Dear Team leader, sisters in charge of each Nation

Congratulations on the 17th anniversary of 6000 blessing international ceremony! I assume that there are many 6000 blessing members in each national team. I congratulate all of you from the bottom of my heart.

Today is also the anniversary that True Father was freed from Hung-Nam prison. We have been already at the middle phase of October of

Liberation of Unification Family and Unification. How much sorrow do Parents of heaven and earth have! Let us do our best so heartily that we liberate True Parents and can have glorious times in 2000.

When I convey you the News here in the North America. I always pray that all members will be inspired when they read it.

Up today report form each area in the North America.

(V.C.= Video Center)

Guatemala team

A video center opened on 12th. 3 persons participated in 2-hour seminar in evening. We hope to take a big step forward with heavenly fortune.

St. Lucia

More people revisited the video center in Santa Monica. The quality of guests is also getting better. In Las Vegas, we have a person who comes to V.C. everyday. In Los Angeles, 19 members have started witnessing in UCLA and they are making many appointments.

We have realized that the more strongly we are united with the American members, the better the quality and greater the number of guests come.

Jamaica team

Japanese sisters, blessed to American brothers and living in U.S. are very much willing to participate in witnessing .We can pair each of them up and witness in two University campuses.

Our daily goal is for one Member to bring one person to V.C .We are dedicating ourselves to accomplish this goal by making 210 bows to TP everyday.

America team

We have more persons who revisited V.C. this week than last week. That is why we are hopeful. They return here very happily

Trinidad team

We organized a minister witnessing team. This team visited Bishop David's church and had Hoon Dok Hae by reading TF's speech "God's Hope for Man." 15 people participated and were so inspired spiritually that we agreed to have Hoon Dok Hae every week. They told us to bring more of TF speech books for that.

Mexico and Honduras team

We went to Plymouth where Pilgrim Fathers came to the American continent for the first time. We 108 Members leading by Rev. Kim prayed at 10:10 October 10th by the Plymouth Rock, where the puritans took their first steps on American soil.

Rev. Kim prayed passionately, so one sister who is very spiritual said, "I saw a gold whirlwind coming down from Heaven" Afterwards we could bring more people to our V.C. We think Puritan's spirits are working with us.

Reports from team which counted many candidates for blessing

Brazil team - (blessing candidates 18)

We are targeting Asian minority people. The young people who have a fiancé or who their parents chose in their childhood. They never divorce. We could find couples of fiancé and fiancé and gave them the blessing.

Argentina team - (blessing candidates 396)

We have many candidates, but actually we are not sure how many people can participate in the blessing ceremony. We are in the test stage, so please let us refrain from sharing our information to use as a model at this point.

Dominican Republic team - (blessing candidates 78)

(We can not contact well. We will report later)

Please do your best to share the testimony from each nation with your team. Good luck to you!
