A Letter from the President: Godible – “Let God’s Word Be Heard”
August 9, 2019
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Imagine if we were all on the same page. Imagine if we were all resonating with wonder and pride in our Heavenly Parent and True Parents. Imagine if we went out each day even more inspired, somehow able to find solutions to problems more easily, and inspire others to be happier. Would you like to be more happy and make those around you happy?
Recently I’ve been reflecting on the nature of the challenges we face, and I realized that they all share a common cause. In fact, all problems in human history stem from the same problem. When we are distant from the Word, we create all kinds of problems. That is why True Parents initiated Hoon Dok Hwe, and Dr. Kim has been consistent in his guidance about the importance of this sacred tradition. True Father was even quite specific about how to organize it:
“Prepare in advance the Hoon Dok Hwe content relevant to each of the 365 days in a year. A unified Hoon Dok Hwe program must be implemented throughout the whole world. You should be able to say, “The Hoon Dok Hwe reading for today is…” Whether eating or occupied with work, whenever you have the opportunity, you should discuss and converse on the content for that day.” (Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 11, chapter 2, section 3, No. 10)
Therefore, we are going to conduct a Unified National Hoon Dok Hwe Program, whereby we will all finish True Mother’s Anthology together by the end of the year. Regardless of whether you have recently completed the Anthology, or you are already reading daily, this is an extra condition that can unite us with God and True Parents, and also put us on the same page together as a family.
To help you enjoy this incredible opportunity, we are launching Godible, our new exciting way to do HDH. Godible will help you participate in a daily 10-minute reading by sending you a snippet straight to your mobile device. Visit Godible.org or text ‘Godible’ to 33444 and sign up now! It’s absolutely free. [Watch the launch of Godible at the August Monthly Meeting.]
Remember, True Mother has called all of us, including those that we’re reaching out to and partnering with, to create a new movement that attends God. We need to be the vanguard of that movement, and we do so by starting with the Word. Making sure that every day our mind, heart, and soul is resonating with the life-giving Word from our True Parents will help us fulfill our responsibility and lead this nation. So sign up for Godible now. It’s time for God’s Word to be heard.
God Bless you and your families,
Rev. Demian Dunkley
President of Family Federation for a Heavenly USA

This brings Hoondokhwe to me wherever I’m at. Before Godible I wasn’t really reading True Parents’ words that much/at all. But having it on my phone and with the audio reading gives me zero excuses to not do it. Thanks Demian and everyone at HQ!

Hi,
I love it, using it everyday! Thank you for this investment.
Several members in our community with Japanese version mentioned to me that they are no longer receiving the emails or texts. Will this be fixed? Thank you!
Sincerely,
Nelson Mira / Seattle

Dear Nelson. Thank you for your inquiry. Please ask the Japanese members to write to support@godible.org with their issues. We cannot help them until they have written in. Thank you.

It makes Hoon Dok Hwe so easy and one can feel that one is reading / listening to it together with thousands of others, someday millions. :) I’m sending the link everyday to my daughter in Canada. It seems she was not able to sign up. Because her phone is not a US area code?

Very excited, haven’t missed a day since it went out, because it’s so practical and easy and fun and educational, makes me think of True Mother first thing in the morning when I play it. Once we have it as an app and with lot more content let’s all subscribe to this and pay, just like we do for audible or other educational apps. Amazing future ahead, thank you to all the staff who works on this, so blessed with your leadership.

This is an excellent idea, Demian. What a great way to unite us as a family. Now we can all be “on the same page” everyday in worship literally and figuratively.

Dear Rev. Dunkley,
Thank you and thank Heavenly Parent for your inspiration to create such a program.
I had my own small inspiration to come up with this system a couple of months ago.
The only thing is that I wish there could be a way for me to invite my friends and family to know what I read and my reflection on it. In other words, to leave comments on it which could be read by other people.
What is the easiest way to do this? Maybe I will create a messaging group with our local church members and simply copy and paste the content that I read for that day.
Thank you again.

Dear Jorge, Thank you for your message. We would prefer you did not copy and past the material into a facebook post or any social media or email post. If you wish your family and friends to participate, you can direct them to godible.org and they can sign up for the daily words.

This is a God send. I can read True Parents words on my phone. I need to be more enveloped in the Holy Spirit by constantly reading God’ s word.
