Team Leaders and sisters in charge of your Nations

Thank you for your hard work.

Today is the last day of October, which is the month of liberation of the Unification Family. One month has passed since we came here. The total of applicants to the blessing is so far 7195.

On the 29th of October the regional directors met in New York for two days. We all had the opportunity to attend Hoon Dok Hae at East Garden. On this day (29th) the Hoon Dok Hae session continued for 4 hours. The content the speech "The Life Course of True Parents" was read. It dealt with the first 7-year course of our True Father.

When we finished, True Father suddenly turned to me and said in Japanese "Erikawa, the upcoming True Children's Day is our last chance to create absolute unity between the USA, Japan and Korea. This is a very important time period and we cannot lose even one minute. Even if Japan gives everything, it would not be enough to bring victory. Japan must absolutely bring unity with Korea, Japan and the USA, if this is not done, we will be in serious trouble. We have no other way than to do it through absolute faith, love and obedience.

Based on this I prepared a lecture on the theme of "The Providence and the Mission of the Mother Nation" at the University of Bridgeport where the team from El Salvador is working very hard. Missionaries, Kodan Members and American Members gathered. I was filled with the spirit and words came out of my mouth like bullets out of a machine gun. My words were translated into English to my left, right and even behind me in a different room. Everyone was so inspired and listened for three hours very intensely.

That evening I stayed over at Dr. Chin's house and I was unable to send you a letter. The next day again I attended Hoon Dok Hae at East Garden with the USA Regional Directors. Here we read Dr. Sung Han Lee's new message from the Spirit World fir 3 1/2 hours until 9:30 am

True Father dedicates himself to build the tradition of Hoon Dok Hae. Let us understand his heart and inherit this tradition and let us witness and offer our results.

After the Hoon Dok Hae the regional leader's meeting resumed at Belvedere. It carried on until 1:00 pm. I attended part of the meeting and when I get the summary I will give a report to you. One thing became clear, I believe that from now on we will approach and witness to Christian Churches more actively in the near future.

Dominican Republic team (Seattle)

We are going out to witness with the heart to liberate people and give hope to them. In the beginning we were helped spiritually and blessed by God. No we are passing this blessing on to the people we meet.

There are many homosexuals in Seattle. We witness recalling True Father's heart in the early '70 when he stood on 5th Avenue and wept because God was not present in the buildings or the shining cars. So far 95% of our guests are male.

We had our first introductory meeting centered on the Blessing in a local city. Seven Guests participated. All of them were very interested in our program and asked many questions. They want to learn more at our next program when that kind of content will be lectured. Local City has good points different from Seattle. We need to find the good place for them to get together to educate them via Hoon Dok Hae. A student, who grew up in Mormon family, visited our center. After the lecture he was very shocked and asked a lot of questions. We answered every one of them. He was a little bit confused but deeply impressed to learn about our view of marriage and he said, "I want to know more". We feel that the Christian spiritual world is working behind us and we can meet persons who they have prepared. Sisters feel happy to see guests become happy as they fill out the application for the blessing.

There was no church center in Mobile which is the capital city of Alabama and that created a difficult situation for witnessing. We could not find a good house and agonized economically. But while we set up the condition, one member offered his Apartment to us. Guests came there and listen to the lecture. We thought that the house was too small because guest came in ever-greater numbers for 3 days. Soon we found house near the university and we discussed with the owner.

Japanese sisters had a dream/vision this morning. True Father came to the sixth region, and gave words to the missionaries. Father called the name of 777 couples' sister who had dedicated for church for a long and handed his bag saying, " Please keep this my bag". The 777 couples' sister determined that the center was absolutely necessary, and she prayed seriously in the holy ground toward the spiritual world. I heard sisters who had been prayed for by her felt the spiritual world working with them so much stronger. When I went to meet the owner with sisters, the owner said that he wanted to rent the Japanese the house by all means and with pleasure. The house is very large and also beautiful and is equipped with the necessary furniture. It seemed the center, which God had exactly prepared for us. The American leader was worried whether he should make a contract with the owner, but the 777 couple's sister asked him to make the contract by using her credit card. Sisters shared tears of gratitude to hear her words and the American leader was also moved to see the appearance of Japanese sisters and decided the contract at once.

Father said, "It is a mother who can do well no matter where she goes. Her appearance in which she can not understand the language and have an approach book to witness is more miserable than being a beggar. But in 3 years she can speak the language and guide anybody", we thought 3 years was necessary for United States to educate new members who could take responsibility to support God's Providence. The American leader also thought that we absolutely need a center to witness.

We actually realized that when we were determined and united. The spiritual world guided us as very clearly and quickly. The owner said that we could use the house from November on. We are now able to start from next month with a new heavenly luck.

We made contact with the Bishop of a Christian Church and invited him to meal. He said that he was planning to go to South Korea next year. He heartily understood the words spoken by Korean national messiah and said that he felt he was talking with Jesus. He asked me to visit his church and give a speech.

He also said he wanted to participate in the Hoon Dok Hae Conference in Washington DC in November.

One American sister, who is a principal at the Bridgeport high school, teaches us English for about 30 minutes every morning. She advised us to tell him or her "God will decide your husband (or wife)" when we meet a youth. One sister did like that and though the young man was surprised, he filled out an application form.
