desire to realize Heavenly Parent’s nation here on earth by the year 2020.
He also discussed with the
members present about the privileges of working together as a community and
pointed out how the previous barbecues and workshops made a positive impact to
the guests. Having a positive attitude and unity amongst brothers and sisters
were highlighted as some of the good attributes that contributed to the
successful series of events within the community.
Later, details on how to work on
reaching out to more people and Blessing them were discussed. Members present
committed to support one another until they all Blessed 430 couples.
Below are the strategies and
suggestions given by members on how to reach out to the community:
1. Organize a
music festival and play music for people at the park, then set up
booths i.e. WFWP,CARP,FFWPU,UPF,ACLC and invite them to their booths
introducing them to what they do and then Bless them. Sunset Park was selected
as the preferred venue. Tentative month to hold the event is November. In the meantime,
members present agreed to go to the free markets and set up booths and take
turns in running them. The Blessing booths would contain the following:
Ø
Banners,pamphlets,Holy Wine, a guest book and a
beautiful backdrop for taking memorable pictures.
Ø
Give free gifts, clothes, home appliances and raffles
to the newly witnessed individuals.
Ø
An artificial bouquet of flowers.
Ø
Band (CARP Band, LVFC Praise team)
Members present
agreed to reserve a spot at Sunset Park and prepare in advance. They also
agreed to use smaller parks to witness to and Bless people in the meantime
before November.
2. Offer
guidance and counselling services to families and youths and
introduce them to True Family values and a lifestyle of purity, offering solutions
to family crisis in the society.
3. Start an
English class and introduce themes related to happy families and
eventually introduce participants to Divine Principle and Bless them.
4. Blessing
tourists at the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign.
The members present lastly agreed
to try out their own unique and individual ways of Blessing fellow brothers and
sisters in their community and come and share their experiences and settle down
on which method really works.
Volunteers for the booth
committee were asked to contact Mr. James Rigney.
Researching on the potential
venues were to be followed up by Rev. Ken Doo and Mr. Shahram Sedehi.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 pm with a prayer
and a group picture. The next meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday,
September 19, 2018.
