Do you know what Faith Harvest Israel is doing in India?
Welcome to the page on which Pastor Floyd talks about
Hello! I'm Pastor Floyd, the founder and pastor of Faith Harvest Israel; and I really do want you to see what we are doing in India; but first I would like to tell you how we happen to be ministering in India, as well as here in California!
For years I conducted an "Holy Convocation" each Sabbath, for my family and a few interested friends; but that was the extent of it, Yehovaw seeming to limit me to the study of His Holy Bible, which had led me, with great certainty, to the doctrines I was teaching!
But near the first of 2007 a young man from India contacted me by email, hoping I might be able to help him finance his ministry! His name was Neela Bala Chandra Sekhar; and he was an evangelist working under the sponsorship of the Roman Catholic Church in his area, which was the city of Guntur in the district of Guntur in the state of Andhra Pradesh, on the Southeast coast of India, where, as a teacher for the Catholic Church, he had established churches in twelve villages!
I of course was not interested in supporting the Catholic Church, which I believe to be the virtual embodiment of the Great Whore; but through email a discussion began between Mr Sekhar and myself, which revealed that he was becoming increasingly troubled by Catholic teachings that were without any basis in Yehovaw's Holy Bible!
I was pleased by Mr. Sekhar's responsiveness to my teaching him the bible as I had come to understand it; and after a few months I was amazed to have him inform me, in July of 2007, that he had quit his well paying position in the Catholic Church and taken on the support of his family by working as a plumber, which included having to pay rent and school tuition for his son and daughter, both of which expenses had been covered by his former church!
Mr Sekhar declared that his purpose in making that radical change was to dedicate himself to being an evangelist in India for Faith Harvest Israel, which he had learned was the name of my ministry in the United States! He knew and was loved by many people whom he had taught and counseled for 19 years; and now he was declaring, to them, that as of August in 2007, he would be serving Yehovaw as the Evangelist for Faith Harvest Israel, which had been founded by Floyd Warner Reeves in the United States!
Brother Sekhar told his friends that, as Faith Harvest Israel's Evangelist, his teaching would be that one obtains Yehovaw's eternal life and all the blessings of that life here and now by keeping or putting the highest possible value on the commandments of Yehovaw's toraw or law!
For the past twenty-three years out of the thirty-three years I had been dedicated to serving Yehovaw I had been teaching that fundamental doctrine; but for Yehovaw's own good reasons no one had been sufficiently motivated by the life and blessings it offers, as I had struggled to present it here in the highly blessed United States, to pick up that truth and run with it as brother Sekhar had done as an humble servant of Yehovaw in one of the poorest countries of the world!
But, regardless of brother Sekhar's highly compromised circumstances, the next thing I knew, he had invited 280 people into his new home, for which he had not yet even paid the rent, for a three-day seminar; and before his guests left, he had secured, from them, a pledge to follow the teachings of Yehovaw through Faith Harvest Israel "to the death"!
Brother Sekhar then ministered to those people for the following year, asking me to support him as well as I could; because the impoverished condition of those people made supporting themselves a virtual impossibility, let alone supporting their evangelist's ministry! India's being one of the poorest countries of the world, the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the U.S. Dollar is, at this time, 45 to 1!
So, by tithing out of my retirement income, I sent brother Sekhar what I could; but those amounts were pitifully inadequate in relation to the financial problems that continually plagued him. Still, he continued his work in behalf of Faith Harvest Israel regardless of that shortfall, looking to Yehovaw to keep him, his family and his ministry going "at all cost", he would say, in the constant emails by which he kept me informed every other day or so.
When June of 2008 came around, brother Sekhar celebrated the near completion of his first year as Faith Harvest Israel's Evangelist by inviting over six hundred people to Guntur, from all over its district, to whom he then ministered, by focusing on my book entitled "My Dream at Last", which is Yehovaw's gospel according to my best understanding from out of His Holy Bible! In fact, at considerable expense to himself, brother Sekhar printed several chapters of the book and passed them out to the people who attended his anniversary celebration, so they could follow along as he went through various of its main teachings!
Brother Sekhar then became aware that Yehovaw's toraw or law includes His children's keeping of seven sacred feasts! And the Fall feasts were coming up in September, according to our fellowship's scriptural using of the solar calendar rather than the unstable Jewish lunar calendar; so, unable to fund a gathering so large as he had conducted in June, for which he had borrowed money against his own name and indentured himself to do his plumbing free of charge, brother Sekhar invited a select group of pastors and their families to join with him in his celebration of Yehovaw's Feast of Tabernacles!
So, in September of 2008 125 pastors and their families attended that feast and enjoyed brother Sekhar's explanation of Yehovaw's Fall feasts, which was so successful, that by the third and last day of the meetings he had scheduled, the number had swelled to 255 participants!
Having watched for thirty-three years my ministry go nowhere so far as numbers are concerned, in the American "land of promise", Yehovaw permitted me to see the day when He would bring a servant of His from the other side of the world, from one of the poorest countries of the world, to take His teachings through me seriously enough to make astounding things happen, regardless of the humble position in which He had kept me, for all those years! And I can do no more than to give Him all the praise and the glory for that increase, under the leadership of a servant of His who does not know the meaning of the word "quit", regardless of the obstacles!
To make possible brother Sekhar's meetings to commemorate Yehovaw's Fall feasts, an extraordinary thing happened; a dear brother of mine in Yehovaw took an interest in what brother Sekhar was doing in India sufficiently to provide a significant portion of the funds needed for the meetings; and I know that this brother gave sacrificially, to give what he did! And, when I asked him later how his family's business was faring, he replied, enthusiastically, that it was going well!
Receiving support of Faith Harvest Israel's ministry in India from someone outside our immediate family, awakened me to our fellowships need for a serious public relations effort; because in the discussions leading up to this brother's new gift for our Feast of Tabernacles meetings, he asked a very reasonable question: "What will I get for my dollars?"
Both I and brother Sekhar were caught off guard, in that respect: early in his getting acquainted with me he had sent me some photographs of his ministry; but then he discovered that, by the guidance of Yehovaw's spirit, certain of his youth volunteers had taken photographs of the Feast of Tabernacles meetings with their cell phones; and since then they have taken other interesting photos of the colorful events continually being sponsored by Faith Harvest Israel under brother Sekhar's wonderful leadership!
So I am offering, for your viewing pleasure, both the early photographs of brother Sekhar's ministry and his latest ones - his Feast of Tabernacles meetings and other events since then! If you would like to take me up on that offer, please click on:
