True Mother appoints Naokimi Ushiroda President of USA and Director USA Subregion 1; David Rendel replaced by Kazuo Takami Director USA Subregion 3; Larry Krishnek replaced by Kevin Thompson USA Director Subregion 5

Thank you for your continued devotion and investment for Heavenly Parent and True Parents! As you know, our True Mother made structural changes to our worldwide movement and many leaders received new missions.

As I came to America as the Regional President of Family Federation North America, Rev. Demian Dunkley, who was President of Family Federation USA, received a new mission to guide our movement in Asia.

It is my pleasure to announce that with True Mother’s recommendation, the board of directors has appointed Rev. Naokimi Ushiroda as the new president of the Family Federation for a Heavenly USA. Rev. Ushiroda will also serve as the Subregional Director of Subregion 1, the Northeast. This is really True Parents’ wisdom and blessing to suggest second generation leadership at this time.

In addition to recommending the new president, True Mother recommended new Subregional Directors for the Midwest and Western subregions.

In Subregion 3, the Midwest, Rev. David Rendel is stepping from the position of Subregional Director and joining our HQ staff. Rev. Kazuo Takami, who has served as the District Pastor in Hawaii, is appointed as Subregional Director of Subregion 3, Midwest.

In Subregion 5, the West, Rev. Larry Krishnek is stepping from the position of Subregional Director and joining the Senior Pastors’ Association, with a special mission to support the CheonBo families and guide all the American families to register in the CheonBo Won. Rev. Kevin Thompson, the District Pastor of District 11 in Northern California, is appointed as Subregional Director of Subregion 5, West.

Rev. Ernest Patton remains the Subregional Director of Subregion 2, Southeast, and Rev. John Jackson remains the Subregional Director of Subregion 4, Southwest.

Let us join in support of Rev. Ushiroda as he takes on this new mission as President of Family Federation for a Heavenly USA. We wish him and the Subregional Directors success as we start the next 7-year course to 2027. Let us work together in unity with True Parents to bring great victory in America.

God Bless you and your families,

Dr. Chung Sik Yong Regional President, North America
