Chicago Approach Book Developed

Rich & Yukimi Lemont-Chicago, IL

In the never-ending battle for Truth, Justice and the True Parent's Way Chicago Region 6 has developed an approach book to use in contacting Christian Ministers and familiarizing them with the True Family Values Ministry.

The book was developed in response to a request from Rev. Ki Hun Kim, regional director for Chicago. 24 pages of color photos and proclamations and letters of appreciation focus on some of the 23 Blessing activities that took place in Christian churches that TFV works with. Others show some of the TFV lecture seminars and prayer breakfasts and Awards Banquets that TFV have sponsored.

Copies of the Approach Book can be ordered from Chicago Region 6 HQ. The cost is $30 per copy. Call, fax, write or e-mail: Chicago Region 6 HQ; Attn: Nobuko; 7450 N. Sheridan, Chicago, IL 60626; TEL 773-274-7441; FAX 773-274-9860; RichLemont@Juno.com

Greetings

True Parent's birthday activities this year had a new twist; Chicago Regional Director Rev. Ki Hun Kim carried birthday greetings to True Parents from the Mayor of Chicago as well as an album of cards and photos from TFV ministers in Chicago. The Chicago ministers lent substance to their wishes with a birthday gift of over $7000 to our True Parents. Some of the ministers and their cards are shown.
