FACING THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE

During difficult economic times, diplomatic disagreements, and dramatic social changes, surveys have shown that people’s confidence in the future is at its lowest in countries such as the United States. According to the 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer, 24 of the 28 countries surveyed are seeing “all-time lows in the number of people who think their families will be better off in five years.”

Against this backdrop of pessimism, a special global program featuring the theme, “You Can Face the Future With Confidence!” will be held on the weekend of April 1-2, 2023. A free 30-minute presentation will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, with a videoconferencing option available. Please check the “Attend a Meeting” section on the homepage of jw.org for local addresses and meeting times.

“The challenges we face may seem overwhelming, but the Bible holds out a powerful hope for the future that can help us right now,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “This global program is designed to give all those who attend tangible reasons to face the future with confidence.”

During the first week in April, all 118,000 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses will be hosting two free events, starting with a special talk. Everyone is invited to join the 20 million global participants for the annual Memorial of Jesus Christ’s death that will be held on the evening of Tuesday, April 4, 2023.

 Admission to both programs is free, and no registration is required. Check jw.org, the website of Jehovah’s Witnesses, for more information about when and where these events will take place in your area.
