NO fewer than 4,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses are to converge on Lagos and Mowe in Ogun for their 2024 convention aimed at extending the frontiers of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The convention is also aimed at seeking God’s face and charting the way forward.
According to the spokesperson for the regional convention, Mr Jahswill Obi, the three-day annual convention would begin on Aug. 9.
Obi spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Friday.
He said that the region C convention would take place at Lekki and Badagry in Lagos State, and Mowe in Ogun, with the theme: “Declare the Good News”.
He said that the event would feature community evangelism on ‘Why We Need Good News’ as well as Christian video presentations, among other activities.
Obi said: “In the face of economically and socially-challenging times, people are looking for something that will inspire them, something positive that can bring them some relief.
“The convention is fashioned to inspire people.”
The spokesperson said that the convention remained a key gathering of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
“The August retreat will provide a holiday alternative to families to bond in an oriental atmosphere.
“Thirteen million people attended the 2023 edition at various centres across the world.
“This year will record a greater number of people with greater expectations,” he said.
