(These notes are taken from a simultaneous translation. Simultaneous translation is done in summary form and depends greatly on the translator's ability to communicate the essence of the message. These cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication on Rev. Moon's words. However they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message.)
Mrs. Won Ju McDevitt read detailed testimonies from the spiritual world about the life of Abraham, Moses, Mohammed, Noah and other key figures.
Father:
You must teach your children the messages of the spirit world.
All businesses must be developed, especially the ocean business. Many others should also be developed. While I'm here, all of this foundation must be laid. The movement in Japan and America must be involved.
So far we have over 50,000 Ambassadors for Peace from all faiths. We have people who can work on different fields. This can develop depending on their expertise.
Wherever we go, we must be able to generate income. The wife should be able to support the family. Those working in the business area should also be able to witness to people. In terms of fish business, no one can ignore ability of our people who have started businesses. Business people who are part of our movement should manufacture products at the lowest possible cost. Fish powder can be preserved for many years. In the beginning it should develop it gradually. They can establish that kind of business in many nations of the world. There are many different kinds of trout, striped bass and salmon. All of these should be raised in fish farms.
Many of you are satisfied with a small number of members at the church. You have to grow the membership and develop supporting business at the same time.
The problem with many of our people in related businesses is not a matter of ability, it is a matter of faith. When they go to the spirit world, they will realize how serious the problem is. Already, I supported America and meanwhile I was persecuted. I established an incredible foundation on earth and in the spirit world. Because of this foundation, it is inevitable that we will become the center.
I invested for 34 years in America. Dr. Yang, you should not expect me to support you. Now you are in charge of America. Now you have learned a lot. In the future you should establish a Trade Center. It must be prosperous. There should be a systematic development in business. I made preparation for the hotel business for 22 years.
We should also utilize the video centers. Through these, we can witness and also generate income. In the future, we can produce films with minimal staff, using special software to come up with many kinds of productions. We can create all kinds of films, and important issues can be tackled. We have an excellent worldwide foundation.
During the next one or two years, America must become self-sufficient. The American church must become totally independent and financially self-sufficient. I don't want to leave you alone; however you must guide America, I want to hear all the reports.
Americans are very good at managing things. Mass media area and schools are very important. Through mass media, there should be a lot of promotion. We must guide banks and finance to move in the direction of God's will. If we do so, we can move a nation.
Americans have a tendency to sell things, rather than fix the business. We must become true owners. In America, Japan, and Korea we don't have True Owners. In Yeosu we are developing an incredible foundation. As we develop that foundation we can reach out to the business people also.
We have a media foundation. You must go fishing even when I don't go. You must go and catch striped bass and other kinds of fish. We must be able to catch fish well. We should get that kind of training.
Kook Jin Nim is very good at business. I want to train people who can be good at business. We can make a great business from Kona coffee. There are so many people who are good in business.
