Declare the Good News Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses

11 October @ 9:30 am - 13 October @ 4:00 pm AEDT

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 9:30 am on Friday, repeating until Sunday 13 October, 2024

Free

More than 3,600 people, some from as far as Goondiwindi, Lightning Ridge and Stanthorpe, will attend the “Declare the Good News!” 2024 Convention presented by Jehovah’s Witnesses this October.

Running from Friday to Sunday (4-6 October), and repeating the following week (11-13 October), the free public events plan to deliver only good news.   

“We are excited to join with the community in Tamworth again to host our 85th annual convention in the city,” says Joshua Wilson, Spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses.  

“These conventions are a highlight of the year for thousands of people, who now more than ever want to experience some positivity and good news in their lives.”   

The event is one of 56 to be held around Australia, with more than 80,000 anticipated to attend. Last year, nearly 13 million people attended more than 6,000 conventions worldwide. 

Designed to comfort and encourage, the program will feature 64 Bible-based videos, interviews, talks and symposiums to provide practical guidance to people of all ages.  

“The program will include topics such as why we need good news, how we can use it to defeat bad news, and why we don’t need to fear bad news,” Joshua says. 

“The three-day event is designed to inspire confidence and build hope in the future.” 

A special feature of this year’s convention will be the debut of the first episode from a new 1,000-minute epic of Jesus’ life, entitled The Good News According to Jesus. Produced entirely by an all-volunteer cast and crew in Sydney, the 18-part series is a culmination of more than five years of dedicated work and more than a century of research. 

Jehovah’s Witnesses have been active in Tamworth since 1919 and held their first convention in the city in 1939.  

All of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ meetings, conventions, Bible study aids and videos are free of charge and available to the public. No collections are ever taken.
