Jehovah Witness convention June 28-30

TULSA – It’s summertime and the Green family could be headed to a theme park, the beach or even visiting grandparents for the weekend. Instead, Brice and Amy Green and their two kids are eagerly anticipating a three-day convention with a few thousand people who will come to hear exciting good news.

“My family and I look forward to the convention every year,” said Brice. “It’s hard to describe the overwhelming love we feel among our friends and those who attend from all over the area. We’re united by our desire to learn and apply Bible principles, which help us live happy and satisfying lives.”

One of the largest convention organizations in the world returns to the Donald W. Reynolds Center in Tulsa 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 the weekend of June 28-30.

The free three-day event is expected to draw more than 4,000 attendees to the city over the weekend – fueling the city’s economy with local spending at stores, hotels and restaurants.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with members of the community and with Tulsa city officials to host our convention,” said Bryan Collins, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Worldwide, our annual conventions are a highlight of the year for millions of people looking for the positive experience they provide. And we are happy to once again see the beauty and hospitality of the city of Tulsa as we enjoy this year’s program.”

The “Declare the Good News!” convention will present Biblebased video, discourse and interviews on topics such as … – Why do we need good news?

– Use the good news to defeat bad news.

– Why we don’t fear bad news.

Saturday features a baptism of candidates from surrounding communities, while a twopart 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.
