MEMORANDUM

To: All Blessed Central Families
From: Dr. Chang Shik Yang and Rev. Michael Jenkins
Date: August 12, 2006
RE: Second 40 Day Condition of the 7 Year Course

We sincerely thank all brothers and sisters for their efforts during this first 40 day period of transition for the American movement, which began on July 2nd. We have made a significant progress in the transition process, and new leadership is emerging. On Thursday we completed the 40 day period with a special visit by Dae Mo Nim at UTS. A large group graduated from the 21 Day Blessed Wives Workshop and the Husbands 8 Day workshop. In addition, 2,400 gathered at UTS for the special day of ancestor liberation and blessing. It was deeply uplifting and inspiring to Dae Mo Nim and our leadership to see the sincere heart of American blessed families - Korean, Japanese, Black, White, Hispanic, Native America, European, African - all Americans engaged in and supporting the work of the "Elder Son Nation."

Second 40 Day Period:

The three 40 day periods starting from July 2nd represent the "Providence for the Start" of the 7 year course from 2006 to 2013. During this time period, it is of paramount importance that we set the right spiritual foundation for this time of transition and new development for America.

After the completion of the first 40 days, we will take three days for reflection and preparation. The second 40 day period will begin on August 14, and ends on September 22. At its conclusion, we will again spend three days for reflection and preparation. Therefore the third 40 day period will run from September 26 - November 4.

Prayer Points for the Second 40 Days:

1. That America can stand substantially as the Elder Son nation, and that our American movement can harvest the fruit of True Parents' 34 years of sacrifice and investment in America.

2. That all blessed central families in America can deeply and sincerely unite and successfully establish the providence for the start for this new seven year course through the three forty-day periods.

3. That each of us can understand and see from God's viewpoint:

a) Concerning myself, my family and our responsibility as a blessed central family and tribal messiah during these next seven years.
b) That I can discover the unique role and mission to which God is calling me, and that I can take ownership of that role and mission.

Practical Points during this 40 days:

1. Read the three speeches from True Parents' World Tour - two per day (or listen to the speeches on MP3 files, which can be downloaded from www.blessingamerica.org.

2. Create a spirit of inclusion among all who have been touched by True Parents' ministry since its inception in America. Reach out to every member or former member of the American movement. Share inspiration, love and encouragement for this time of great promise. Seek ways so that all can participate and contribute during the next 7 years.

3. District directors, in consultation with block advisors and Regional and State leaders in the district, implement the new system for the US movement, centered on twelve districts and coordinating councils.
