In Memory of Nandi Bengu
Donation protected
Brothers & Sisters,
Our dear sister Nomnandi Bengu ascended to the Spirit World on the morning of December 18 at Bellevue Hospital after over 2 years of battling the dreadful auto immune disease, Lupus. Nandi ( short version of her full name) was born in South Africa on June 8, 1975, attended primary and secondary school where she met the Unification movement via CARP activities. In 1995 she committed herself to join after studying the Divine Principle. With enthusiasm she engaged herself in missionary activities in her hometown, Johannesburg, until 1997 when she travelled to the USA to support the American Mission, first in Washington DC. She joined the 911 Team under the leadership of Rev Levi Daugherty, doing outreach work to Christian Churches and ministries. Working with CARP she mastered the Character/Abstinence education curriculum, educating hundreds of high School students in the system. Educating youth on clear moral values and the reasons for living them was her passion.
On November 28, 1997 Nandi received the Holy Marriage Blessing with Mr. Jonte Moton at RFK stadium in Washington DC. The union produced 2 beautiful girls, Hyung ah ,14 and Haylin 11.
From 1997 to 98, Nandi’s mission was Mobile Fundraising. In short time she had the opportunity to travel far and wide across the USA learning about the American way of life. From 1998 to 99 she reengaged with CARP-USA, drawing strength of faith from the clear vertical standards espoused in their training. She also formed a number of deep bonds of friendships that lasted to this day.
In 1999 Jonte and Nandi set up home in Atlanta, Georgia where they gave birth to and raised their 2 children. She involved herself in the local activities of the Atlanta Family where she led the Choir to new heights. In 2013, Nandi and her 2 children moved to New York City, set up home with the Harlem Family Church and deeply engaged herself in local as well as providential activities. Nandi loved to sing as her offering to God and True Parents. She was a firecracker in character, fearless in her determinations to get things done, deeply devoted to True Parents, and never failed to call out sloppy standards of conduct in Principle. She leaves behind many wonderful memories of what it means to live a life of profound dedication.
