Greetings Brethren.
We hope all of you had a wonderful fall Feast, and that you have returned home safely. Our Kenyan brethren will be keeping this year’s fall Feast this Month, yes, in October.
I’m sure you are aware that not everyone keeps the calculated Hebrew calendar. I hope no one gets offended? Which calendar one follows is his own choice. One needs to prove for himself, which is correct. And we are all at different levels of understanding. But our goal is Truth, to be walking in Truth. And remember, we are to be growing in grace and in knowledge of our Lord.
Some have thought that I introduced a calendar to our Kenyan brethren, but that is not so, When I first visited Kenya back in 2005, to my surprise, I found them keeping the same exact calendar that I keep. Oh, and now that I think about it, the brethren I met in Tanzania, when first visiting there were also on the same calendar. Keeping the “appointed times” on the same exact days.
Don’t believe those who say there is no calendar in the Scriptures, that is another false teaching. The Scriptures are quite clear, and quite simple to understand, concerning God’s calendar. And let us also remember, God’s words are hidden from some. But thankfully given to babes. Strong’s #3516 meaning simple minded. (Matthew 11:25)
There is a short study that lists the Scriptures pertaining to God’s calendar, titled: “God’s Heavenly Calendar” (If you’re interested, the link is below.)
Now back to the Feast. We want to thank all of you who have been continuing to help our impoverished brethren. The suffering is still quite severe. But all of your donations, continue to reach them, and they very much appreciate all of your help, we thank God for that.
We also want to thank those who sent in extra earmarked “Feast”. We were able to put those funds to the side. So, our brethren will be eating and rejoicing quite well at this year’s Feast, thanks to your Love and assistance.
This year’s Feast in Kenya, is going to be wonderful. Especially being the feast funds you sent, came in early (That was a Huge Blessing.) Giving them the much-needed time to prepare. We already purchased the fire wood needed for cooking weeks ago, and it’s been drying out.

Thanks to your assistance, the brethren will be eating three square meals a day at the Feast. That will be so Wonderful. Yes, plenty of physical food. We also hope to have plenty of Spiritual food as well. So please pray for our messages to contain Truth, and nothing but Truth. Truth is what defines the true church of the Living God. (1 Timothy 3:15).
“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”
If we want to find His one true church, we need only to look where truth is being preached. And let us also remember that we are living at the time when the way of Truth is evil spoken of. (2 Peter 2:1-2).
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
There will be two sites this year. One at the border next to the Maasai. (And the other at our camp in Sengera. If you haven’t seen the Feast info page, it’s posted year-round at: https://khofh.com/fot/
The Maasai (or Masai) people are an East African tribe who today principally occupy the territory of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania, and who speak the language of the same name. They thrive on animal husbandry, especially the herding of cattle.
Traditional Masai lifestyle centers around their cattle which constitute their primary source of food. The measure of a man’s wealth is in terms of cattle and children. A herd of 50 cattle is respectable, and the more children the better. A man who has plenty of one but not the other is considered to be poor.
Masai warriors are particularly famous for their height, stamina, and striking red hair and their success in warfare brought them domination of the Rift Valley grasslands. The Masai Mara game reserve in southern Kenya is named in honor of the tribe which still lives there. We have brethren that are of the Masai.
Elder John Magara is still sleeping on the floor in the hallway of the Hospital. And still restricted, he is not allowed to have a mattress or a blanket. The authorities there are totally inhumane. We did get them to lower the bill (John was originally admitted and treated for three days for pneumonia.) That was well over a Month ago. But being he didn’t have the funds to pay; he continues to suffer, sleeping on the floor, and only able to eat when someone sends him money. (The Hospital John is in, like many Hospitals in Kenya, do not supply food to their patients.) But your donations have been helping us feed him. We were also able to get them to drop the bill to 55,000 Kenya Schillings ($425.) But we still do not have.
At the Getionko camp, your donations have been keeping those orphans alive with porridge. Although some nights they still sleep hungry. (That’s why when your funds come in, they go right back out, and to those suffering the most first.)
The gardens continue to do well.
Bananas.
Also, deceased widow Nyaboke Daniel is still at the mortuary, and Douglas continues to be pressured by the authorities to pay, and bury her. Yes, the afflictions of the widows and orphans are many. (James 1:27).
At the top of our prayer list, we need to pray “Thy Kingdom Come”. Because many around this world are really suffering. Thankfully, the signs of the times, clearly show us that the time of our Lord’s return is near.
Please Note: I will add to this letter, in the upcoming days.(Hoping to add some pictures that I should have soon. We want to show you how well the crops are doing, and how your support is helping them. But for now I wanted to get this letter out. Hoping some of you will continue helping. And please, if you have questions, or just want to talk a bit, My phone is listed below. Please feel free to call anytime.
So, thank you for continuing to help our impoverished brethren. especially the orphans and widows. Please continue to help them, they are true members of the Household of Faith. (Galatians 6:10).
Thank You.
