Today marks the last day of the Jehovah’s Witnesses convention which has seen over 4,000 Fijian speaking church members from around the country receiving assistance after the Church launched the final translation of the Fijian Bible.

The church members, who all converged at the Vodafone Arena, were all brought to their feet when the Church elders announced the launch of the "I-Vola Tabu", which saw a completion of 3-4 years of translation. Today is the last day for the three day convention which focuses on "Keeping Awake Spiritually."

So far in the past two days, new church literature has been released in Fijian, Hindi as well as in Chinese and Japanese.

There are two conventions being held simultaneously at the Vodafone Arena and the Kingdom Hall Vatuwaqa which has so far seen close to 5,000 in attendance from all over Fiji and Rotuma, with close to 200 other church members also holding simultaneous assemblies in Tuvalu and Kiribati.

This is sometimes a yearly or triannual gathering where Jehovah's Witnesses come together to strengthen their faith.

Meanwhile, a group of Methodist Church Ministers are currently visiting the Methodist Schools as part of their annual trips before Christmas break.

Acting General Secretary, Reverend Tevita Nawadra said the visit is to see the condition of the schools and if there are renovations and repairs are to be done.

Rev Nawadra said that money collected from the main SOLI will also pay for the repairs of the Methodist schools.

More than $300,000 has been collected from the various circuits of the Methodist Church locally and overseas.
