 I am reporting to you a conversation I had via the Chat system of OMS. It might be helpful to some.

my friend is a first gen new member in his mid thirties. Can he use this site?
Anne-Marie 10:28
How long has he be connected to us?
Visitor 10:31
not long. We are studying DP now. but he has been introduced to the Blessing and we will be going more in depth this week about the meaning centered on True Parents and God's Ideal. He is from Myanmar and has a Christian background

OK, I don't mind him registering, but please be wise. It is good to introduce the Blessing but not for him to access it next year (even people are going to push for it), my personal opinion this would be mistake, does not matter how good he might be. I don't want to send people to the blessing and have them cancelled it a year later. We have to remember that the Blessing is not just a nice way to marry someone, it is a sacrament that has tremendous consequences good and bad depending on how to access it. For him, waiting until 2016 may be a good protective indemnity period.
However, I do not know the whole situation, so I am speaking to you as a general statement. The individual situation has to be considered too.

Yes! I'm wondering how to help find suitable matching partner at this point even though they may not be ready for the Blessing in 2025

Don't look for a partner right now, let him become a candidate first by going through the process that will help him a lot.
Blessing Interview, medical tests, Level II workshop.
