Jehovah's Witness hold anual Convention in Hawaii
Added: (Mon Jun 12 2006)
Crowds accept invitations to “Deliverance”
Hilo Hawaii Cowds of Big Island residents will converge 9 AM on June 23 to the Edith Kanaka’ole Tennis Stadium for the start of the 2006 “Deliverance at Hand!” District Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
For the past three weeks, households in Hilo and all around the entire Big Island of Hawaii, have been offered attractive invitations about the convention as the Witnesses cordially invited them to attend the three-day event.
The program will emphasize that mankind needs deliverance from the effects of inherited sin and it’s consequence, death. Talks and symposiums will emphasize comforting scriptures that detail God’s loving provision for everlasting deliverance made possible my the sacrifice of this Son, Jesus Christ. Witnesses believe that current events fulfill Bible prophecies indicating that God’s day of reckoning is fast approaching. The need for deliverance will be explored as well, infusing the program with a tone of urgency.
Each day’s program will be based on a Bible passage that emphasizes reliance on God as the preeminent Deliverer of the righteous. The convention promises to stress compelling Scriptural reasons for taking decisive action when pondering the direction of one’s life.
Other outstanding features of the program include a baptism ceremony on Saturday and a Bible-based costumed drama presentation on Sunday. The drama will show how godly obedience is required in order for one to gain deliverance. All of the actors in the drama are from Kohala. Big Islanfd resident, Ray Seaver is the director.
The public discourse “Deliverance by God’s Kingdom Is at Hand!” will be presented on Sunday afternoon by Jeff Maielua, a traveling overseer on Hawaii Island. Maialua will discuss why there is a greater need for deliverance now than ever before and how God will provide salvation by means of His Kingdom in the hands of Christ Jesus. Witnesses note that millions of people are acquainted with the model prayer recorded at Matthew 6:9-13, in which Jesus taught his disciples to pray for that Kingdom.
Program sessions start at 9:30 a.m. each of the three days of the convention. Admission is free and no collections will be taken. Please Bob Lamb at the number below for more information.
