HUDSON VALLEY- At a time when the desire for better government is on the minds of people the world over, Jehovah’s Witnesses will launch an international campaign to bring attention to a universal solution. The Witnesses will feature a special edition of “The Watchtower” magazine, available in over 780 languages in print and online, with the theme “What Is God’s Kingdom?”
Local volunteers from the Hudson Valley will distribute this special-edition magazine during the month of September.
“The topic of better government is timely. Everyone wants it right now and is looking towards something to provide a better way of life,” said Jennifer Raynor, a resident of Wappingers Falls. “This is one subject that covers every aspect of relief that we could get from the trouble that we see in the world today.”
Throughout the centuries, millions of Jesus’ followers have prayed the words “thy Kingdom come” but wonder what that Kingdom is, what it will accomplish, and when it will come. To answer those age-old questions, the Witnesses’ special-edition magazine will reference key Bible passages. The clear and simple explanations have been designed to appeal to both new and experienced Bible readers.
“Better rulership is something everyone wants, but attempts to achieve it have not been successful,” said Eric Muñoz, spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “The focus of this campaign is to give our communities a hopeful message of the perfect ruler. Jesus is the perfect ruler who will solve all the problems we face on earth.”
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jehovah’s Witnesses distributed millions of this special-edition magazine through letters, even sending copies to thousands of government officials worldwide. Now that they have returned to their door-to-door public ministry post pandemic, this will be the first in-person campaign where they will have the opportunity to discuss the important and very timely subject with their neighbors.
A free digital copy of this special issue of “The Watchtower,” as well as information about the activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses, is available at jw.org. The Witnesses’ site offers practical Bible-based content for people of all ages and beliefs in over 1,070 languages.
