Jehovah's Witnesses Stream Annual Convention in Menlo Park

For July and August, Marco Carrizales from Menlo Park has enjoyed the annual convention from Jehovah’s Witnesses titled, “Powerful by Faith!”. Marco said, “I can relate to the man’s experience in the Saturday morning Symposium: Remember – Faithless People Can Acquire Faith! - Prominent Ones. I understand the way he was feeling. People think they will be happy and successful with money. Even though I have a degree, I too, felt empty. Marco feels this convention has helped him be determined to be a successful husband and father, focusing on the continuous spiritual needs of his family. He continued to say, “after studying the Bible with Jehovah’s Witnesses I learned what true happiness is...a good relationship with God and having a clean conscience.”

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.
