Treasure Valley Event Promotes Pursuit of Peace

Against the tragic backdrop of a historic conflict in Europe, Treasure Valley Jehovah’s Witnesses will unite with millions around the globe to promote the timely theme “Pursue Peace."

“This convention is an object lesson in how peace is being achieved by a global community right now as it unites millions of people even in areas of conflict like Ukraine and Russia,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “The power of the principles being discussed transcends national borders, ethnic differences, and language barriers. Both individuals and families will benefit from attending the program.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses have been holding global conventions for more than 100 years, the last three years featuring virtual events accessed through the free JW Library app or at jw.org. All are invited to attend the program at no charge.

Prior to 2020, Jehovah’s Witnesses held their annual convention locally at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa. While they hope to host large in-person gatherings again in the future, the decision was made late last year to again hold the 2022 convention virtually.

Topics that are covered include:

• What people from around the world are doing to enjoy peace.
• How love leads to inner peace and peace with others.
• Why the Bible can be called “the road map to family peace.”
• How to attain peace even when suffering illness, economic problems, natural disasters, or other difficulties.
• Why friendship with God can lead to true peace.

The convention will conclude with the exciting presentation, “Universal Peace is Sure to Come!”

All are invited to attend the event by going to jw.org on the web or JW Broadcasting on the free JW Library app available for iOS or Android or on streaming platforms like ROKU TV, Apple TV, and others.
