The convention featured talks and illustrations in English, French, and Pidgin English. The denomination also received at least 700 new members who got baptized during the convention.
The convention was the very first mass gathering of Jehovah’s Witness Christians during the post-COVID-19 lockdown. The same program is expected to take place in Yaounde from July 21–23, 2023.
