I’m back! Well, not quite. But almost.
History of Ministry
QFC (2012)
Blog (2012)
Podcast (2014-11/2022)

QFC Affiliates with Feastkeepers (New York) and First Century COG (Baltimore) (2019-2021)
Why we ended the podcast arm of this ministry last year–It was a Hiccup of Faith!
Romans 8:28–“We know that for those who love Elohim, all things work together for good; for those who are called according to His purpose” (ESV).
The tagline for The Messianic Torah Observer: Encouraging you in righteous living while contending for the Faith once delivered.
Fulfilling the mandate/the command that Master Yeshua gave His chosen ones to make for Him disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20).
Not just evangelizing, but discipling.
Matthew 5:20–“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven” (ESV).
My message from Passover 2022: “The Exceeding Righteousness that Takes us From Pesach to Tabernacles.”
What we’ve been doing since the podcast ended last year
- Blogging the weekly Torah reading Thoughts & Reflections
- Book writing project
- Restructuring the Website and Focus of the Ministry
- Seeking Yah’s will and purpose for the ministry
Where the Spirit is leading us: What’s Coming? Abba willing
- Resume the Messianic Torah Observer Podcast arm of QFC but with a focus on (1) fulfilling the purpose that Yah has ordained for us, (2) discipling, (3) promoting the righteousness that takes us to the coming Kingdom of Yah.
- Write and publish a series of books to aid in these three areas of ministry.
Timeframes?
Abba is in control of the when. If within His will, around the time of the Fall Feasts/Moedim or 7th Biblical Month.
Shabbat Shalom/Shavu’atov.
