Palm Desert: Streams Global Convention

Millions Join Virtually to Watch Global Event Online

For July and August, Janett Herrera from Coachella has enjoyed the annual convention from Jehovah’s Witnesses titled, “Powerful by Faith!”. Janett said, “I really enjoyed the symposium from Friday afternoon titled, ‘Use Creation to Build Your Faith’ because these talks helped me to realize that we don't always need a miracle to have faith in God but just see what he created ”. Janett feels this convention has helped her become a better mother and wife. She continued to say, “this convention has helped me to have stronger faith in these trying times.”
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.
