“Imagine attending an assembly in your own language, even if it’s not widely spoken.” That’s exactly what happened right here at the Salón de Asambleas de los Testigos de Jehová in Cali. This venue, more than just a building, has been a beacon of inclusivity, hosting a unique event that touched the hearts of many. Back in March 2023, the Salón de Asambleas de los Testigos de Jehová was the site of a first-of-its-kind assembly. The regular Spanish circuit assembly program was simultaneously interpreted into Guambiano and Emberá (Chamí) – two indigenous languages of Colombia. This was a momentous occasion, especially for the Guambiano and Emberá (Chamí) communities, who previously had to attend assemblies in Spanish, a language many didn’t fully understand. Imagine the joy and understanding that filled the hall as over 1,600 attendees, including 48 Guambiano and 78 Emberá (Chamí) speakers, were able to hear the program in their native tongues. The Salón de Asambleas de los Testigos de Jehová, with its commitment to accessibility, demonstrated the unifying power of language. It wasn’t just about words being translated. It was about hearts being touched and faith being strengthened, proving that at the Salón de Asambleas de los Testigos de Jehová, everyone is welcome to hear Jehovah’s message in a language that speaks to their soul.
