[Houston] Through Master's love and guidance, on Sunday, June 19, 2005, Houston initiates held a luncheon featuring delicious vegetarian food at the Love and Fisher Shelter.

Close to 300 people attended the feast and enjoyed an especially spiritual day. Side by side, the sisters and brothers worked to help serve everyone as a feeling of compassion filled the air. While eating the food blessed by Master, the guests viewed the video-lecture Face Life with Courage, and thus gained a few hours of wisdom in their challenging lives. After the event the homeless rushed to express their gratitude, thanking the practitioners for their love and kindness, with many saying, "We've never been treated with such respect and love." The initiates' collective reply was "Don't thank us. Thank God."

Then on the following Sunday, June 26, the initiates conducted a seminar at the Barbara Bush Public Library, showing our beloved Master's DVD-lecture The Hotel Called Life on a giant screen for the guests. Everyone focused deeply on Master's Heavenly words, and later through Her blessing enjoyed wonderful vegetarian delights. Afterwards, some registered to learn the Convenient Method of meditation, and in that moment the initiates felt profoundly blessed as if Master were with them.

After participating in the luncheon and video seminar, the Houston initiates wish to express their gratitude to Master as follows: "We deeply appreciate Your continuous love and guidance. Without You we would never have been able to have such a positive impact on so many people. We will continue to spread Your message of love and enlightenment. Thank You, Master."
