Welcome!

Your spiritual family is delighted to warmly invite you to Aotearoa—the Māori name for New Zealand. We can’t wait to meet you in our convention city of Auckland—known as the City of Sails!

New Zealanders are a diverse people—from Māori, the tangata whenua (people of the land), to settlers from every corner of the globe. We will greet you in many languages and with smiling faces.

Living in a country full of natural wonders, we truly value being able to see evidence of Jehovah’s “invisible qualities.” (Rom. 1:20) We are eager for you to enjoy these natural treasures too. Perhaps you can take a little extra time to holiday here, among the snow-capped mountains, stunning lakes and rivers, spectacular fjords, pristine glaciers, and majestic native forests.

We are especially excited for the 2025 special convention as all publishers gather together at one venue for the first time in nearly half a century! Please come and share our joy as we praise Jehovah at “the ends of the earth.”—Isa. 42:10.

With love,

Your brothers and sisters in New Zealand!
