Letter to the Brethren: October 15, 2026

Dear Brethren and Co-Workers in Christ:

Greetings to all of you from the Five Cities region of California.

Feast of Tabernacles: Canada, Ghana, and More Reports for Malawi and Mozambique

Steve Dupuie sent the following:

Greetings Dr. Thiel

Please pardon my delayed report on the Feast of Tabernacles we held in Canada.

There were 9 adults and 4 children attending. With one additional adult with his son attending for the first time – 15 in all. Three of us were from the USA (for one this was their first time in a “foreign” country), and the rest were from Canada.

Like all our feasts of the past, this one was also attended by Jesus Christ, Who now resides in the third heaven. From a spiritual side we dined on the Word of God from streaming videos from Australia, and the USA, as well as live sermons and sermonettes from the brethren in Canada.

From the physical side there was no shortage of food for all our heart’s desire. Some of us attended a play held in an auditorium built and dedicated to the performing arts. The acting was definitely at a professional level.

Of course, we also took a day trip to Niagara Falls, which for me is always worth the visit. Since the Sabbath was fast approaching none of us went over the falls in a barrel – maybe next time.

Overseeing Pastor Samuel Ofosu sent the following related to Ghana:

Dr. Bob,

Greetings from Pastor Samuel Ofosu Gyeabour to you and the entire family of God USA.

Indeed, your benevolent support enable us to celebrate the feast of Tabernacles in a grand style. The pictures you see are The women fellowship and the youth fellowship.

We really enjoyed a great feast with our theme: GOD’S PROMISES ARE REAL.

Last week, pastor Radson Mulozowa provided reports about our other sites in Malawi and Mozambique (see Letter to the Brethren: October 8, 2026).

YouTube

Although YouTube and its parent company Alphabet (AKA Google) continue to discourage people from finding our content, we still are reaching many through them.

At the Feast of Tabernacles in Brisbane, Australia, Shirley Gestro-White proposed another channel for us that would emphasize prophetic aspects of the work. As many are interested in prophecy, this could be another door being opened (Revelation 3:7-8).

We plan to announce more about that once it is in place.

Ezekiel Ombaso Oanda sent me the following in an email from Kisii, Kenya:

I have received a good and positive report from the government officials who attended the feast one day with me here. Some of them have shown interest to join us. Please pray for them too. They were happy on how the church is organized doing good things that other churches are not going.

 Also another good thing is that a friend of mine and I started a Bible class here. We started a satellite class but it’s growing. Right now we have more than 70 students attending. I didn’t mention this to you and Evans earlier because I wanted it to pickup first. This vision came after the government issued a stern warning that every pastor or church leader to hold a theology certificate. I want to confirm that all the leaders in Kisii right now have a valid diploma and are now looking forward to having a degree. This is the good news. I informed the government officials that we have a Bible class and were very happy and requested to join too .The church of God should be the head and not a tail.

  We do this class on the first Sunday and the last Sunday every month. On 11th Sunday we didn’t meet due to unfavorable circumstances. We are meeting on this coming Sunday and will share with you some pictures of the same.

 Need your prayers in Jesus’ name.

  Thank you so much and remain blessed in Jesus’ name.

    Yours fellow disciple of the Christ,

      Ezekiel Ombaso Oanda.

Yes, there are some governmental issues in Africa, including Kenya.

Despite them, the time is coming when individual Philadelphian Christians will instruct many (Daniel 11:33) and be a witness (Matthew 24:14).

Being taught through sermons, Bible study, church literature, etc. aids in this process (see also Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word).
