HQ Memo] Prayer and Preparation for True God's Day and Foundation Day

January 11, 2014

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Happy New Year! We're already eleven days into 2014, but by the Heavenly Calendar, we have 21 days left until True God's Day, which will be celebrated on January 31, 2014. After that, there are twelve more days up until Foundation Day, on February 12. I feel very grateful for those extra days to better prepare myself.

I heard from Rev. and Mrs. Inose that all the Kodan members are again beginning a period of prayer, offering and preparation for the upcoming Holy Days. That's a great tradition, and I'd like invite all our pastors and ministers, and all our members, to join in that condition, starting this coming Sunday, January 12 and continuing up until Foundation Day.

Here are some suggested Prayer Points:

1. Pray for True Mother's health and protection.

2. Unite with True Parent's desire that America succeed in our role as the Elder Son Nation.

3. Raise and educate new young pastors and ministers to lead our movement to 2020; and especially find those who are ready to answer True Mother's call to study in Korea.

4. Bring Victory in Witnessing and Church Growth: Have faith in the goal of doubling membership in 2014, increasing to 50,000 by 2016 and beyond 500,000 by 2020.

5. Recommit ourselves and our families to True Father's direction to be new Tribal Messiahs and reach our family and relatives, and commit to join regular witnessing and outreach activities.

6. Pray for spiritual revival, uniting with True Father in heaven and True Mother on earth.

7. Give Generously: Tithe to build a healthy local church, and offer a National Tithe to save America.

As before, I suggest that it is best to have a set time for prayer each day. Fumiko and I decided to pray for 21 minutes each morning, right after Hoon Dok Hwe, and have found it very helpful.

Sincerely,


Dr. Michael Balcomb
