Hilo, HI – August 2-4, 2024—It’s summer and the Eubank family could be planning a trip to a theme park, the beach, or even visiting grandparents for the weekend. Instead, Aaron and Kandace Eubank and their two children are eagerly anticipating a three-day convention with a few thousand people who will come to hear exciting, good news!
“This isn’t just a convention,” said Aaron of Hawi, Hawaii. “It’s a time to be together as a family and with friends and to be part of something that will keep us happy and hopeful. It’s also a great way to enjoy a weekend getaway in Hilo. Taking part in this convention feels like joining a big family reunion,” Aaron continued. “We get to connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and gain valuable insights that enrich our lives. It’s an event that brings us closer together and leaves us energized and inspired.”
One of the largest convention organizations in the world returns to Edith Kanaka’ole Multi-Purpose Stadium in Hilo with 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 on the weekend of August 2-4, 2024. The free, three-day live event is expected to draw more than 2,000 attendees to Hilo – fueling the city’s economy with local spending at stores, hotels and restaurants.
“We are excited to work once again with city officials in Hilo to host our convention,” said Robert Lamb, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “These conventions are a highlight of the year for thousands of people who want to experience some positivity in their lives, and we are happy to have the program in Hilo again, where the aloha spirit lives on.”
The “Declare the Good News”! convention will present Bible-based videos, discourses and interviews on topics such as…
- Why Do We Need Good News?
- The Good News According to Jesus
- Why We Don’t Fear Bad News
Saturday features a baptism of candidates from surrounding communities, while a two-part video feature will captivate the audience on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Prior to the 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.
