Jesus and I would love to come to Europe for 6-8 weeks and spend some time with people who are interested in learning more about the practical application of Divine Truth.

We are proposing to stop for 10-12 days in three different European locations. In each location, we’d like to meet with groups of up to 30 people in an informal setting (like a large living room or affordable venue) to hold a series of discussions over a period of 7-10 days. These talks would following one or more themes and allow for questions and answers.

This format will allow participants to:

• gain a deeper understanding of God’s Principles and how to apply them to daily life, relationships, and problems

• gain a clearer picture of their current spiritual and emotional condition; including their biggest blocks to God at that time

• have time for reflection and processing between meetings and to raise follow up questions as they arise over the 10 day period

Jesus and I have been teaching using this format in our own living room and patio area for about five years. Many of the participants at these talks have found these informal long-themed discussions to be very effective in helping them to challenge their façade, understand their biggest blocks, develop a sincere longing for God, and to value God’s Opinion (God’s Morality) for the first time.

We know that many people overseas are not making spiritual changes in harmony with the principles of God’s Truth. We would like to offer this opportunity to sincere people in Europe so that they can engage with a similar style of teaching to that which we have been using in our own home here in Australia.

This is why we are proposing the ‘living room tour’.

What we require to make the tour happen

Assistance with Logistics

• Motivated people in Europe (at least one in each location we visit) who are willing to work with me, Mary, to help with logistical arrangements to ensure our requirements are met.

These people must be humble to feedback and willing to listen to and implement requests.

Accommodation

• 10-14 days accommodation in each area we will visit to give talks

It is important that Jesus and I have our own accommodation in each location. We have found that it is not suitable for us to stay with people in their homes as people often become angry when they receive personal feedback and/or are needy for our time and attention.

We must have time and space for our own emotions and relaxation. However we don’t mind if our accommodation is also the venue for discussions; that is, it would be fine if the venue was a large living room in the house or apartment where we are staying.

Meeting Space

• A 30-40 square meter space where people can come and meet with us, and where we can hold talks. This is the minimum space required.

The space could be a living room area in our accommodation, space in someone else’s home, or a local venue. Ideally, Jesus and I should have ready access to the space and it would be best if we could leave our minimal recording equipment set up for the duration of our stay.

The benefit of the meeting space being in, or near to, our accommodation is that we can ensure that equipment is well cared for and safe. It also allows us to hold impromptu gatherings based on our desires.

Funds

• Donations to cover air fares to Europe and pay for accommodation/venues in each country.

Please keep in mind that when we travel we still have to cover our regular expenses here in Australia. Note, that if you already donate to us to cover our expenses (thank you), and simply switch your donations to be towards this trip, our net funds available for travel are not increased.

Donations will need to be in addition to our normal funds received.

Equipment

• Hire or purchase of some basic cables for audio recording in the country we visit

We will bring audio recording equipment, that is, microphones and a small mixer, but will need some cabling to connect these in each country that we visit.

If people wish to video record the meetings, that would need to be arranged with Jesus and I prior to the event and all recordings shared with us.

Timing

We would like to make this trip in the months of July and August in either 2024 or 2025.

Which year we visit will be dependent upon:

• The current God’s Way Ltd & Divine Truth building plans and how to time a trip so that these building works are least interrupted
• Whether or not there are people in Europe who are sincere, humble, and willing to assist with logistics; including people who can help us to find accommodation and a venue
• Whether or not we receive enough donations to cover the expenses of this trip

What You Can Do To Register Your Interest to Help or Attend

At the moment, Jesus and I don’t have a clear indication of how many people would be interested in such an opportunity.

To register your interest to attend, or to help out, you can:

• Send an email to mary@divinetruth.com expressing your interest to attend one or more discussion and telling me your location (or your preferred location for talks)
• If you have the ability to assist with logistics please also outline what you feel you can help with; including if you have a venue or accommodation in mind that may meet our requirements.
• If you would like to donate towards the living room tour you can do so via the usual channels which are detailed on our website, please use the code: DTASSISTGRP. You can use the clickable link ‘Divine Truth Assistance Group’ under ‘Select Your Donation Type’ on the Divine Truth website donation page.

I will provide further updates via the blog once we gauge interest and potential assistance in each location.

Bye for now,

Mary & Jesus
