The authority of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Nigeria, Monday, announced that witnesses will resume all forms of public witnessing with the exception of the door-to-door ministry.
The national spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Nigeria, Olusegun Eroyemi, in a statement he issued in Abuja, explained that this direction was received on May 31, 2022.
He said Jehovah’s Witnesses resumed in-person meetings on April 1, 2022, but kept their public preaching on virtual platforms.
“After over two years of carrying out their Bible teaching work virtually as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jehovah’s Witnesses will once again resume all forms of public witnessing, except for the door-to-door ministry.
“Jehovah’s Witnesses are happy with the opportunity to once again share their message of hope with their neighbors. While phone witnessing is very helpful, it has obvious limitations that will now be cared for with the resumption of our public ministry.
“They will now be seen in public places, including parks, ports, and streets; displaying their witnessing carts, and conducting Bible studies. They will carry out their public witnessing in compliance with existing government guidelines on COVID-19,” the statement said.
