Dear Leaders:

Our elder brother Hyo Jin Nim passed away to the spirit world this morning, March 17, 2008 at 9:45 AM (Korea Time). He died from heart attack and his body is now in Chung Pyung, Korea. We will be offering a special vigil condition for him and for the protection of the True Parents, True Family, and for the entire leadership and membership of our movement.

Tonight, March 17 from 12am-4pm, all HQ staff and leaders will be offering the vigil prayer. Tomorrow, March 18, from 12am-4 am- we will offer a nationwide vigil condition.

The purpose of the vigil will be:

1. for the peaceful ascension of Hyo Jin Nim to the spirit world.

2. for the protection of True Parents and True Family.

3. for the protection of all our leaders, elders, VIPs and members and all brothers and sisters who are working for the Providence.

During the vigil, please put another table in front of the altar where you can place Hyo Jin Nim’s picture. (Note: Hyo Jin Nim’s picture need not be on the same table where you put True Parents’ photo. True Parents’ and HJN’s picture can be on the altar on a separate table. During Seung Hwa Ceremony, you may only put Hyo Jin Nim’s picture on the altar.)

We are still awaiting the schedule of his Seung Hwa Ceremony. We will join the official Seung Hwa in Korea which might be on Wednesday, March 19. Please wait for further information and instructions.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael G. Zablan
National Leader
