today, you can clearly see that people of all ages are dealing with more anxieties and fears than ever before. It takes courage to face these pressures. We welcome everyone to this year’s convention to benefit from the practical advice that’s contained in the Bible.”

Highlight of the convention program on Sunday, is a Bible discourse with the theme: “The Resurrection Hope Impacts Courage-How?”

The convention program would be conducted in English, Nigeria Pidgin, Yoruba, Igbo and the American Sign Language for those with hearing impaired.

Meanwhile, thousands of new members are expected to be ordained through water baptism.
