My own experience as a member reaching out to pastors and/or religious leaders, whenever I minister to religious leaders I look for a place of common ground where we could agree on fundamental principles to begin with.

For example:

1. Our common LOVE for GOD, why we are religious leaders

2. Our concern about the breakdown of marriage in the community as the corner stone of the nation.

3. The division among religious leaders regardless of Faith as God is our Parent.

I have found that when we get the religious leaders to agree on these common values and concerns, they are more open to dialogue. I try to connect with the leader's HEART...a place where sincerity and love dwell.

I realize when a leader feel your sincerity, humility and commitment, it open the opportunity to begin to introduce Unification principles. It's a gradual process. (Always focus on commonality and Heart).

Even if or when I face rejection, I don't take it personally, but continue to set conditions in prayer, and continue to reach out to the contact made. This usually builds a deeper communication.

I always believe absolutely that by Father's example of determination, we WILL eventually win over those who reject us. We MUST continue to follow up until victory is won.

Finally, set a goal with regards to how many religious leaders you will inspire. Spirit world will help you.
