Members of the religious faith, Jehovah’s Witnesses, are excited over the resumption of their signature door-to-door ministry after a few years of hiatus.
The well-known door-to-door ministry was earlier suspended by authorities of the church due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought the globe to its knees in 2020.
In a statement issued by the Nigeria Branch Office of Jehovah’s Witnesses, it was stated that the street preaching of the gospel resumed on Thursday, September 1, 2022, across the globe.
It was further disclosed that a special global campaign was launched to offer members of the public a free interactive Bible course.
“We can’t wait to bring our Bible-based message of hope to our neighbours once again,” says Olusegun Eroyemi, Nigeria spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “As global crises escalate on all fronts it is a huge privilege to bring real smiles on the faces of our friends in person.”
Witnesses conducted an average of five million Bible courses around the globe during each month of last year. The program offers a practical way to learn what the Bible teaches on a variety of subjects, such as how to find happiness, why there is so much evil and suffering in the world, and what the Bible promises for the future.
Participating in the interactive Bible course with Jehovah’s Witnesses comes without any obligation. The Witnesses simply present what the Bible teaches and allow each person to determine their own personal beliefs and life choices.
The main textbook for the study is the Bible itself. Each lesson is designed to be covered in one hour.
