ACLC Pastor Requests Fall of Man to be Taught to men's group

Kyouko Yamaguchi / April 9^th, 2016

Pastor Giddens invited us to give a lecture at his church’s Men’s Ministry Study Group.  

Pastor Giddens always tells me that he can deal with all the teachings of the Divine Principle 

including the Fall of Man, the failure of John the Baptist, and the Mission of Jesus, except the last part, about True Father being the Messiah.  He said that Dan has already put one foot into his 

door, so why not bring him to teach the Fall of Man to his Men’s Ministry group.

On April 9^th, Dan and I went to Unity Baptist Church to present the Fall of Man.  Many members of the Men’s Ministry had also attended the Marriage Blessing Ceremony which was held at this 

church last November, and we were welcomed very warmly.

Dan’s presentation was very powerful.  The Church was in crisis.  The church had lost its 

backbone and moral authority in society, and was watching helplessly as its young people were 

taken one by one, by the fall, into the secular world, never to return.  The good news was that God had known that such a day was coming, and had sent His messenger to bring His message to the churches.  That messenger was Rev. Sun Myung Moon, and the message was “Christianity in 

Crisis.”  A pivotal part of that message was the presentation on the Fall of Man

The participants listened attentively and they seem to have received the message well.  After the 

presentation, we had a Q&A session, and Rev. Emanuel Wasson lead the discussion.  

Rev. Wasson also gave a beautiful testimony on how the Fall of Man’s truth gave him strength in 

his marriage life.

Pastor Giddens gave the closing prayer and also commented that each person who attended the 

study session should reach out to spread the message:  “each one, reach one.”
