Congratulations on the completion of the 40 million Pre-Blessing result! Our official number reported last Friday was 41,282,738. Reverend Pak, who is now in Alaska with TP, reported that Father was very happy with our results.

Top honors go to Region 12 (LA) with 7,212,486; Region 7 (Chicago) with 7,138,112; and Region 2 (NY) with 7,000,135. Region 1 (Boston, 6,346,409), Region 3 (DC, 4,013,226) and Region 5 (Atlanta, 3,039,610) also turned in stellar performances. To all brothers and sisters, congratulations.

Now that this campaign is; completed, we turn our attention to witnessing and education. We should work to educate young people to be matching candidates. Each blessed family should have the goal of ii matching candidates.

One strategy being developed by KEA in New York is a "pre-matching" application, which is like a dating service form. It enables us to find people Who are interested in marriage, and to find out about what kind of moral values they have, I will send this when we have it prepared in English, Also, Nora Spurgin with WFWP created something similar with the Family 2000 Club. Perhaps local WFWP members are aware of this.

As we continue to witness and educate, we should continue to do preblessings. From now, we have a newly clarified minimum standard for the preblessing: 1. Mention the four vows; 2. Mention True Parents' name; 3. Use holy wine or holy juice only. Int'l HQ (Rev. Kwak) clarified this in a memo on Saturday, August 29,

From now, please report only those preblessings that are done by this minimum standard. When the Region sends a preblessing report from this time on, the results should be confirmed in writing as follows:

I am aware of the official requirements for valid preblessings and affirm that the couples reported here were preblessed according to these standards,
Name:
Date:

Rev. Kwak continued by stating that "I anticipate questions and concerns regarding the status of current preblessing results which include couples who have been preblessed according to different standards, Further clarification regarding the preblessing result up to the present is now being considered."

We will keep you informed. I am sorry for the delay of this memo, but it has been very difficult to contact Reverend Pak for his approval of this very important content, Please inform all members about these things.
