Dear Brothers and Sisters,

True Father has been emphasizing several key points recently. In case you were not able to attend Angelika Selle's sharing of this information last Sunday evening, here are a few of the main issues we all need to be aware of for this year 2012:

These are taken from unofficial notes.

1. What is a Tribal Messiah? It is one who brings salvation to members of the tribe as a mentor and teacher, who observes and preserves the absolute sex tradition, Hoon Dok Hae tradition, brings Cain and Abel into harmony and raises them spiritually.

2. To -- do list:

Distribute 430 Autobiographies (As a Global Peace Loving Citizen)

Witness and bless 12 couples

Bring three couples to Blessing Ceremony

Liberate 210 generations of ancestors

Settle all accounts of the past, cast away old habits and self centered thinking

3. Our internal focus at this time:

Inherit God's tradition and love

Preserve the purity of lineage and pass it on

Resemble True Parents in heart and model your life after them, live for the sake of each other.

Let us work together to revitalize our movement and uplift the value of True Parents and the Messiah.

I hope you take some time to look at the photos and accounts of the festivities in Korea during the True God's Day holiday week. You can still find them at familyfed.org.

Locally, here in Maryland and around the Metro DC Area, we are working to build Lovin Life Ministry teams that can support the success of all of us in 2012. Please pray and meditate on how you can contribute to make a difference this year. Then contact one of our ministries and get connected!

God bless you,

Pastor Matthew and Marianne Goldberg

Prayer Requests:

True Parents and True Family Mrs. Debbie Taylor -- Now in intensive care due to an infection, please pray for healing.

Debra Gohr -- Recovery and healing

Walter Haynes -- Successful surgery and healing

Please send any prayer requests to Administrative Assistant: Gay Grow
