ACLC Prayer Meeting was held at Sioux Falls , South Dakota on Friday, May 23.  North & South Dakota joined together to pray for unity among the Religions, Nations and the World centering  on Christianity.  Our program was lead by State Leader Rev.

Rev. John Foss began the meeting by reading from the New Testament, Revelations 22, announcing the coming of the New Heaven and New Earth.  Rev. Dennis Huffman read "The Ideal Family and True Love" from the Mother Moon's last speaking Tour  Peace Message.

Rev. Hakim Kane Spoke of his recent trip to Sudan.  His Hometown has suffered war for decades with his family and tribe shattered and scattered.  With "tentative" peace, his tribe is returning.  He is now desperate to build a "Family Church" in South Sudan.  His daughter and he attended the Family Church in Khartoum, North Sudan.  The Family Church in Khartoum is successfully bringing unity to it's Christian and Muslim associates by teaching True Family Values.  The Sudanese children of all ages eagerly thirst for knowledge, as they gather together "singing" their lessons in unison.  Rev. Hakim is now formulating a plan to help his people in South Sudan, returning the blessings he has received from God to them.

An "Ambassador for Peace" Certificate was given to Mr. Christopher Yuyad for outstanding parenting. We also appointed our youngest recipient of "Ambassador for Peace Jr.", Abiaza Hakim Kane.  He is a 4 year old preschooler. He is the son of Pastor Hakim Kane & Japanese Missionary Izumi Ai Kane.  He is a amazing son, loyal to his parents, always taking good care of sister (2 years old).
His beaming big smile just melts anyone's heart (see his picture below).  He wants to be President of United State of America in the future. We have to give him diplomatic education.

Pastor Julias Badigo stands firmly and faithfully with True Parents vision and respect Pastor Kane.  He received 30 hours one-to-one Divine Principle lecture from Rev. Seo. He miss him very much. A beautiful sister from Ethiopia Melesech Ayele enjoyed our meeting. she is good Christian.  She shared some of her culture and family.
