The Jehova’s Witnesses are set to mobilize over 9 million volunteers in a global campaign to end wars.
To this end, they will launch a global campaign in September that will inform the public about a Bible-based solution to end all wars, even as terror and bloodshed continue to ravage the world in large-scale conflicts.
The religious sect worldwide will distribute The Watchtower No.1 2025 Edition, titled “An End to War – How?”
A spokesman of the group in Nigeria, Mr Olusegun Oroyemi, who said the world was at a time where violent conflicts and large-scale wars were surging, expressed the belief that the magazine would bring hope, not only to the millions of people suffering from the violence that war inflicted but also, to anyone who was searching for peace in their life.
‘The concise but comprehensive magazine covers topics, such as: Why War and Violent Conflict Continue; How War and Violent Conflict Will End; Finding Peace Despite War and Violent Conflict.
‘Perhaps the most intriguing subject covered in the magazine is the comforting answer to the question: ”Will we ever see a time when there is no more war?” The solution, which goes back to a simple statement that Jesus’ made in the familiar model prayer, sometimes called the Lord’s Prayer, will especially resonate with those who have been waiting for governments to bring about change,’ Eroyemi said.
He disclosed that during the month-long campaign, the Witnesses would also invite community members to a special talk with the same theme as the featured magazine. He said the 30-minute discourse was open to the public and would be presented worldwide at their places of worship called Kingdom Halls.
‘No collections are ever taken at any of the non-profit’s events. We invite all to attend. For many, what they will hear will not only be comforting but also life changing,’ Eroyemi further disclosed.
