Campaign Promotes Perfect Government
Freetown, Sierra Leone – August 31, 2023 – Rhoda Terry smiles brightly and checks her tablet before knocking on her first door of the day. She has something important to discuss with her neighbors and digital or printed information to leave with them if they are interested. Rhoda Terry is campaigning, but not for herself or another person.
The Freetown, Sierra Leone resident is one of nearly 9 million Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide who are participating in a global campaign to bring attention to a universal solution to a better government: God’s Kingdom.
At a time when political reform is on the minds of many people, 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 Jehovah’s Witnesses from Monrovia, Liberia will distribute this timely magazine during the month of September.
“I’m eager to share this special magazine with my neighbors, because it offers hope for the problems we are all facing,” said Rhoda Terry. “God’s Kingdom is the solution and I think our community will respond very positively to this message.”
Throughout the centuries, millions of Jesus’ followers have prayed the words “thy Kingdom come” but wonder what this means. The Witnesses’ special-edition magazine will reference key Bible passages. Designed to appeal to both new and experienced Bible readers, the articles provide clear and simple explanations for:
- Why Do We Need God’s Kingdom?
- When Will God’s Kingdom Rule the Earth?
- What Will God’s Kingdom Accomplish?
“It’s no secret that many people feel we need better rulership, but few can agree on how to achieve this,” said Edgard Lacle spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “The good news is, Jesus will be the perfect ruler who can and will solve all the problems we are facing here on earth. Our campaign will bring this much-needed message of hope to our communities.”
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’ official website offers practical Bible-based content for people of all ages and beliefs in over 1,070 languages.
