One of the largest organizers of global conventions will once again draw thousands to Cagayan de Oro City.
Vacation season’s almost over, and the Hingpit family could be headed to the mall, the beach, or even visiting relatives for the weekend. Instead, Eleazar and Ivy Rose and their 3 kids, Zaijan, Ivan and James, are eagerly anticipating a three-day convention with a few thousand people who will come to hear exciting, good news!
“This isn’t just a convention,” said Eleazar, of Barra, Opol. “It’s a time to be together as a family and with friends and to be part of something that will keep us happy and hopeful. It’s also a great way to enjoy a weekend getaway in a fun city.”
One of the largest convention organizations in the world returns to The Atrium of Limketkai Center in Cagayan de Oro on July 12 to 14, 2024 with a much-anticipated motivational program to comfort and encourage the public.
In a world where bad news endlessly streams on social media, TV and radio, Jehovah’s Witnesses will present their 2024 “Declare the Good News”! convention series which already began during the weekend of June 28-30, 2024. The free, three-day live event is expected to draw more than ten thousand attendees to the city over the course of four weekends – fueling the city’s economy with local spending at stores, hotels and restaurants.
“We are excited to work once again with city officials in Cagayan de Oro to host our conventions,” said Arnel Salape, spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Northern Mindanao. “These conventions are a highlight of the year for thousands of people who want to experience some positivity in their lives, and we are happy to enjoy the program once again in this welcoming and hospitable city.”
The “Declare the Good News”! convention will present Bible-based videos, discourses and interviews on topics such as…
• Why Do We Need Good News?
• What Will You Do for the Sake of the Good News?
• Why We Don’t Fear Bad News
Saturday features a baptism of candidates from surrounding communities, while a two-part video feature will captivate the audience on Friday and Saturday mornings. Prior to each convention, local congregations will engage in a campaign to invite community members to this free event.
Last year, nearly 13 million people attended more than 6,000 three-day conventions worldwide. To learn more about this free convention and to find a location near you, please visit jw.org
