Unificationist Leaders Commit to a Heavenly Africa
On April 24 in New York, Unificationist representatives of African descent met with Regional Chairman of Family Federation North America, Dr. Ki Hoon Kim, and President of Family Federation for a Heavenly USA, Rev. Richard Buessing, to discuss how to best support the Unification movement in Africa and the upcoming Africa Diaspora Leadership Conference.
During the meeting, Dr. Kim shared with the representatives True Mother’s vision for a new, heavenly Africa centered on Senegal, where the World Africa Summit was held in January. He went on to call all Unificationists to own and expand upon the foundation laid by True Mother in her prayer for the ancestors of Africa at the Island of Gorée, the largest slave-trading center on the African coast between the 15th and 19th centuries. Dr. Kim reminded the leaders of True Parents’ incredible heart for God and all of humanity. Therefore, Dr. Kim explained, it is truly a blessing to know True Parents and in return, fulfill God’s will, as told in Isaiah 46:11.
Following Dr. Kim’s moving message, Dr. Achille Acolaste, Pastor of the Washington, D.C. Family Church and Chairman of the African Diaspora Leadership Conference, gave a brief report about how Unificatoinists of African descent are striving to unite with True Mother’s vision for Africa. Dr. Acolaste presented the different organizing committees that are currently preparing for the African Diaspora Leadership Conference, which will be held in July at the International Peace Education Center (IPEC). This special conference will be an opportunity for Unificationists of African descent around the nation to connect with one another not only to fortify the Unification movement in Africa, but also to facilitate tribal messiahship. “We are extremely encouraged by their determination and commitment,” said Rev. Buessing after the meeting.

I do believe that this will be an oppotunity for the African Unificationist Diaspora Community at large, including those living in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, will get involve and in good time in order for them to contribute in the development of the Tribal Messiaship success in Africa, where there is a lot of potential for the task.

This is the good news. Here in africa, it’s easy to do tribal messiahship but the problem is that members in a frica are very poor. They use all their time to look for small money for the family. Other second generation aren’t study…. To succed tribal messiahship, it’s important to create economics activities to support members who are engaged in tribal messiahship.

As African descent, I am deeply grateful to our beloved True Parents specially towards our beloved True Mother for such an historical liberation of our ancestors who have been waiting so long for such a grace time. Dr Ki Hoon Kim & Rev Buessing are just amazing and outstanding leaders with big heart. I was inspired by the encouraging words from Dr Kim, also the moving prayer in closing led by Rev Richard Buessing. Now the ball is in our camp to do our very best to fulfill our divine mission as truly chosen people in such time in Heavenly Parent’s providence centering on our beloved True Parents. Yes, we can do it! Ajuuu
