This was one of many gatherings held in Poland.

"People professing different religions pray for the Kingdom of God to come. During this congress the participants could learn about this Kingdom and what its positive influence upon our lives. The programme featured an interesting point - the key-note address. The speech  discussed the benefits that the Kingdom of God brings for people today"- says Mr. Marek Lasek, a spokesman for the Convention. " Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus Christ began to reign as Lord of the Kingdom of God in 1914. This is a fundamental teaching based on biblical and historical evidence. The congress' focal point was the centenary of this event we celebrate this year "- the spokesman added.
