The Words of the Erikawa Family

Tourist News Letter No. 10

Mrs. Erickawa
October 23, 1999

I would like to thank all the Japanese group leaders and everybody in every country in the world for your hard work. Congratulations on the Blessing anniversary of the 777 couples. The continental "sightseeing" news is sent out with the prayer of hope for the development of the entire USA. As we continue on our path we finally realize the Heavenly Blessing on a daily basis.

From the Mexican team two guests have decided to attend the Blessing in South Korea. I have full confidence that we can fulfill our goal of bringing 5200 matching candidates to the blessing in Seoul.

This time is a time of miracles and every member is a soldier of 100 wars and 100 victories. The homecoming schedule of TP to New York was postponed because of a hurricane in South America.

I have a request for each group leader and get confirmation from you for each of the following items:

1. Each group leader, please send in your report on a regular basis without fail. This is not only for your own country, but also for the purpose of raising the standard of the whole. Here are the countries that have not reported for at least 5 days: Honduras, Paraguay Uruguay The problem is that without your report, I can not analyze the results properly and get the right statistics for my report to True Parents. Costa Rica and St. Lucia faithfully report every day. Please cooperate with me and send your report every day.

2. The second mobilization has now begun. Initially 4,200 Japanese Sister were invited to come and visit the USA. Now we want to invite all of the Japanese Sisters to come and visit. The Travel Agent (NM) in each country is asked to make an effort to invite everyone assigned to his country. It has even be suggested that the Continental Director could go to Korea and from there help to arrange for the travel of the second group of tourists to come to the USA beginning in November and returning in February. This is the time where Heavenly Fortune is surging like a hurricane flood. We need to take advantage of this Heavenly Blessing coming to us. If we loose this time period it can have serious consequences for God's worldwide Providence. Please, everyone come as soon as possible. We want to take advantage of the Heavenly Blessings that are being poured out upon us now. We absolutely want to accomplish the target number of tourist coming to this country.

3. The University Contact Report. The results on University Campuses look very hopeful. Please fill out the attached report form and send it to Headquarters.

4. When you fill out the report and answer the questions, please do not only fill out the results of the tourists, but also the results of the Regional and State local members. It is most important that US members commit themselves and be revived.

5. Please pay attention when you fill out the report. The date shown on the report should be the date of the activities when the result was made, not the date you fill out the report. The total number should be the total since we started on October 1st, 1999.

6. The central person to communicate with the field and gather information, create and send out reports is Mr. Fujio. He uses a JPEG file. His e-mail address is fuji6000@aol.com.

Testimonies from various places in the North American Continent

Mexican team

We changed our witnessing approach today. We were asking people to fill out Blessing Applications on the streets. Others also went to visit churches. 27 people signed the Blessing Application form. 10 people who signed the form also came to the center and heard lectures concerning the Blessing. One sister signed up 7 blessing candidates. She worked very hard talking to everyone who walked passed her. Two of those candidates want to attend the Blessing in Korea. They had been on their honeymoon there some time ago and they want to go back to Korea to be blessed.

The sister always wants to go out to witness. If it was her turn to cook for the center, she always had a hard time, because she wanted to be out witnessing instead.

Married people originally do not qualify for this upcoming blessing, so might be announcing here something that has not been officially approved. I will clarify about this situation in the near future. Anyway, we should look for 5200 single people to take to the blessing.

Colombian team

Now guests are bringing their friends to the center and the workshop. One guest brought his friend and he decided to go to a 1-Day Workshop. They both ended up going to the workshop.

Argentine team

Persons who filled out the Blessing Application were called via the telephone to attend the Workshop. Out of 30 people called, 15 accepted to attend. This deepened my faith and conviction in the way God is helping us. The Japanese sisters work on the front line. American members give the after care. This is a good system and it we work well together. Korea, Japan and the USA are united. The American leaders who spend 40 days in Japan and South Korea have returned home. They had powerful experiences and from now on it will be much easier for the Japanese and American members to work together.

Bolivian team

One brother came to the center because he was attracted to one of he sisters. I was hoping to be able to help him in the Principle. He stayed for a lecture and also attended our evening program. It is possible to invite new guests during the day and have the return guest come in the evening after work. They can listen to a lecture and then stay with us for dinner. On Saturdays they can participate in a half-day workshop and then go on to our 2-day workshop. We also held a Japan night in a town 1-hour away.

American team

We made a condition for 5 people to finish the 2-day workshop and to sign the blessing application book and go on to become devoted full time members who can work to save America. Our 7 day workshop will finish soon. I asked the entire American team to pray for these brothers, especially one brother from Madagascar. He came to the USA to start a new life and to find a wife. He has been praying to God every day to find a wife. When he heard the workshop and understood about the Blessing, he went to the chapel and tearfully and gratefully prayed for 40 minutes. His commitment and faith even astonished us.

I am praying for your victory in everything you do. God Bless you and your family,

World Itinerary Y. E.
