A Worldwide Campaign Shares a Message of Hope

More than 9 million Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world are inviting the public to two events designed to educate the community about the Bible’s promise of a better future.

Annual Observance Of The Lord’s Evening Meal

On the evening of 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.

“The life and teachings of Jesus have great significance to so many around the world. We hope this event, an observance recognized by Christians continuously for almost 2,000 years, helps visitors see how it connects us to a wonderful hope,” said Mzamo Goloda, spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in South Africa.

Global Campaign And Special Public Talk

During the campaign, the Witnesses will also extend an invitation to a special public talk titled “Who Will Restore the Earth?” It will be delivered on March 29, 2026 in the more than 118,000 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.

The 30-minute program will address what the Bible says about:

Man’s relationship to the earth
Earth’s future restoration
How to benefit from the Bible’s promises

Historical Significance Of The Observance

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.
