Dixon: Streams Global Convention

For July and August, Jonathan Angello from Dixon has enjoyed the annual convention from Jehovah’s Witnesses titled, “Powerful by Faith!”. Jonathan said, “Saturday's Symposium entitled, ‘Successful Fighters for the Faith’, has helped me to think about those that are faithfully serving God despite difficult circumstances in my community. Many do not have the support of their family to help them serve God.” Jonathan continued, “The information has helped me to be more aware and to look for opportunities to be supportive to members of the congregation in harmony with Philippians 2:4, which reminds us to look out for the interests of others and not just our own interests.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses have made their “Powerful by Faith!” convention available globally online to millions. With the pandemic still threatening the public’s health, the religious organization made their 2021 convention available for streaming in over 500 languages, uniting some 15-20 million people in 240 countries.

The program is designed to encourage strong faith based on facts and evidence. The two-part film “Daniel: A Lifetime of Faith” relates the story of how the prophet Daniel’s faith helps him survive trials. The series of talks titled “Imitate Women of Strong Faith!” features past and present examples of faithful women worthy of imitation by all.

“Faith has helped our global brotherhood to continue to thrive even during a pandemic,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Our faith will continue to unite us in worship — even virtually — as millions gather in private homes around the world to enjoy a powerful and inspiring spiritual program.”

The event can be watched or downloaded by going to jw.org or JW Broadcasting on the free JW Library App or on streaming platforms. Released sessions and future sessions are free and accessible to all.
