Important Message about the OSDP Workshops

May the love and the blessings of our Heavenly Parents and our True Parents be with you.

Thank you for supporting True Parents’ education program through the Original Substance of the Divine Principle (OSDP). We want to clarify to everyone that even though the current program is focused on clergy, Ambassadors for Peace, women leaders and CARP representatives, True Parents also consider our members as part of this providential condition of faith for 3,000 to successfully complete the OSDP program by the middle of December. The original 40-day National Condition of Prayer and Action to educate 3,000 in America through OSDP has been extended through December with the permission of our True Parents.

True Father was in Las Vegas when he first called for 3,000 to be educated. He called for clergy to come but he also expected that each one of the 172 would bring 12 representatives that could be their own disciples. He shared with the clergy that each one of them, as a person of faith, has to become the embodiment of the religious founder of their faith. So, those who are Christians should become the embodiment of Jesus Christ. To do this, True Father gave the direction that each one must establish their twelve.

We want to encourage members of all ages (especially our Second Generation, who are greatly benefitting from attending the OSDP workshops) to participate directly in this condition. It is a very significant stepping stone for True Parents’ plan to secure America as the Elder Son Nation, to unify North and South Korea, and to bring about the unity of Korea, Japan and America, establishing Cheon Il Guk by January 13, 2013 (Foundation Day).

True Father said that this education is also the condition to strengthen America spiritually to support the Abel UN so that the existing UN (Cain UN) will be guided by God’s providence to support the development of God’s Kingdom.

Therefore, we want to give all Brothers and Sisters this note of love, encouragement and clarification that according to True Parents’ heart and direction, every single Blessed Family member, including the younger generation, should complete the OSDP workshop as soon as possible. Originally the workshop was a 7-day program. However, because this involves the education of clergy, grace has been given to shorten the workshop to three nights and four days.

Due to the commitment of our national President and Senior Pastor, Reverend In Jin Moon, and national Unification Church leadership, as well as all of our Blessed Families and organizations, the cost of registration has been reduced by more than 60 percent, to open the gates for this providential condition to be fulfilled on time.

In addition, one of the important discoveries we have made through the two OSDP programs held in October is that the spirit of the Blessed members, who are truly the most prepared religious people and central in God’s dispensation, has an enormous effect on the clergy. We know that there is a huge outpouring of grace and blessing from the Holy Spirit upon these gatherings that include elder and younger, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Jews, Christians and Muslims. We have never had convocations where the Blessed Families stand side-by-side with the clergy. Truly, the Blessed Families of all generations are prepared people, with a deep understanding of the Word of God, a deep heart of knowing God’s suffering and tears to save humanity.

Many of the clergy have commented that they felt purified just to be in the presence of our Brothers and Sisters. With this in mind, we want to encourage everyone to make the effort to fulfill this providential call from our True Parents to all of us. We sincerely thank you for your faith.

Please join us in Atlantic City this Sunday, November 6 through Wednesday, November 9. And please join us in Las Vegas from Monday, November 14 through Thursday, November 17.

Thank you and God bless your family!
