More than 40,000 delegates are expected to throng the Convention Grounds of Jehovah’s Witnesses at Nyanyanu, near Kasoa,in the Central Region for a three-day annual District Convention being organized on the theme: “Safeguard Your Heart”.
The convention, which promises a fresh examination of biblical references to the figurative heart, would feature lively discourses, dramatic bible readings and presentations, and a live drama.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Accra ahead of the convention slated for Friday 9th November 2012 to Sunday November 11th 2012, Mr. Samuel Gaskin, the Local Media Contact for the Witnesses’ Convention, told the Ghana News Agency that the convention would lay emphasis on how “protecting the figurative heart will enhance one’s spiritual well-being, family life and happiness”.
He said daily themes and titles of the programme would be based on passages of the scripture including 1 Samuel 16:7, 1 Chronicles 28:9, and Matthew 12:34.
Mr Gaskin said: “The convention theme, “Safeguard Your Heart!” is based on Proverbs 4:23” and added that admission to the convention was free.
Throughout Ghana, there would be 97 conventions in 27 cities. The first of the 11 three-day successive events in Accra alone, has already taken place at Baatsona in Accra on Friday October 5, 2012.
Worldwide, Jehovah’s Witnesses number more than 7,600,000 and are active in more than 236 countries.
