Fremont: Streams Global Convention

Throughout July and August, Deonte McCall from Fremont has enjoyed the annual convention from Jehovah’s Witnesses titled, “Powerful by Faith!”. Deonte said, “The amazing video drama about Daniel has made the Bible much more relatable. I have learned that no matter what I may deal with, real faith can assist me to see past adversity.” Deonte feels the way the virtual program is presented is engaging, with music presentations, interviews, recorded dramatizations and brief lectures to reinforce the main points. He continued to say, “this convention has helped me and my wife set better priorities and goals.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses have made their “Powerful by Faith!” convention available globally online to millions. With the pandemic still threatening the public’s health, the religious organization made their 2021 convention available for streaming in over 500 languages, uniting some 15-20 million people in 240 countries.

The program is designed to encourage strong faith based on facts and evidence. The two-part film “Daniel: A Lifetime of Faith” relates the story of how the prophet Daniel’s faith helps him survive trials. The series of talks titled “Imitate Women of Strong Faith!” features past and present examples of faithful women worthy of imitation by all.

“Faith has helped our global brotherhood to continue to thrive even during a pandemic,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Our faith will continue to unite us in worship — even virtually — as millions gather in private homes around the world to enjoy a powerful and inspiring spiritual program.”

The event can be watched or downloaded by going to jw.org or JW Broadcasting on the free JW Library App or on streaming platforms. Released sessions and future sessions are free and accessible to all.
