The need for halls is growing. The number of Witnesses grew by over 1,900 between 1990 and 1993. There was a new peak of 8,392 in 174 congregations in June 1993. The attendance at the six “Divine Teaching” District Conventions (1993) was 19,433. There were 44,476 at the Memorial in April 1993. And Jehovah’s Witnesses are now the largest religious group in Carrefour, where the first Port-au-Prince congregation was formed.
