Tokarara Christian Fellowship will be hosting an event to honor fathers and also raise funds for church infrastructure and the church’s J424 Worship Night, called the ‘Father-Son Banquet’ – where fathers are invited to bring their sons and daughters; and sons and daughters to bring their fathers.
This was a new approach to the previously held ‘Father-Son Breakfast’ held in 2022 & 2023. According to Chairman of Tokara Christian Fellowship, Ganjiki Wayne, the event will feature two keynote speakers, covering topics on biblical masculinity and the role of fatherhood in nation-building, followed by a panel discussion on the importance of Godly fatherhood.
“Masculinity has been distorted over the years and in today’s modern, modern world and with modern ideologies, as a result fatherhood has been watered down.”
“The role of fathers has been displaced so that men are not taking the role too seriously –which leads to the breakdown of the family unit.”
“We’re trying to encourage the idea redefining the definition of masculinity to that original godly design.”
He added that TCF wants to remind young people who have grown up in a broken home without a father figure that good father figures still exist.
“If your own father is not around to providing that role model for you then they are father-figures out there that you can connect with and be mentored.”
TCF is encouraging inclusive participation by allowing attendees to “adopt” a father figure or a son or daughter for the evening. Youth without fathers can invite someone they see as a father figure and sponsor their attendance, while men without children are welcome to adopt a son or daughter for the day.
The banquet will be held on September 6th, the eve of Father’s Day at TCF church, outdoors with 300 to 500 individuals expected.
Ticket prices will range between K150 to K175. For more information, contact TCF Chairman, Ganjiki Wayne on 71059629.
