Interest is building for the first Living in Grace at Asilomar<\/a> in a few years.\u00a0\u00a0 A reminder — the early bird tuition price is good through September 5.\u00a0\u00a0 We encourage you to sign up<\/a> and take advantage of the lower price.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meanwhile, the PTS Traveler Tour 2023<\/a> to Israel is filling up and \u2013 good news! — we plan to announce a raffle for a tour participant space very soon.<\/p>\n

In July we announced live streaming on the MSIA app has begun, starting with Blessings This Day which shows up as a banner link at the top of the app home page whenever it is broadcast.\u00a0 \u00a0The August Global Los Angeles ministers meeting marked a milestone as it was live streamed on the MSIA app for the first time.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Android and iPhone MSIA app users now have another way to view the ministers meetings.\u00a0\u00a0 Simply go the MSIA App on your smartphone and make sure you are logged in. A Livestream banner will appear on the home page about 15 minutes before the start of the Ministers Meeting. Simply click on the banner to access the Ministers Meeting stream. The banner will only appear in the App if you are logged in and your Ministerial credentials are active.<\/p>\n

The mission of MSIA is to make the teachings available to those who are looking for them.\u00a0 This focus drove us to create our first website back in the early days of the internet in 1995 and start the Loving Each Day inspirational emails.\u00a0 Today, we are on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr, and TikTok.<\/p>\n

At the footer of every MSIA.org website page you will see the icons for the various platforms that MSIA is on.\u00a0\u00a0 Please check them out.\u00a0 You can also find J-R seminars on Spotify, Google Play, Pandora, and other streaming audio platforms.<\/p>\n

It helps give MSIA a bigger public profile when you start following us on the various platforms. For example, becoming a subscriber to MSIA\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>, as well as \u201cliking\u201d our content on all the platforms.\u00a0\u00a0 It shows the world there is engagement with our offerings.\u00a0\u00a0 We plan to share more about MSIA social media in the future.<\/p>\n

Our staff member, Gabe Doynel, recently started posting John-Roger videos on TikTok<\/a> to be part of the surprisingly vast number of spiritual videos available on that platform.\u00a0\u00a0 You can go to MSIA\u2019s TikTok page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Feel free to share our posts with the #MSIA and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n

We like to periodically mention that MSIA is part of the Amazon Charity Smile program.\u00a0\u00a0 John and Leigh recently shared about it on Blessing this Day.\u00a0 If you shop on Amazon, like a lot of us, this program makes donations to your favorite charity (e.g., MSIA) at no extra cost to you.\u00a0 AmazonSmile donates 0.5% of your eligible purchases on Amazon to MSIA when you set it up in your account.\u00a0\u00a0 Shopping at smile.amazon.com<\/a> is identical to Amazon.com.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course, if you already use AmazonSmile, you know what we are talking about as you receive the quarterly email update on how much was donated in MSIA in the prior three months. Huge thanks to all of you who are doing that!<\/p>\n

The way it works is simple:<\/p>\n

You log in at Smile.Amazon.com<\/a> instead of just Amazon.com with your regular user name and password.<\/p>\n

When you go to this site for the first time it will give you an option of which charity you want to receive their donation.<\/p>\n

Select the Church of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re done — it\u2019s that easy.<\/p>\n

From that point on almost every purchase, you make on smile.amazon.com results in an automatic donation to MSIA. (As of this writing, all Amazon Smile donations to MSIA so far total over $5,500.)<\/p>\n

God Bless you and thank you for participating in MSIA and for all that you give back in so many ways. We love and appreciate you.<\/p>\n
