I’m Br. David
I am Epa Wekati from Bungoma, Western Kenya. I am a retired school teacher who taught in many schools in Kenya.
I have a family, wife and grown up children.
The Salvation Army was my dad’s church and I was born and bred in that protestant church. During my childhood days I interacted with the seventh Day Adventist Roman Catholic and Muslims. Being an officer’s (pastor’s) child I would not be allowed to go to any other church but I would sneak to go and attend. I learned many things that were different from my church and that increased my curiosity.
When I grew up and was through with my early schooling, I got a job in Nairobi. Here I was able to interact with many different denominations.
HOW I MET A BIBLE STUDENT
Mr. Humphreys K., a Bible student came to my house one evening. He introduced me to what I considered a systematic way of studying the Bible. What interested me most was the topic Where Are Our Dead Friends and Relatives. He destroyed the TRINITY by quoting John 17:3 and other Bible passages. I got to learn about the soul and hell. From that time on I became interested in the Bible more and read any literature on Bible study coming my way.
When Facebook came alive on phones, I used it to engage on Bible study with different groups. Here is where I met Bro Larry Davis. We later had interaction with the likes of Kelvin M., Jesse M., and David M.
During a convention in Kitale, I was able to meet bro Joe D. and Bill D. – later I met the others who have been a source of added value to matters of Bible study.
When Bill and Joe left, I got many soft copy study materials. Being an adept reader, I have read about Faith, Trinity Harvests of the Bible, Understanding Prophecy and Why Does God Permit Evil. I am armed with Volume 1- 6; The Divine Plan of Ages, Time Is At Hand, The Kingdom Come, The Battle of Armageddon, The Atonement Between God and Man in the New Creation.
I also make use of The Daily Heavenly Manna Including Songs in the Night.
Hymn of Dawn graces my library as well as the Photo – Drama of Creation. – Science, History and Philosophy.
With the Bible Resources App on my smartphone, there is no lack of a wealth of study materials.
What the Classes Study
Initially, the classes start by going through the Grand Plan of the Ages Chart – based on Habakuk 2:2. The Epoch Days based on the scriptures are looked at (Genesis 1-2, 3, 6-8; 11 – 15, 22, 26, 28, 46) The History of Israel and the kingdom under Saul, David, Solomon to the end of it under Zedekiah – Ezekiel 21:25 – 27. The fall of the Kingdom and the nation that came after as outlined in Daniel. The emphasis is not the chart but scripture.
The Tabernacle is an important study to us – Gal 1:4 as opposed to the 1st world which was destroyed by the flood – 2 Pet 3:6
We present to the audience the realities of the invisible presence of the master since 1874 by what is seen through the time of trouble witnessed in a bigger scene in 1914 and continues. People are given hope through the work of redemption by the first coming of Christ – 1 Timothy 2: 5 – 6).
The great coming – Isa 2:2-4; 11:9, 35:8; Rev 21:4
We urge those willing to hear to consecrate themselves by showing it publicly by being immersed and living the life worth the change of heart.
Presenting their bodies as living sacrifices and not to be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of their minds – Romans 12 : 1 – 21
The reality of the wheat and tares growing together is presented (Mathew 13:24 – 30).

What I have been up to
TRANSLATION
Translation work which was first initiated by Bro Joe D. has been of great help to me as an Individual. The work of spreading the Gospel through a language our people can understand helps me also go through the study as I translate several articles. One major work that I have done for the brotherhood has been the translation of God’s Grand Plan of Ages. Work which was started by a group of Brethren who assembled at Chwele, Bungoma. The team was made up of brethren James Owuor, Kelvin M., Raphael O., Zablon and Epa Wekati. We had a technical team that served well too – Reagan and Brenda. Tom was instrumental in setting the ball rolling. It is undergoing a process for a second edition through the efforts of the others and Tom. Epa and Boaz Juma looked at the work.
There are many other pamphlets and leaflets that I have and are being translated. Makes me do a lot of study as I go through the materials and scriptures.
ZOOM
I try to attend all zoom meetings notified. We have many good talks available from brethren across the world. In Kenya at the moment, we have a Thursday night Zoom Meeting and another on Friday. Saturday morning has zoom meeting for sisters. Interacting with other brethren helps to enlighten and sharpen us.
Whatsapp, Facebook and Youtube are put to good use.
CLASSES
At the moment I have several active classes in my part of the country: Chwele, and Bungoma town classes; Chepkube, Cheptais, Burur, Huruma and Kipsigon up in the Mt. Elgon area; Lwandanyi at the border with Uganda. Another class is at Sirisia at the home of Timothy W.. Nakhosi, Kiminini at the home of Sis Everlyne N.. Nalondo at the home of Sis Janerose T.. And I go as far as Twiga (Hellen), Mwamba (Samuel) and Suam (Dan) classes to lend a hand.
I have a class in Mumias (Francis K.’s place). Everlyn N. is at Nambacha, Kakamega.
