         [Missouri] On 
          August 3 and 4, 2002, the Missouri Center, with great support from the 
          Oklahoma and Kentucky Centers, participated in the 11th Holistic Living 
          and Art Expo in St. Louis. Truth seekers from around the area created 
          a warm and friendly atmosphere at the event, despite their different 
          spiritual backgrounds. 
        On August 4th, fellow practitioners held a video seminar 
          at the Center’s booth, which was adorned with colorful displays. 
          After the seminar, about half of the attendees stayed behind to learn 
          the Convenient Method. Many fellow practitioners perceived that the 
          power of Master’s love was permeating the area all during the Expo 
          and seminar.

        A reporter from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a local 
          newspaper, came to our booth on the first day of the Expo, and was overwhelmed 
          by the information package we made available to him. The next day, one 
          of his colleagues visited us toward the end of the Expo. After asking 
          several questions, he was anxious to take a picture of the initiates, 
          and was very pleased to also take a photograph of Master’s picture.
