In a climate of conflicting attitudes toward God, how can the faithful withstand constant attacks on their belief in God? What evidence about God’s existence is there for nonbelievers to examine?{{more}}
Intriguing answers to these questions will be explored during the Witnesses’ 2010-2011 “Remain Close to Jehovah!” District Convention to be held at Lamberto Macias Sports & Cultural Center.
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that a strong relationship with God is vital for spiritual well-being and personal happiness.
Starting this weekend and continuing for the next three weeks, Jehovah’s Witnesses will extend a personal invitation to everyone from Dumaguete to Basay from the south and to Escalante City from the north to attend.
The first of three-day events to be held in Dumaguete will begin Friday, Dec. 24 at 8:20 a.m.
The theme is based on several passages of the Bible, including Joshua 23:8, Psalm 73:28, Proverbs 3:32, and the key text at James 4:8.
Strengthening one’s spirituality will be the focus of the program. Admission to the convention is free, and no collections will be taken.
Locally, all of the area’s 48 Witness congregations will be supporting the activity of distributing attractively printed invitations to the convention. An estimated 3,000 will attend the convention.
Throughout the Philippines, there will be 104 conventions in 72 locations. Worldwide, there are over 7,300,000 Witnesses in more than 105,000 congregations.
