Agenda Item #1: Outreach leaders: Yuko Faris and Toshiko McCash come to share about their needs for outreach Method: Yuko Faris shared the current activities and programs Toshiko McCash has been doing.

Action: Possible needs for additional support: a) Identify 7 to 12 contacts that Rev. K, would call once per month. Especially important with Asian and Filipino contacts. b) Senator Shin possibly on H1’s side and other difficult higher level contacts Rev. K. could help AFP reconnect. Suggestion from council is that politicians are impressed by volunteers who help them. c) State leader Pastor Nelson, who is Filipino, was promised to help AFP connect better with the Filipino community. AFP would like Pastor Nelson’s help in connecting with the Filipino community. d) Money is needed to buy more medals for Veteran recognition. Suggestion from council is to make a presentation of results and make an appeal for donations directly to the community. e) Toshiko needs Rev. K’s help to reconnect with Rob Mckenna’s daughter because she doesn’t understand Toshiko’s English.

Additional help needed: a) Rev. K.: we need to coordinate and schedule the political outreach in Olympia, Wa. b) Michael Balcomb: Keep in touch with UPF WaDc offices to find out who they meet there from your state.

Agenda Item #2: Sarah Nishioka shared about WFWP Method: Sarah N. shared what WFWP has been doing.

Agenda Item #3: Michael Balcomb sharing Discussion: 1. Discussed Lovin’ Life Pastors’ going in transition over the next year to being fully funded by local communities. National HQ needs a commitment from local communities to take over payroll for existing LLM pastors.

2. Foundations Day preparations are need to make it a memorable event locally. Each community needs to prepare the event with or without a simultaneous feed from Korea in case of tech problems. Some ideas- from the events in Korea- are to provide a scarf, take home cake, souvenir photos, bottle for holy wine holy salt, games, dancing, musical performances, gift bag, child care, food. Good idea to remind everyone to wear new clothes, at least something new.

3. Take council meetings on the road like a District level town hall meeting, even away from the main area. Recommend each church have a financial committee. Especially important is to have subcommittees to make decisions and take actions.
