Dear Brothers and Sisters of Family Federation USA,
How are you? It’s been a while since I last wrote to you. I am now traveling back to the U.S. after an incredible journey with our family members in Asia. I missed all of you, and I look forward to reconnecting.
You may be surprised by the sudden changes in leadership and structure. These changes are not limited to the USA. Both Korea and Japan are going through changes, and it’s possible that there may be more coming. It is not by chance that the three providential nations are undergoing structural changes.
True Mother successfully dedicated the Cheon Won Gung to Heavenly Parent on May 7, and I can testify that she has a very clear vision of where we need to go now. We are not in the same era as last month. It’s a new era for sure.
Over the last two weeks, I’ve been blessed to spend a lot of time with True Mother, who is handling all the changes personally and giving us very clear guidance. Based on this guidance, I plan to gather with our leaders and offer jeongseong at our national Cheongshim Won in Las Vegas before making any other decisions.
Let us thank Dr. Chung Sik Yong for his total investment in America for the past 2.5 years. He has been called back to the fatherland for the sake of supporting a Heavenly Unified Korea. And, of course, we thank Rev. Naokimi for his faithful dedication, and all of our precious leaders and members who have been working tirelessly for the providence in America.
I am humbled that True Mother has appointed me in the dual roles of Regional Chairman and National President of FFWPU-USA.
True Mother has guided us to conduct a special inauguration ceremony on Sunday, May 28, at the New Yorker Hotel, and she has asked the newly appointed International President of FFWPU, Rev. Yong Cheon Song, and International UPF Chair, Dr. Chang Shik Yang, to attend the inauguration, and express True Mother’s intentions with these new changes.
It’s common for transitions to spark at least a brief sense of uncertainty, but with True Mother at the helm, we have nothing to fear as long as we are united with her. There is deep meaning in the changes True Mother is making, so please pray to Heavenly Parent for Heaven’s perspective. True Mother has repeatedly reminded us that if we stay united with her, we will be victorious.
I can promise you, that True Mother loves our American members deeply. True Mother loves America. She has given so much to us in ways we did not even know, and she needs us now more than ever.
There is a lot that True Mother has given me to convey to you, but I just wanted to send a short greeting for now.
Thank you and may Heavenly Parent Bless you,
Rev. Demian and Yumiko Dunkley
Regional Chair & National President
