Visitors

Visitors are persons attending the Assembly part of the time or full-time. Normally these persons are individual members of a member church, from which an endorsement is requested. They have the right neither to speak nor to vote. (For full information about categories of Assembly participants)

• Full-time Visitors must register in advance. They must secure endorsement of their church (i.e. their local LWF member church) and must complete a registration form through the Assembly Office in Geneva.

• Visitors may attend Assembly worship and plenary sessions (including Bible Study presentations and open hearings) as space permits. There will be room for about 2,000 visitors in the plenary hall. Worship will take place in local churches. Visitors cannot participate in Village Groups. The Sunday Celebration at The Forks is open to all.

• In plenary sessions, Visitors have neither the right to speak nor to vote.

• Visitors must pay their own costs and make their own travel and visa arrangements.

• Full-time Visitors must pay a registration fee of USD 150, in advance. They will receive Assembly publications and the Assembly Songbook.

• Full-time Visitors may register for the meal plan which will cost approximately CAD 75 per day. 

• Day Visitors are individuals who wish to attend Assembly sessions on only one day or a few days. They do not register in advance, but register on site at the Assembly. They do not pay the Assembly registration fee and therefore do not receive Assembly documents. Day Visitors cannot participate in the meal program. There is a daily cost of CAD 10 which allows them to join the morning and afternoon refreshment breaks, and thus to meet with registered participants.

• All Visitors must make their own accommodation arrangements through Tourism Winnipeg, a local agency prepared to handle Assembly Visitors. 

• No program has been planned for children. Their care is the responsibility of parents.

• Displays and exhibits will be open to the public.

• Visitors may join the Pre- and Post-Assembly Visitation Program provided there is space. 

Full-time Visitors

If you wish to be a full-time Visitor at the Assembly, please contact the head office of your church. Indicate your desire to attend the Assembly, and request that an endorsement letter (with your name and contact information) be sent on your behalf to the Assembly Office. 

Day Visitors

Day Visitors do not register for the Assembly in advance, but register on site. There is a daily cost of CAD 10 which allows them to join the morning and afternoon refreshment breaks, and thus to meet with registered participants.
