A Global Campaign Offers Practical Solutions for Life’s Problems
OAKRIDGE –
Members of the Oakridge Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses will be among the more than eight million volunteers worldwide who will participate in a global campaign in September to extend the offer of a free Bible course to community members.
The Witnesses organize yearly special campaigns to raise awareness of how the Scriptures address the concerns of the public. “We received many positive experiences from the special campaign we had in September 2022, which focused on Bible studies,” said Teddy Strebe, local spokesperson for the nonprofit organization. “We want to build on that positive feedback and keep the door open to our community to learn about the answers found in the Bible.”
An interactive and concise three-lesson brochure titled “Enjoy Life Forever!” is included in the campaign and explains what the Bible teaches on these subjects
- How Can the Bible Help You?
- The Bible Gives Hope for the Future.
- Can You Trust the Bible?
“Participating in this Bible study course does not obligate a person to become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses,” says Strebe. “We are pleased just to present what the Bible teaches so that people can benefit from this rich source of wisdom and guidance.”
The course comes with an extended learning option that details how to apply time-tested Bible-based advice for making good decisions, building lasting friendships and cultivating a happy family life.
Anyone interested can meet with an instructor either in person or virtually and at a time convenient for the individual. In 2023, the Witnesses conducted an average of more than seven million Bible studies each month in some 240 lands.
