Llandudno, Wales

Llandudno, North Wales has once again provided a welcoming Festival site for 185 happy Feast-goers.

Mild autumn weather has been ideal for all activities, highlights of which have been a visit to the historic Roman walled city of Chester and a scenic all-day trip to the beautiful mountainous region of Snowdonia, which included a journey on the narrow-gauge railway from Ffestiniog to Porthmadog on the coast.

This is a family-unity themed Feast and the messages have been both positive and uplifting in reflecting this theme.

Grenada, West Indies

The 92 brethren in Grenada are really feeling the Millennium--so much so that we would celebrate an extra 8 days if we could.  What a beautiful and peaceful setting God has blessed us with.  The weather has been almost perfect, including breathtaking sunsets. God's Spirit and joy are evident among all the brethren here.  Do we really have to leave?  Praying you all are enjoying the best Feast ever as well.

Greetings from Lake George, New York!

The weather and countryside have been beautiful with fall temperatures. Although we had gentle rains throughout the day, that did not dampen the excitement of Family Day.  Some braved the weather and rode horses in the rain but most stayed indoors to play games, sing karaoke, swim in the indoor pool, dance and talk for hours.   The messages have been inspired and full of enthusiasm.   We wish you all a wonderful Feast of Tabernacles!

Warmest of greetings from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

As they say here, Feliz Fiesta, or in English, Have a Happy Feast!

There are 650 brethren from seven countries around the world in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The days have been sunny and all activities have been carried out. Tropical storm Rosa was headed this way yesterday but it took a sudden turn north and is now headed for Baja California. We praise and honor God for His protection. There is a palpable spirit of unity as all the brethren are housing in the same hotel and being exclusive for us and the all-included amenities make us look forward to the time when the kingdom of God will also be all-inclusive to the entire world!

Suriname, South America

Very warm greetings from 38 brethren enjoying God's Feast of Tabernacles (Loofhutten Feest) in the beautiful country of Suriname!

Our American brethren are really enjoying their first experience of Suriname and all its diversity. 

Food, both physical and spiritual have been beyond our expectations! The weather has been very warm, but occasional rains and the breeze from the Suriname river bring cooler evenings.

A tour to the city of Paramaribo and Joden Savanah (Jewish Ruins) were enjoyed by all.

God has blessed us with much favor as we rejoice in the truth about the time these days picture.
