Re.: Announcement Regarding the Seventh Phase of the International Blessing of 400 Million Couples

Receipt for blessing donation

Health certificate (including the results of an AIDS test)

All blessing candidates must undergo a health examination and be tested for HIV/AIDS. Darker-skinned blessing candidates must additionally take a sickle cell test. Candidates from Southeast Asia must additionally take an electrophoresis test and blood test.

* Please pay particular attention not to admit to the matching alcoholics, people who are mentally ill or suffering from epilepsy, people involved in gambling, criminals and homosexuals. Please keep in mind that the people infected with HIV may sometimes test negative for HIV in the initial examination because the virus stays dormant (and thus undetectable) for three months in the body, after which it becomes active. Therefore, after the matching ceremony, leaders are strongly encouraged to receive a statement from the candidates that includes a record of any instances of donating blood or sexual contact in the previous three months, in order to check the possibility of HIV infection. If a candidate tests positive for HIV after the blessing ceremony, the blessing will be nullified and the candidate will be deemed the injuring party.

Certificate of graduation from school/college

Certificate of employment or enrollment in college etc.

For re-Blessing candidates: Documents verifying that the candidate is re-applying for the Blessing

Re-blessing candidates who come under any one of the following three categories are eligible to participate in the upcoming matching ceremony, as long as they provide documentation that proves that they do.

a) Those whose previous spouse has already been re-blessed;

b) Those whose previous spouse has already married outside of the church;

c) Those whose previous spouse has not been re-blessed or married but does not present any objections to the candidate’s intention to seek re-blessing.

Those in charge of compiling this information should thoroughly prepare, collect and record the requested information. Please remind the candidates that their foreheads should not be covered but be fully visible in their photographs.
