Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings from Korea. We are now preparing for our True Father's Seonghwa, under the personal direction of our True Mother in order to honor our True Father on the world stage. In all of history, and for all time, there is no greater title than True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. This is the crowning glory of True Father's victorious life.
Many of us have followed our True Parents for years, or even decades, and are honored to attend him at the time of his ascension. It is only now that we are beginning to realize the value of his life. We want to show the world through his Universal Seonghwa Ceremony his absolute greatness, so that they too may awaken to who he is and what he has given to the world.
Our True Mother invites each and every brother or sister to please come to Korea. She wants everyone who loves our True Father to be able to offer devotion to him in person. This is an incredible blessing and priceless opportunity. Each family is asked to make a $1,200 offering to express their gratitude.
We hope that at least one person from each family can attend True Father's Universal Seonghwa Ceremony on September 15th. You may arrive between September 12th to 14th to pray and offer devotion. We ask that all brothers and sisters stay for our True Mother's historic address to our worldwide membership on September 17th. It's crucial that we come together at this time and express our unity and commitment centering on True Mother's leadership, representing True Parents.
We are responsible for our own airfare. National Headquarters is currently researching flight options to facilitate such a large pilgrimage. Accommodations will be provided for all participants.
Let us join together in supporting our eternal True Parents. As In Jin Nim reminded us in her speech to the Chicago congregation, "None of us would be here without True Parents. We would not have our spouse or our eternal and unique, precious children." Let's show our love and gratitude to True Parents.
Sincerely,
Rev. Joshua Cotter
