PHILIPPINES – June 20, 2022. As the war in Europe dominates the public’s attention, viewers in North Mindanao will unite with millions of others around the globe for the annual convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This year’s convention theme is “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 James Morales, Philippines 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.”
Virgilio Devera Jr, a resident of Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, relates: “We are most excited by the Bible drama. The whole family will surely be strengthened spiritually, including our children. As we see how God’s word helped his people in the past, we also meditate on how it can help our family today.”Virgilio, his wife Melody, and their three children will attend this year’s convention.
Jehovah’s Witnesses have been holding global conventions for more than 100 years. Following the practice of the past two years, this year’s virtual program will be released incrementally throughout July and August. The program’s first segment will be available for streaming or download beginning June 27, 2022.
All are invited to attend the event by going to jw.org on the web or JW Broadcasting on the free JW Library app, or on streaming platforms such as ROKU TV or Apple TV. The program is free and accessible to all.
The three-day convention will be available in six parts, each corresponding to a half-day of content. Topics to be explored are:
