Shalom to all Our Brethren and Friends in Yahshua,

We thank Almighty Yahweh each day for those who join the efforts of this ministry to proclaim Yahweh’s Truth. It is our desire to do the will of our Heavenly Father by fulfilling His purposes for this ministry. Praise be to Yahweh and Yahshua for all the blessings that we have received. Truly, there is much to rejoice over since our last newsletter, and it is our pleasure to report these things to you.

Last month’s newsletter centered around the scheduled trip to Kenya, East Africa. We can report today that Elder Karl Bloodworth has returned from Kenya where he was preaching and teaching the Good News of the coming Kingdom of Yahweh. Most of his time had been spent in remote locations far from modern conveniences such as electricity and phones. Following is the progress report that Karl called us with during his stay.

Pictured above are some of the brethren who met Karl at the Nairobi International Airport upon his arrival in Kenya.

On Thursday, November 23, 2007, Karl arrived in Kenya and was greeted at the Nairobi International Airport by 20 brethren. The next morning, a worship service was held some distance from Nairobi in the town of Mai-mahiu. Over 80 brethren and visitors attended this meeting.

There was a turnout of over 80 people for the weekly Sabbath service held in Mai-mahiu.

We heard again from Karl on Wednesday, November 28 via phone and e-mail and again on Friday, November 30. He reported that most of the time with the brethren is spent answering questions and teaching them the message of our Savior as described in Mark 1:14-15. "Now after John had been taken into custody, Yahshua came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of Yahweh, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Yahweh is at hand; repent and believe in the Good News.’"

Although his days were very long, usually from sunup until late at night, his weariness had thus far been eclipsed by the genuine interest and sincerity of these brethren and friends and their continual questions. Karl expressed his pleasure at the zeal held by these people. They expressed their thanks and gratitude to Yahweh for making it possible for Karl to be there in Kenya for three weeks.

These people had waited a very long time for a follow-up visit Many of the interested people that Karl and the other elders talked to are former members of Church of God 7th Day, Jerusalem. They were in contact with Andrew Dugger in Jerusalem. In order to help them establish congregations and organize the efforts in Kenya, he sent representatives to Kenya. They in turn established the congregations and baptized those who believed and ordained elders. That occurred nearly 40 years ago and was the beginning of the reclamation of the remnant of Yahweh’s people in Kenya.

The YPTC Kenyan Elders had prepared the way for Karl’s journey there. They spent months traveling, teaching and preaching to countless numbers of sincere seekers of truth. Many of those who have accepted Yahweh’s Truth requested that they be immersed into Yahshua’s Name by Karl upon his visit. At this point in time, a total of 30 people were baptized. Karl stated in one phone conversation, "These people have prepared their hearts and they are ready for immersion."

Karl and the Kenyan Elders traveled through a number of different towns and cities. On the night previous to his call on December 6, Karl reported how they had left at 6 am and arrived before sundown. Then, they spent the evening teaching and talking to the people until 12:30 am. Then, early the next morning, they baptized 18 more people.

Along with the good news of those who have made their covenant commitment to Yahweh through immersion into Yahshua’s name, Karl reports that land was purchased to build a meeting hall. The funds for this purchase were provided by a dear sister in the faith from the U.S. This will firmly establish YPTC in Kenya, and unites all the brethren together as they meet together.

We thank Almighty Yahweh for the great progress that is being made in Kenya. The next newsletter will contain a report directly from Karl on the Kenyan mission.

We thank Almighty Yahweh and our Savior Yahshua for all the new brethren who made their covenant commitment to our Father in Heaven through baptism. Please remember to pray for these new lambs in the Faith.

A Warm Greeting from Your Brothers and Sisters, here in England.

Since Yahweh’s recent Feast of Tabernacles we have experienced more progress than ever before regarding interest in Yahweh’s worship. We have kept our channels of communication open, enabling the building of the Body of Messiah. The Website for YPTC. is attracting sincere seekers of Truth. Recently a family from East Sussex near to where Sister Nina Cornish lived, invited us for Sabbath services and fellowship. Our encounter was most rewarding, since it is rare in the UK to meet those of similar faith. The family was very hospitable and excited to here the Word of Yahweh preached. How encouraged we were also, especially since we now have regular communication with these nearby Truth-seekers. Praise be to Yahweh what he is doing. HALLELUYAH!

Regular contact also flourishes with our brethren in Cornwall. We are thankful that they are remaining faithful and loyal to the Majesty on High. The London congregation, in a united attempt, is helping to spearhead an effort to bring about continued growth, proving that the Comforter is in our midst. This coming Sabbath we will reach out to a family in Lincoln, hoping and praying for positive results. We have discovered the more effort we make for Yahweh and His Son Yahshua, that the more He brings help and comfort.

Flights have been booked for a trip to Italy with the purpose of establishing a new congregation there. We can truly see that the efforts of all the brethren who have been fasting and praying for this ministry are being rewarded. One example of this is the new interest in Europe. Please continue to pray for this ministry. We look forward to the time when our prayers will be heard as they were in apostolic times. We strongly encourage one another to communicate with Yahweh and the brethren. Much more than ever before, this will unite and strengthen the Body of the Messiah!

We should always be encouraged with the fact that Yahshua, who is the Word of Yahweh made into flesh, is always near at hand and assessable to us through prayer. He mediates between us and our Heavenly Father, and delivers our prayers to Him. Yahshua as the Word is always close at hand. "But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it." (Deuteronomy 30:14; NASU)

Our prayers and fasting continue for all those with serious needs. Yahweh answers our petitions and Yahshua shows compassion and heals His brethren. We indeed should be thankful because through Yahshua we can receive help. "But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5; NASU)

Praise and thanks be to Yahweh and His Son Yahshua for all their lovingkindness and for their Miracles!

Brethren remember to stay motivated, and rely on our King above.

Rich Blessings in Yahshua’s Name,

Your family in the U.K.

The latest Truman story is entitled "Age Does Not Matter", and is published online in the Kids section.

• 10th Month New Moon. The new moon for the 10th scriptural month was visible the evening of December 10, 2007. Because of overcast weather throughout North America, there were not a lot of new moon sightings in December. However, the new visible crescent was sighted by the YPTC Trinidad, West Indies Congregation.
• 11th Month New Moon. The new moon for the 11th scriptural should be visible the evening of January 9, 2008, making January 10 new moon day. Weather conditions permitting, this new crescent should be plainly visible from Kenya, East Africa, to the U.S. West Coast. Please call in your findings to us even if you do not see the new moon. Call in to our toll free number at 1-888-FOR-YPTC. For more information on this new moon, check out our website at www.yahstruth.org.
• 2008/2009 Scriptural Calendar. The YPTC wall calendar will be available at the beginning of the new scriptural year. However, for those who need to reserve time off, we are publishing tentative dates for the 2008 holy days.
  
  The following information could change depending on when Aviv barley is found in the Land of Israel. We will have to wait for the Aviv search to take place before publishing definitive dates. At the present time it appears that 2nd Adar will be added to the calendar. That being the case, here are the potential dates for the 2008 holy days.
  
  Abib 1 (new year day)…………………………………………………………………April 6, 2008
  Passover………………………………………………………………………………April 19, 2008
  1st High Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread………………..…………………April 20, 2008
  Last High Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread………………..……………….April 26, 2008
  Feast of Weeks………………………………………………………..………...…….June 15, 2008
  Feast of Trumpets……………………………………………………..……...September 30, 2008
  Day of Atonement………………………………………………………………….October 9, 2008
  1st High Day of the Feast of Tabernacles………………………………………October 14, 2008
  Last Great Day…………………………………………………………………….October 21, 2008
  
  Again, remember there is a possibility that the barley could be Aviv a month earlier. If that is the case, these dates would be wrong. Also, the new moon of the 1st and 7th month must be sanctified for the above dates to hold true.
• Monthly Bible Study Program. This month’s article that we will be using as our study is Yahweh’s Truth About Winter Holidays. We have included a copy of this article with this newsletter.
• Thank Yahweh for Those Who Pray. We appreciate all of those individuals who are praying for our dear brother and elder, Tyrone Joyner. Yahshua is carrying our petitions for our brother to the very throne of the Most High Yahweh, and He is answering those prayers of faith.
  
  Tyrone continues to make progress in his recovery from the life-threatening injuries he received on October 17 in a serious auto accident. It is expected that he will have a long recovery period and so we ask that you all continue to pray for Tyrone and his family.
  
  The accident that took place has hurt the Joyner family financially. We sincerely ask each one of you to consider sending a contribution to help them get through this terrible tragedy.
  
  For those who prefer to get credit for their tax deductable contributions, you can send your checks or money orders payable to the "Yahweh’s Truth Relief Fund." These funds will be available to help meet the needs of the Joyner family. The funds for the "Yahweh’s Truth Relief Fund" should be sent to:
  
  Yahweh’s Truth Relief Fund
  c/o YPTC
  P.O. Box 547
  Loganville, GA 30052
  
  Thank you again for your prayers and show of support to Tyrone and his family. We are seeing the glory of Yahweh in this matter. Let us continue in faith and rejoice as we see Yahweh’s hand move in a special way.
• Prayer. In Matthew 6, our Savior taught His disciples how to pray. He set the example for us to follow and made it clear that prayer is an important part of developing our spirituality. Yahweh hears and answers prayer. As individuals and as a group, let us tap into the power of prayer and make a difference.
  
  It is up to each one of us to pray fervently for those of our spiritual family who are in need. Remember to pray to Yahweh and ask your petition in Yahshua’s Name.
  
  "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. ‘Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.’" (John 14:12-14; NASU)

How encouraging it is to look into the pages of the Scriptures and see things which directly relate to us as sincere seekers of the Truth. Such a passage is found in Malachi 3:16-18. "Then those who feared Yahweh spoke to one another, and Yahweh gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear Yahweh and who esteem His name. ‘They will be Mine,’ says Yahweh of hosts, ‘on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.’ So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve Him." (NASU)

Those of us who fear Yahweh and esteem His Name will be remembered when the Day of Judgment comes upon this earth at the end of the age. We find comfort in knowing that Yahweh will spare those who are "His own possession." All hope that we have comes as a result of Yahshua coming again and establishing the Kingdom of Yahweh upon the earth. " For this we say to you by the word of Yahweh, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Master, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Master Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of Yahweh, and the dead in Messiah will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air, and so we shall always be with the Master. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; NASU)

Let us all take comfort and be encouraged that Yahshua’s second coming is just ahead

May Almighty Yahweh Continue to Bless His People,

Your Brethren in Yahweh’s Truth
