Saturday will mark the most important day in the lives of hundreds who will be attending the “Love Never Fails”! International Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses, as they symbolize their life-long dedication through water baptism at NRG Stadium.

“Making a personal dedication to God and symbolizing that through water baptism is the most important step in a Christian’s life,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “This is one of the highlights of the convention for all those who will attend.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses practice full-body immersion when baptizing. The event will

begin with a discourse at 11:45 a.m. followed by the baptism, which will happen in four pools on the floor at NRG Stadium so all can witness the event.

The convention began Friday after several days of preparation by more than 4,000 local volunteers. The entire stadium was thoroughly cleaned in preparation for the massive move-in, when trucks delivered equipment to erect a stage, build video screens, and set up volunteer departments throughout the venue.

The “Love Never Fails”! International Convention in Houston is part of the global convention series spanning six continents, 200+ countries and is being presented in 400 languages. Millions of invitations have been distributed worldwide for the public to attend this free event. “If you called this a modern-day miracle, you would be right,” said Hendriks. “This international spiritual family has no boundaries based on nation, race, ethnicity or tongue. There is nothing like it in the world!”

This convention is open to the public and runs through Sunday, August 25. The program is presented entirely in Spanish. Admission is free and no collections are taken.
