Six international visitors joined 20 Indian brethren at the Four Points by Sheraton within view of the famed Taj Mahal. Together, we rejoiced and worshiped, visited and fellowshipped, shared all meals and enjoyed the many activities for eight days.

From the opening pre-recorded Feast video on the opening night to the closing messages on the Last Great Day, our focus was on the Kingdom of God and our part in bringing it to the rest of the world—including those living in our host country with a current population of approximately 1.3 billion people.

The highlight activities of this year’s Feast in Agra were the variety show with 100 percent of the local brethren participating, family day that featured a performance by the children’s choir at services, visiting the homes of two church families and a few special dining occasions.

Our Agra feast experience made each of us more grateful for the knowledge of God’s wonderful plan, the stronger understanding of what the Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day means for all of humanity, and the wisdom of God in working out His purpose in His way and in His time.
