MORE than nine million followers of the religious sect Jehovah’s Witness around the world are expected to attend two public events designed to educate the community about the Bible’s promise of a better future.
On Thursday, April 2, 2026, the annual observance of the Lord’s Evening Meal will feature a talk highlighting what Jesus taught about mankind’s future.
“While many today feels uncertain about the future, the Bible offers something rare—real hope. This event speaks how the life and teachings of Jesus have a great significance to each individual around the world. This life-changing truth gives people a reason to look ahead with confidence, not anxiety,” Normito Zapata Jr., spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Metro Manila said in a statement.
During the campaign, the devotees will also extend an invitation to a special public talk titled “Who Will Restore the Earth?” to be delivered in March before over 118,000-strong congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.
The 30-minute program will address what the Bible says about mankind’s relationship to the earth, the arth’s future restoration, and how to benefit from the Bible’s promises.
It was almost 2,000 years ago on Nisan 14 of the Jewish calendar, 33 C.E., that Jesus instituted the Lord’s Evening Meal with his apostles. That evening, Jesus commanded, as recorded at Luke 22:19, “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”
The Witnesses obey that commandment every year on the corresponding day as a reminder of how the biblical hope of a restored earth is possible. More than 21 million people attended the Lord’s Evening Meal last year.
