After a three-year pandemic pause, one of the largest convention organizations in the world has once again chosen Gambles, Antigua to host its global three-day event, the 2023 “Exercise Patience”! Convention.
Prior to 2019, summers in Antigua were marked by Jehovah’s Witnesses, along with local invitees and others from the region, attending their annual conventions at the Gambles Expandable Hall.
In 2020, the pandemic interrupted that tradition in Antigua when the Witnesses canceled their in-person events throughout the world and held their convention programs as virtual events in more than 500 languages.
Beginning July 21, 2023, the Witnesses will bring that tradition back to Gambles, Antigua.
“As much as we loved the convenience and quality of our virtual conventions, nothing can replace being together in a large group setting,” said Carl Harris, spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
“While our online conventions were good and we enjoyed them together as families in our homes, we long to get back to being in-person at these large gatherings.” Some 6,000 conventions will be held worldwide as part of the 2023 “Exercise Patience”! Convention series.
From Friday through Sunday, six convention sessions will explore the quality of patience, highlighting its modern-day relevance through Scriptural examples.
A live baptism will be performed following the Saturday morning session and a prerecorded drama will be featured in two parts during the Saturday and Sunday afternoon sessions.

However, maintaining patience in these stressful times is a constant battle.
Spending three days exploring aspects of this quality will be very timely for all of us.”
Jehovah’s Witnesses have been holding public conventions in stadiums, arenas, convention centers, and theaters around the world for more than 100 years.
After resuming smaller in-person meetings and their public ministry during 2022, the summer of 2023 marks the first time they will gather at much larger regional events around the world since the lifting of pan demic restrictions.
The convention is open to the public and no collection is taken.
