The camp location was originally a part of North Korea, but this was taken back by South Korea with the help of the UN. True Parents bought this land to be the training ground for our second generation. True Parents spoke in front of the 7,000 students and staff who participated in the Jamboree camp -- at World Jamboree.

At the time of the Israelites, who were wild shoots of the false olive tree, they were waiting ardently to achieve their dream to become a true olive tree. The Israelites weren't aware how to accomplish this ultimate desire despite of their meeting with the True Olive Tree (the Messiah). They failed to engraft themselves to the True Olive Tree.

HakJaHan-130804-3.jpg

In this era of our True Parents who are the fulfillment of this True Olive Tree, the Sunghwa students and the people attending our True Parents are now the fruits of this engrafting and are now playing the role of True Olive Trees.

HakJaHan-130804-4.jpg

They are the substantialization of this process of being engrafted to the True Olive Trees (True Parents). How are the True Olive Trees going to fulfill their mission? It is through becoming the best in their schools and wherever they are, and whatever they do.

HakJaHan-130804-5.jpg

We need to realize God and True Parents' Will here on earth by guiding all the 70 billion people on earth to achieve the dream of becoming True Olive Trees.

In this way God will see us as the victorious people in this era.

All of you here today are students, right? What do you think the duty of a student is? You should study hard. Don't you want to be on the top if possible? I am very proud of you. We are now opening a new era within the providential history of our Heavenly Parent. In that you are standing at its center, all of you are among those best positioned.

Are you thankful for that? What, then, should you do? You should become more diligent. Isn't that correct? What should you do about the numerous other students in the world who are like you? You must witness to them. That is why I emphasize the creation of the environment within the same realm of happiness.

You must take ownership in creating the environment starting from your own school, your base for learning. Do you understand? I feel proud of you. Please study hard. 

Our dream must be the same as that of Heavenly Parent and True Parents

Note: These notes are the translation from the report posted on FFWPU web site. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Parent's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. Rev. Katsumi Kambashi

At a banquet with the Japanese leaders who are working with North and South Korean in Japan for the sake of the unification of Korea

"I understand you have worked so hard during this period. Now we don't have much time with us. Our dream must be the same as that of Heavenly Parent and True Parents. I as an individual, my family, my neighbors, tribe, race, and nation must become the ones that make the dream come true. We feel the urgency but there are still many environments that we need to establish. The dream that True Parents want to realize is very big. That is the ideal nation and the world which Heavenly Parent and we humankind as a family need to accomplish with true love.

True Father, in order to realize that dream, had cultivated the front line of the providence day and night for 60 years. God's providence and history have been more than 6,000 years. Due to the failure of Adam and Eve, God's providential history took more than 6,000 years. The regretful, lonely and sad situation of Heavenly Parent could create the environment for the Messiah of the Second Coming after 6,000 years, which is the consolation to Heavenly Parent.

When I think of the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War, I feel Heaven's anxiety which has been earnestly waiting for this time without wasting even a second. Heavenly Parent and True Parents, who have been worried in case any responsible person gives up, have been through the pain and suffering that is beyond the imagination.

You, who are sitting here during your earthly life as the Blessed families, have been with the church for more than 20, 30 and even 40 years. But before the love and blessing you have received from Heaven and True Parents, we have been so insignificant and lacking. Do you agree? What did you feel when seeing two video clips?

Can you do your best as a peace army and peace police with your 100%, 120%, 200% effort, loyalty and love in making this nation Korea as God's fatherland, standing out proudly in front of the world, which is the hope of God and all humankind by 2020? Can you promise to do it? I trust you.

Wishing that you participate in the proud march file, create a better foundation, and make Korea as the nation where all humankind attends Heavenly Parent and True Parents in glory, I ask you to do your very best."

The seventh anniversary of the True Parents' Entrance into Cheon Jeong Gung and the Coronation of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind

HakJaHan-130720-1.jpg

Our future is bright. The video you have just watched was specially made in commemoration of the seventh anniversary of the Entrance into Cheon Jeong Gung and the coronation. I am overwhelmed by the memories. Only seven years have passed since then; however, it feels as if it were seventy years. Living in the Cheon II Guk era, we have concluded a historical providential period and have made new starts. Yet, can you confidently say that you are adequately determined or resolved to repay Heaven?

Neither time nor the entire providence wait for us, and we cannot retreat. Advancing is all we can do. Everything now depends on how greatly we expand the environment from the position we now are in. You must bear in mind that the opportunity for this nation to stand as God's homeland and the central country in the world does not always come.

Accomplishing Vision 2020 is our first step. I understand that all of you that have come here are doing your best on the front line. I want to believe you. Can I do that?

It is true that my heart becomes increasingly serious with each passing day as we still have many responsibilities to achieve. Please think about it. You are now living on earth. However, can you guarantee that you will remain in good health for over a hundred years? Your lives at this very moment are poised to become the life nutrients and the treasure of the spiritual world, the eternal future, and to establish special qualifications and authority in front of heaven and earth for having lived in the same age as True Parents. You are in a position where each one of you can become beautiful gems.

Just as head teacher Seong Tae Cho said, I hope that the education of third-generation members will foster those in future generations to become devoted children, patriots and individuals that take the primary lead in opening a new age. However, being a central figure may be easier said than done. Let us say you are in charge of a small church or a regional church headquarters. Could you swerve from your responsibilities? We cannot avoid doing our best if we think of True Parents and of God's will for a minute or even a second.

You must lead a life in which putting maximum effort with a live-or-die firmness of purpose is your reality every single day. Do you promise to make Korea into God's homeland, which stands firm in the world centered on True Parents by 2020? Are you determined? Thank you.

In order to intensively spur the youth or collegiate movement in the United States, I appointed new youth leaders while in Hawaii. Las Vegas alone has around forty thousand university students. The United States, in particular, attracts top students from around the world. Some pursue an undergraduate four-year course while others might he studying for a doctorate. However, we must first consider that these foreign students might return to their countries once they complete their studies. From a providential perspective, this is actually an amazing blessing from heaven. Yet, if we do not succeed on university campuses, how would we be able to restore the United States and the world within seven years? If a student is witnessed to in the United States, that student would automatically go out into the world. Internally, I am trying to bring blessed children from around the world to Korea. For us to aim at the future in this manner brings great excitement indeed.

I am determined to expand greatly our environment centered on second- and third-generation members. Next year, I am planning to show the world to exemplary middle school and high school students from around the globe that want to become leaders.

Taking into consideration that Korean summer vacations are usually short, workshops for those in our second and third generations cannot he longer than two weeks. Through this roughly two-week scheduled workshop, I would like to show the world to the children and to help them learn about Korea and its importance. I would like to help young Korean members realize how grateful they should be to Heaven for being born as a Korean second- or third-generation member and that they should dedicate their lives to Heaven in return. Would you all support this endeavor? Only one hope remains as the clays pass, as time passes by.

Hawaii is a beautiful kingdom of heaven on earth, untainted in any way and with no air pollution. Even though it is still a bit dark at 5 AM, I take a walk then. The birds sing and flowers are in full bloom. I see trees loaded with mangoes as you saw a moment ago. I would have never imagined a mango tree to be that big. I used to think it was as big as a papaya tree, but it is even bigger than a Korean chestnut tree.

In Kona, there are avocados, a prized fruit that we eat. I saw avocados hanging from a big tree for the first time. Upon hearing that avocados grow well in Kona, I planted an avocado tree at Queen Garden.

Another interesting point is that Father loved bananas when we were in Korea. In the early days, it was difficult to find even one banana. I used to think that bananas bunches were shaped like a fan. However, I had the chance to see an actual banana tree this time and noticed that multiple bunches grow off a single branch. They form concentric layers. Investigating, I counted 140 bananas. The banana bud was so big; tiers formed and that would each be one round. Seven rounds produced 140 bananas. It was remarkable.

After it was somewhat ripe, I asked that the tree he plucked. The banana cluster was hung. After it became completely ripe and yellow, I peeled one and tried it. The bananas I had had in Korea cannot compare in taste. It was delicious. The peel was also thinner and the flesh chewy; you cannot imagine how sweet it was. You need to open your mouth wide or cut it into small pieces to eat the fruit. It is just too big for small mouths. That is how interesting the natural environment in Hawaii is. I want to show this environment to our second- and third- generation children.

I want to teach them. What do you think? You all have children, right? Do you have children to dedicate to the world and to heaven and earth? Our future is bright because of that. I will end here. Let us all stand and sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

True Mother's 30-Day Grandchildren's Workshop

Seong Tae Cho
July 13, 2013

HakJaHan-130713a-1.jpg

In December last year, True Mother assigned Mr. Cho as the principal of the Universal Seonghwa Sunday School, which she wishes to make a model organization in educating the True Grandchildren and members of our second generation. In this capacity, he led the workshop in Hawaii.

As True Mother had instructed, a thirty-day workshop for the third-generation of the True Family, True Parents' grandchildren, was conducted at Hawaii King Garden from 5.6 to 6.6 by the heavenly calendar (June 14 -- July 13).

The December 7, 1941 air raid on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, automatically provoked the United States to enter World War II. From this standpoint, the liberation of Korea, God's homeland, can be said to have its roots in Hawaii. Hawaii is also the historic place where Father offered conditions to embrace Kim II-sung, which he did on December 6, 1991 with true love transcending even life. Hawaii is a place where the great spirit of true love is alive. Recalling this, we recognized True Parents' deep motivation for choosing Hawaii as the workshop venue. We conducted the workshop under the title, 2013 True Parents Aloha' Reunion. The workshop theme was Let us plant the seeds of gratitude and love.

HakJaHan-130713a-2.jpg

The grandchildren that participated and completed the special workshop in Hawaii were Hyung Jin Nim and Yeon Ah Lee Nim's son Shin Joon Nim, who is presently staying at Cheon Jeong Gung, and their son Shin Deuk Nim and daughter Shin Goong Nim, who live in the United States and joined the workshop as it entered its final stage; Hyo Jin Nim and Yeon Ah Choi Nim's sons Shin Chul Nim, Shin Heung Nim and Shin Jin Nim and their daughter Shin Yuh Nim, who are presently staying at the Hannam-dong residence; and Heung Jin Nim and Hoon Sook Nim's daughter Shin Whul Nim. True Mother hoped that her grandchildren, who had started their school vacations, would inherit True Parents' heart through the lectures on Divine Principle and True Parents' life courses and naturally come to feel the heart of our Heavenly Parent at the time of the Creation when they interacted with nature in Hawaii. She also hoped that her grandchildren would be able to have great memories of being together through special activities.

The workshop was prepared with heart-moving and interesting material in accordance with True Mother's instructions. The main programs included Hoon Dok Hae, the lectures on Divine Principle and True Parents' life courses, yoga, singing True Parents' favorite songs, doing their personal schoolwork, experiencing Hawaii and other activities.

Workshop staff members came from the three major providential countries, Korea, Japan and the United States. Our working together held special significance.

HakJaHan-130713a-3.jpg

The day's schedule began at 6:30 AM. Mornings began with the grandchildren taking turns reading As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen for Hoon Dok Hae and then greeting True Mother. Mornings also included Divine Principle lectures, lectures on True Parents' life courses, yoga practice led by Sun Jin Nim, learning True Parents' favorite songs in order to help the grandchildren experience Korean sentiments, and then individual time to do some of their schoolwork.

Afternoons included experiencing Hawaii and special activities. True Mother usually accompanied the grandchildren herself in true love when experiencing many beautiful places in Hawaii. Hawaii's marvelous natural environment moved the hearts of participants and staff members all throughout the workshop.

Special activities usually included art activities, such as drawing, taking photographs, ukulele lessons; sports and hobby activities, such as yoga, table tennis, swimming, fishing and snorkeling; agricultural activities such as harvesting coffee beans, planting plants tours and fun activities, such as swimming at the beach, touring a sea horse farm, horseback riding, seeing a movie, traveling around Hawaii, etc. In the evenings, the grandchildren say good night to True Mother, write a diary entry, read it in front of the other children and conclude their day.

HakJaHan-130713a-4.jpg

Midway through the workshop, the grandchildren presented the songs they had learned in Hawaii. These moved everyone including True Mother.

Taking into consideration various flight itineraries, the completion ceremony was conducted on 6.5 by the heavenly calendar at 5 p.m. True Mother asked the grandchildren that they become proud grandchildren who resemble True Parents. All the grandchildren without exception testified that they learned and realized how difficult a course True Parents had to follow. They are determined to become devoted grandchildren resembling True Parents and they expressed their gratitude to True Mother for hosting this workshop. Shin Chul Moon Nim led everyone in three cheers of eok-mansei to conclude the completion ceremony.

True Mother has instructed that we hold a similar workshop next summer in Hawaii that will include her grandchildren and students ranging from their third year of middle school to those in their first year of high school. True Mother said that ten students each be selected from Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States. These forty students are to participate in the scheduled fourteen-day workshop.

True Mother, in the capacity of our True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, who have reached complete unity with our Heavenly Parent, directly addressed, educated and nurtured her grandchildren, the True Family's third generation with true love on the beautiful island of Hawaii, a place that felt like the Garden of Eden, with no relationship whatsoever to the Fall. The workshop felt as though it took place in the original Garden of Eden.

True Grandchildren's Reflections

1. I learned the arduous suffering the Messiah and central figures had to undergo. I liked sports the best from the special programs. I will become a better nicer child in the future.

2. I could understand the difficult course grandpa and grandma went through and how much they suffered in their efforts to achieve world peace. I came to understand how to gain peace through the yoga classes. I will become a person who helps others in the future.

3. I learned how king father and king mother conveyed their teachings and the Divine Principle, and how they had to greatly sacrifice. I liked and enjoyed the special experiential programs in Hawaii. I was deeply grateful and sorry to all those on the staff who worked hard in the workshop in the background. I wanted to apologize to them because I felt it was something we ourselves had to do. I made the determination to resemble king father and king mother even more and treat those near me with a heart of gratitude

HakJaHan-130713a-6.jpg

4. I was moved but also saddened while I listened to the lectures. I learned that I should live for the sake of others, and never give up until the end when I challenge myself to something no matter what kind of difficulties I may face in the middle. It was great spending time with my cousins in Hawaii. I loved harvesting the coffee beans and learning True Parents' favorite songs. I am determined to become a good person and be generous to others as a result of this workshop.

5. I was moved the most when I learned how king father and king mother established the church despite all the pain they received. The special experiential activities in Hawaii were interesting. I will become a good child in the future.

You must consider yourselves fortunate grandchildren today because you have met True Parents, whom Heaven and humanity have waited for. How should you introduce True Parents from now on whenever you meet people in different places? Our Heavenly Parent's wish after the Creation was to become a parent. The Fall, however, caused God to become a sorrowful Heavenly Parent. Yet, Heaven continued to conduct the providence of salvation and found and anointed central figures whenever necessary.

HakJaHan-130712-3.jpg

Heaven raised the Israelites based on the ideology of the chosen people. The Messiah, however, could not find a nation because of human disbelief. Heaven kept its promise, while humanity did not. As a result, Heaven has had to carry out a difficult providential history through Christianity for the past two thousand years. The preparation process for the Messiah was extremely difficult.

HakJaHan-130712-4.jpg
Whenever a central figure failed to fulfill his or her responsibility, Heaven did not work through that central figure any more. A providential indemnity course is not at all easy. Christianity was supposed to fulfill its responsibility and welcome the returning Lord. Yet, Christianity failed to do so. Before your grandparents are your True Parents, they are humanity's True Parents as you have understood through this thirty-day workshop on the Divine Principle and True Parents' life courses. True Parents' courses were difficult indemnity courses. The country where True Parents were born must become our Heavenly Parent's homeland.
HakJaHan-130712-5.jpg

You are historic figures because you can attend True Parents. You are in a position that everyone will envy. You have understood and testified about how precious your grandparents are. Therefore, you must always live with grateful hearts, prepare for every single day in excitement and conduct your lives in that manner. You must learn much more in the future. Until now, leaders have emphasized the creation of the environment to members. We must create an environment with our Heavenly Parent at the center. You must partake in its creation. In order to demonstrate to you the creation of an environment,

HakJaHan-130712-6.jpg

I brought you here to participate in the thirty-day workshop. You must attend True Parents as your absolute center and aim high for the future. Next year, many Seonghwa Students will join you in a two-week educational workshop for the creation of the environment in order to spread this environment. I would like to applaud your efforts throughout the workshop once again.

Meeting True Parents is the purpose of our lives

At the Cheon Jeong Gung

Three second-generation members of the True Family, Yeon Ah Nim, Sun Jin Nim and In Sup Nim participated

Meeting True Parents is the purpose of our lives and the ideal of the blessing. When I invited peace ambassadors and leaders of WFWP to Cheon Jeong Gung recently, I told them that life was valueless and without hope if they do not know True Parents. Those who came for the first time were particularly moved when I explained that God was a lonely and piteous being. Even the Divine Principle mentions meeting True Parents, the Messiah, as our hope. We have also followed this path of faith. Have those in the first and second generations led a life of gratitude toward True Parents? There must be no complaints or grumbling on our path. The reality of both the second generation and the first generation deeply concerns me as I see a lack of the most basic element of faith -- a heart of gratitude toward everything.

Just as is mentioned in the Bible and the Divine Principle, being grateful to Heaven first is the standard a common person of faith holds. However, we have unconsciously strayed into a self-centered life of faith. Heaven had to undergo so many trials for four thousand years in order to educate the Israelites, establish the foundation needed in forming a nation where God could dwell and send the Messiah in their midst; yet, when the Israelites came to meet the Messiah in reality, they could not fulfill their responsibility. Indemnity is fearful and painful. We must ensure that our descendants do not undergo any indemnity by fulfilling our missions. We must be able to feel the sorrowful history that our Heavenly Parent had to undergo. Many saints have come and gone; yet, only True Parents revealed Heaven's sorrowful heart. We also understand the term "liberation of our Heavenly Parent" because we are aware of this providential history.

Foundation Day is the start of Cheon Il Guk. Since Korea is our Heavenly Parent's homeland, all nations and peoples must come to Korea and enthusiastically cooperate in order to make Korea into God's homeland substantially.

What is the present stance of the United States? Is it in a position where it helps others or in a position where it receives help? What can we do to bring about victory in the providence? What is the stance of second-generation members?

HakJaHan-130705-2.jpg

True Father should not be seen as only the Messiah but in the context of the victorious True Parents. All people and organizations must testify about True Parents. This is a precious blessing and a shortcut in accomplishing the ideal of a true family. You must testify about True Parents while you are still alive.

I have begun a new page in history through Cheon Seong Gyeong, Pyeonghwa Gyeong and Champumo Gyeong. The rule of the thumb method no longer works today. You must not think of our church as an umbrella organization. You must clearly testify about True Parents. Though you have attended True Parents, you have not truly known them and this has caused serious problems. The biggest cause of the difference of heart between first- and second-generation members lies in the parents not being able to create the right environment for them. Though the True Children and you are still imperfect, I will work at setting matters right. Heaven has conducted the providence where the Cain world must be loved before Abel; as a result, True Parents had to leave the True Children in the care of our elder families and take the lead in advancing the heavenly providence. From such a standpoint, we can say that the True Children grew up in more pitiful circumstances than you did. Second-generation members grew up with their parents, while the True Children were always neglected. An environment could not be created. Blessed families should have protected and educated the True Children. True Parents could not love the True Children in the same way they loved Cain.

I will work toward firmly establishing Heaven's and True Parents' tradition in accordance with the Principle. In following that tradition I will love the second-generation members more than I love the True Children. I will erect the Cain children who will then educate the Abel children.

HakJaHan-130705-3.jpg

Though we say we understand the Principle, we have lived until now, ironically, without properly understanding the Principle. How do we understand the providential history of restoration through indemnity? Heaven's providential history of restoration established the Israelites as the first Israel and Christianity as the second Israel. Please deeply consider what kind of foundation would have been formed if they had met the Returning Lord, handed over all these foundations to him and attended him.

Heaven had prepared for Foundation Day for a long time. As we know, God did not work again through central figures that did not fulfill their responsibilities. We must help second-generation members and ensure that we are all victorious. We must cooperate through all possible means.

The first Israel and second Israel must cooperate with Korea, the third Israel and ensure that it is restored at all costs. Vision 2020 is our goal to find and establish True Parents' royal authority in Korea. Providential first- and second-generation members must march together to find our Heavenly Parent's homeland. The three providential nations, Korea, the United States and Japan, must change by investing their maximum effort and by living up to their faith at the risk of their lives at this point. Substantial changes must be visible to a certain extent within three years. Only by achieving this, can hope exist.

HakJaHan-130705-4.jpg

Kwon Jin was assigned as the person in charge of education in Las Vegas and has been conducting activities in my place, trying to yield results in the last place that Father laid a foundation. I am trying to help him stand as a son of True Parents by making him start from the very bottom and witness through the Principle and Father's teachings. Since True Parents cannot visit all 190 nations, we considered Las Vegas, where people from around the globe come, to be the best place to serve as the center for education.

At this point, you must advance with big responsibilities. Do not worry about the gap between first- and second-generation members. If the leaders that have been set up create the right environment, all of our concerns will disappear. When we look at Moses' and Abraham's courses, we understand how central figures create the right environment. We are the problem. Those in charge are the problem. The United States is like a desert. Leaders must carry out the mission of finding and feeding on grasshoppers and wild honey. In the early days of the providence in the United States, True Parents actively conducted a university-based movement. We must revive this movement.

We must save the seven billion people; however, since we cannot do it through our own efforts alone, we must look for talented people who can join us through a movement based on university campuses. Don't talented people around the world come to study in universities in the United States? Why aren't you making use of that environment? Bringing about a revival of activities on university campuses is an important mission for us. Therefore, we must push it forward. Second-generation leaders must find all second-generation members and families that are resting and educate and love them so that they fulfill their responsibilities centered on True Parents. We must all go together. Please guide them in true love. When we go to the spiritual world, we must be able to all breathe under the same heaven.

HakJaHan-130705-5.jpg

Only when we attend True Parents on earth, can humanity become one big family. Our lineage does not refer to the seeds in the fields, but refers to the precious children of a providence that is based on true love. Our mission is to gather everyone and move forward together. Let us all set up indemnity conditions through donations and voluntary activities in churches and go forward together. As people born through the blessing by True Parents, let us not fall but advance together. Education based on true love is important.

From now on, high school students, middle school students and elementary school students who desire to become future church leaders will receive education yearly with the True Children and True Grandchildren here in Kona, Hawaii, a good geographical location and the center of the Pacific Rim providence. Ten students each from Korea, Japan, and the United States and ten students from another continent will be selected to join this yearly two- or three-week workshop with the True Children and True Grandchildren.

Let us all become proud people of Cheon Il Guk. We must treat members with the heart of a parent and the heart of living for the sake of others. May the United States, which was at the center of True Parents' providential history for forty years, carry on the providence by becoming its center.

Celebration of the ninth anniversary of the founding of the Federation for Peace and Unity

The stage on the day on the first Anniversary of the Universal Seonghwa of Sun Myung Moon, the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind

The Federation for Peace and Unity is our church-affiliated organization in Japan that aids cooperation between two non-church organizations of Koreans in Japan, Mindan the (pro-South Korean) Korean Residents' Union and Jochongryeon the (pro-North Korea) General Association of Residents

I know you have been working hard until now; however, we do not have much time allotted to us. Our dreams must become the dream of our Heavenly Parent and True Parents.

I must become an individual, family, neighbor, tribe, people and country that can accomplish this dream. Though our hearts are serious, we need to do too many things. The task ahead is too broad, too big.

True Father spent sixty years of his life on the front line of the providence, working day and night in order to realize this dream, the ideal country and world we envision, in which our Heavenly Parent and humanity live together as one family centered on true love.

The history of God's providence is over six thousand years old. This providence took over six thousand years because of a single mistake committed by Adam and Eve.

Our Heavenly Parent's providential history is a sad, lonesome, bleak story because for six thousand years he had to create the environment needed to receive the returning Lord. It is true that our Heavenly Parent has been comforted. However, thinking of the sixty years after the Korean War, we can understand how much Heaven had anxiously waited for this one moment, not resting at all for a minute or even a second in case the central figure gave up. We cannot imagine the indescribable pain and agonizing times our Heavenly Parent and True Parents had to go through.

All of you here today are members of blessed families that have lived for twenty to forty years in the same era as True Parents. Considering this, we were small and inadequate in front of the love and blessings we received from Heaven and True Parents. Do you agree?

What did you feel while you watched the two videos today? It is my hope that all of you, members of Mindan and Jochongryeon, can invest too percent, 120 percent even 200 percent of your sincerity, loyalty and love on the front line as members of the Peace Kingdom Corps and the Peace Kingdom Police in firmly setting up God's homeland as a unified homeland. Will you do your best to realize the hope of our Heavenly Parent and humanity in making this country remain firm in front of the world as God's homeland? Do you promise? I believe you.

I hope that you all do your best to join these proud ranks, create an even bigger environment and enable Korea to become the homeland where humanity can gloriously attend our Heavenly Parent and True Parents.
