One of the largest organizers of global conventions will once again draw thousands to Ontario
Ontario Convention News
Ontario – JULY 2024—It is summertime, and Hannah Maisel could be headed to a theme park, the beach, or even visiting grandparents for the weekend. Instead, she is eagerly anticipating a three-day convention with several thousand people who will come to hear exciting good news!
“Spending three days with my family among a loving community, all focused on the good news that the Bible offers is an oasis,” said Hannah of Ontario, who has attended conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses for 31 years. “I’ve often heard attendees express that the convention is exactly what they need, right when they need it.”
One of the largest convention organizations in the world returns to the Toyota Arena in Ontario 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 series beginning the weekend of July 12. The free, three-day live event is expected to draw more than 28,000 attendees to the city over the course of four weekends – fueling the city’s economy with local spending at stores, hotels and restaurants.
“The Toyota Arena is a well-kept, beautiful facility in an ideal location, where people can enjoy three days of instruction and comfort,” said Derek Adams, local spokesperson for
Jehovah’s Witnesses. “This year’s program is geared to help everyone face the growing amount of bad news in the world but not be overwhelmed by it. All who attend will learn how to be better people in all aspects of life and how to share positivity with everyone in the community.”
The “Declare the Good News!” convention will present Bible-based videos, discourses and interviews on topics such as…
•
Why We Don’t Fear Bad News
•
Feature Bible Drama: The Good News According to Jesus
•
Messianic Prophecy Fulfilled
Saturday spotlights a baptism of candidates from surrounding communities, while a two part 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.
