For July and August, Travis Dias from Novato has enjoyed the annual convention from Jehovah’s Witnesses titled, “Powerful by Faith!”. Travis said, “I especially enjoyed the Bible drama, ‘Daniel: A Lifetime of Faith—Part I’ because I was able to visualize this Bible account in new and exciting ways and connect with Daniel even more as a real person of faith.” Travis feels this convention has helped him see that faith is an active and dynamic quality that requires work, effort, and attention. He continued to say, “I feel that I have more reasons than ever to build and maintain strong faith in any circumstances.”
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.
