Report from ND & SD ACLC Prayer Meeting:

We gathered for an ACLC meeting in Sioux falls,on June 05 at Rev.Hakim's Family Church.  It was just weeks after our last meeting, because Rev. Hakim's wife Izumi-san will soon deliver their 3rd baby. Their family wanted to make a good condition by having this meeting, to honor God and place others before themselves. 

Even under the storms and  heavy rains, guest arrived one by one.  We were so blessed to have our District Director, Rev. Carl Swearson, and Mrs Keiko Takahashi, the district's Japanese Missionary living in MPLS center drive 225 miles to participate. Keiko is a magnificent musician and music teacher. Her beautiful Bach arrangement invited the Holy Spirit into our gathering.

Rev. Mayuri Hoffman opened the program and introduce Mrs. Foss from North Dakota.  Mrs. Foss explained purpose of ACLC, which is to rebuild the family and renew the Community.  Our mission is to restore the nation & world through unifying the body of Christ centering Christianity and embrace all the world's religions.   We must take down all walls & barriers among all races and cultures.  "Let's begin this with peace in our minds. From this moment on, let's stop all war with this everlasting True Love.

Rev. Swearson shared about the up-coming event " Global Peace Festival" scheduled to be held in Washington DC from August 9 -11. He would like to every family to participate or send one representative. He personally would like to use this opportunity for his family vacation to the east coast.

Rev. Hakim shared about the progress at Khartoum, where 6 Muslims and 6 Christian's attended a 7 day "True Family Values" workshop and received certificates of completion. His daughter was among them. He was so happy.

Our main reading was presented by Rev. Dennis Hoffman, "Inter-Cultural marriage Blessing and World Peace.  Abiaza passed around Love Offering basket, and collected $80 for ACLC work. Thanks to Everyone!!!

Our shared lunch dishes are always big hits.  Izumi-san made Sudanese food and Mayuri-san brought her home-made potato salad.  Everyone was treated with some Oriental with Green Tea. Our Guests from Sudan, Ethiopia, Korea, and Japan were so happy to find others to share with about the present situation in their countries.

It was another very nice meeting.  We want to make sure God is happy, by living in unity & harmony among all families & guests.

May the Ideal world begin on this earth and may it's Peace be with everyone.
