HTM Academy Europe: Guidelines for Heavenly Tribal Messiah Work in Africa

Many greetings from the HTM Academy Europe Office.

With this memo we would like to explain the process for those Blessed Couples who wish to bless a tribe in Africa.

But first for clarification, to be recognised on the National Level as HTM Victors in Europe, requires that we bless 43 couples in our home nations. To be recognised by True Mother as HTM Victors in Europe requires that we bless 120 couples in our home nations, out of a total number of 430 couples.

Many HTM couples have chosen to bless additional couples overseas, particularly in Africa, to help them then fulfill the total number of 430. Attached you find the proposed rules and general guidelines from the African HQ for Heavenly Tribal Messiah activities in Africa.

The African HQ would like that we only deal with complete tribes of 430 couples. You may therefore wish to join with one or more other couples to sponsor a tribe together. This would probably make it easier to continue investing with that tribe after the Blessing, both financially and in terms of going to visit sometimes.

There are two ways to establish a tribe in Africa:

1. To inherit a tribe that is already established

Total fee is US$ 4,500 – US$ 500 goes to the regional HQ, US$ 4,000 goes to the national HQ to pay back the expenses related to the blessing, education and 3 day ceremony of 430 couples. The money is also used to offset expenses related to the administrative work of the HTM national office, such as typing albums and other expenses related to the management of the tribe.

2. To establish a tribe from scratch

Total fee is US$ 4,500 – US$ 500 goes to the regional HQ, US$ 4,000 is used to establish the tribe. This money should be used to finance the blessing ceremony and the 3 day ceremony of 430 couples. This includes all expenses related to blessing and 3 day ceremony such as talk time transport accommodation allowances for the mobilizers.

However, if the main mobilizer is not an HTM victor, there are possibilities that the overseas HTM candidate finances his own tribe and the tribe of the main mobilizer.

In this case the total cost is US$ 8,600 – US$ 600 goes to the regional HQ and US$ 8,000 should be used to establish two tribes of 430 couples each.

What to do next

Step 1 – Write an email to the European office requesting that you want to do HTM work in Africa. The conduct person is David Franklin reachable under htmafricaeurope@ gmail,com

Step 2 – The European Office will inform the African HQ about your request.

Step 3 – The European Office will inform you about the location of your proposed tribe. If you agree and with the cost involved, the European Office will bring you in direct contact with the local leadership to set it all up together with them.

We hope these guidelines can be helpful for the benefit and success of HTM activities in Africa and in our EUME region.

Yours sincerely,

David and Patricia Earle

Directors, HTM Academy Europe
