The Foundation

Here is a summary of what the Foundation for True Life in God is all about, the reason for its creation, the mission it has been entrusted with and formalities of importance:

Vassula says: “I have created the Foundation for True Life in God, based in Geneva, Switzerland, in order that care be taken and help provided for the diffusion of the True Life in God messages I have received since 1986. The Foundation will outlive my person and is, therefore, bound by my written instructions. The Foundation, through its authority and statutory institutions is to observe and act accordingly, taking in particular to heart our Lord’s instructions: ‘remember My Holy Presence; be My vessels of Light carrying My Word and diffuse My Messages’ (April 10, 1990)”.

A Swiss based foundation is a legal entity, closely supervised by the federal authorities who have a legal duty to ensure that all activities rigorously comply with the statutes of the Foundation. An annual report must be submitted to this effect. This stands as a guarantee that the Foundation for True Life in God will work as intended by its founder. Any changes to the now adopted statutes need the federal authorities’ approval. The Foundation’s official birthday is March 10, 2008.

The Foundation is run by the Foundation Council of up to 12 members. Vassula has nominated the initial 9 members of the council. Henceforth the council will renew itself by majority vote, strictly following guidelines for future new members.

The Council Members are drawn from many walks of life and countries. The initial council includes members from Switzerland, UK, Singapore, Philippines, USA, Ireland and Spain.

As you know, Vassula does not receive any remuneration for her TLIG activities. This same principle applies to all members of the Foundation Council and associated TLIG executives. Only professional outsourced help such as an accountant, an auditor etc. are paid from foundation funds. The legal capital, necessary for the creation of a foundation in Switzerland, has been provided by donations.

The Foundation’s Mission

The Foundation has been established by Vassula:

(a) to promote knowledge and understanding of the works entitled ”True Life in God”. The Foundation has the responsibility of ensuring the timelessness of these writings, their universal distribution in any form the Foundation may decide to employ, as well as the physical preservation of the originals.

(b) to promote unity among the Christian Churches as contemplated by the True Life in God messages, always seeking the glory of God, and the furtherance of His Kingdom for the spiritual benefit of all peoples without exception.

(c) to promote the charitable work of the Beth Myriams, as well as providing financial support, where necessary, for that work, in accordance with Vassula’s charter on Beth Myriams.

d) to ensure that Beth Myriams are run in accordance with the spirit of the True Life in God messages and adopted policies.

(e) to promote the work of, and – where necessary – provide financial support to other appropriate charitable activities that are influenced by the message of True Life in God.

(f) to ensure the long-term continuation of the work of True Life in God and evangelisation in the spirit of the True Life in God messages.

g) to defend the reputation of the True Life in God messages and of Vassula herself.

(h) to work in close contact with national True Life in God associations, whom it will serve in their evangelisation efforts and support in adversity.

(i) to ensure the publication of the messages world wide and in all feasible languages.

(j) to take care of supranational projects, of Vassula’s copyrights over the messages and to ensure respect for the following protected trade marks:

TLIG
True Life in God
La Vraie Vie en Dieu
Wahres Leben in Gott
La Verdadera Vida en Dios
&
Vassula

(k) to raise funds:
– to enable the Foundation to achieve its objectives,
– to ensure that the separate Beth Myriam Fund has the means to provide the requested support to individual Beth Myriams.

As our Founder, Vassula will always be closely involved with her Foundation’s activities.

Foundation Donations

Dear TLIG Readers and Friends,

TLIG asks for your help. Let us explain:

The messages of TLIG have reached the 4 corners of the planet. As Christ said, “My Word will spread from a rivulet it will become a river and from a river an ocean”. While it was still a rivulet, Vassula managed everything almost on her own. Air tickets, answering mail, photocopying the messages, going to mission, receiving messages, writing the report after the mission etc., and of course household work! So now, after 25 years, it is a very large river, and so the people God sent Vassula (and this includes you too, of course) were called to live the messages and spread them. Administration started to crush Vassula, as more and more travelling was required from our Lord. For this, our Lord has brought Vassula to create the Foundation for True Life in God. This project has taken some time to become established; however, with God’s help, the Foundation is now active.

Vassula defines the main task of the Foundation in her Deed of Instructions as follows: I have created the Foundation, based in Geneva, Switzerland, in order that care be taken and help provided to the diffusion of the True Life in God messages.

Some people might ask: is a Foundation necessary? Vassula answers: the Foundation relieves me of all administrative tasks so as to concentrate fully on my mission. Vassula has put the Foundation in charge of managing her copyrights, ensuring publishing and, in some cases, the printing of the Messages. It is called to run organisational and legal matters related to TLIG, assist in worldwide evangelisation efforts in different ways, for example financing Vassula’s air tickets and hotels in countries like Asia and Africa which cannot afford to pay, yet ask for her to visit, ensuring Message books are available on site; also to finance a new book on Vassula and her mission to lead people to read the Messages etc. The Foundation assists National Associations in their mission and oversees all Beth Myriams, including the central Beth Miriam Fund, called to work according to Vassula’s Beth Myriam Charter.
The Foundation will always publish a yearly report of its activities on the website for all to see.
The other question some people might ask is: will the Foundation take major decisions and conclusions without Vassula knowing? Vassula answers: not at all. To be brief and straightforward: Vassula is consulted and will always have the ‘last word’.

The Foundation itself now needs funding to run its task which includes all that is said above. For this to succeed, we appeal to all of you, helpers on all fronts for True Life in God all over the world and members of TLIG prayer groups, to support the Foundation as best as you can, now and in the future. Donations are the Foundations only income.

Thank you so much for your generous help and support.
Yours in Christ,
Foundation for True Life in God.
