The final day of the “Love Never Fails”! International Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses will conclude with delegates from 23 countries taking the floor at NRG Stadium – waving goodbye to their Texan hosts. This second international convention event in Houston will also bid farewell to the city after a special summer that brought a combined 100,000+ visitors to the stadium and an excess of $100 million of economic impact.
“The impact of an event as big as this one coming to Harris County and coming to Houston is great and not just because of the diversity it brings,” states Lina Hidalgo, Harris County Judge. “That’s exciting to me; to see so many volunteers working to make an event a success.” More than 20,000 volunteers worked tirelessly to host some 5,500 international visitors who enjoyed both the convention and the area’s attractions over the past week.
On Sunday evening, the stage, videos screens, and equipment will be dismantled and trucked away while thousands of volunteers thoroughly clean the stadium. “It’s like having a big event and not having to do any work, because you guys do everything for us,” says Mark Miller, General Manager for NRG Park.
The Sunday program will begin at 9:20 am and conclude at 3:30 pm. The public is welcome and admission is free, with no collections taken at any time.
