Dear Family,

As you may know, Rev. Dr. Yang and Rev. Jenkins have asked the Blessed Families and members in America to take part in a Nation-wide 21Day Prayer and Fasting to begin from Tuesday, May 1st - May 21st to prepare for the victory of this 50 State Tour of the True Family, May 21-June 8, 2007 .

As True Family endeavors to love this nation in such a dramatic way once again, I am asking all the adults and grown youth of our District to offer their sincerest hearts, minds and bodies toward the objective of returning victory and bountiful blessings to our Heavenly Father and True Family. Any high school youths or younger who'd like to offer this same condition, are most welcome to, but should offer the condition through their parents.

Therefore, I am asking all adults and grown youth to participate from May 1 – 21st in:

(1) A 21 day, 7-minute (minimum) prayer condition offered anytime of the day

(2) A 21 day Breakfast Fasting* condition beginning from midnight tonight through noon on May 21st

(3) And in the last week of the 21 days, May 15-21, I encourage those who can, to fast any 1 whole day of the last 7 days.

1. The blessing and victory of our True Parents and True Family on the Special American Tour for Peace.

2. The unity of all leaders from every organization to fulfill our responsibility before True Parents and True Family at this time.

3. That all Blessed Families, standing on the foundation of the "New Beginning Grace Workshop" will mobilize all of their heavenly fortune and that of their ancestors to touch the heart of America and bring all the people that God has prepared in all 50 states.

4. That Ambassadors for Peace, including ACLC Clergy, WFWP leaders, Youth and Civic and community leaders rise up to share the responsibility for this tour and for America at this time .

These are our district events: May 23 - Salt Lake City, May 24 - Albuquerque, May 25 - Denver, May 26 - Dallas and Wyoming, May 28 - Oklahoma, and May 29 - Little Rock, Arkansas - 7 events in 7 days

"Distinguished guests, I have surmounted and triumphed over a course of inexpressible suffering and tribulations. I have not lived for personal glory or comfort. Even as I walked a thorny path hovering in a state between life and death, I received heaven's seal and was fully aware of the destination of God's will. Thus, I held dearly to Heaven's command to bring salvation to humanity as I carried on, like a phoenix, with my eventful life."
True Father,
March 17, Hawaii

Dear brothers and sisters, the conditions we set in the Era After the Coming of Heaven are not indemnity for the sake of restoration, but serve as jet fuel to fire us forward. We truly are blessed with such an eventful life! Let us all rise like phoenixes together with our True Parents and embrace this precious life we share for the sake of God's will!

Thank you and God bless you all,

Mark

* Breakfast Fasts are the sacrificing of the first meal of the day and customarily run from midnight to noon. If your hours of work call you to be up inordinately early, you may adjust this according to your situation and skip one meal a day. Those with diabetic or metabolistic conditions which make it almost impossible to fast, please offer a substitutive condition.
