Do you all have unity between mind and body?

Hak Ja Han and Young Oon Kim, date unknown

Beloved blessed families around the world, family members, ambassadors for peace, I am praying that this day will be one filled with Heaven's grace for all of you.

Beloved members! How are your preparations for Foundation Day going? In a phrase, it is the era of the recreation of heaven and earth.

Do you all have unity between mind and body? Have you created oneness in the circumstances you are in, oneness in your family, and oneness in your society? Those who have achieved that, please raise your hands. There are presently thirty-three days remaining until Foundation Day.

Today Church President Chang-shik Yang gave a good sermon.

Beloved members, you will have been thinking about many things. To put it briefly, we are sinners in front of Heaven. In front of the grace we have received from Heaven, we have not been able to fulfill our responsibility at all. Is there anyone who can stand up and proudly say he or she has completed everything?

At this point in time, what is very clear to us is that for the first time in history we are ushering in Foundation Day, a day of blessing never before seen and which will never be seen again.

However, what is your attitude toward it at this time? Do you intend to receive it without doing anything for it? Will you receive it in the capacity of sons and daughters? Tell me.

Is there one person among you who can place a hand over your heart and listen to what your innermost conscience tells you?

Once again, we need to think about Father, who has gone before us, and repent while dressed in sackcloth. We need to be able to forgive one another. How? How?

The work for God's providence of restoration through indemnity was hard enough, but True Parents still give everything unsparingly and wish for you to become proud citizens of Cheon Il Guk. We, however, are so unworthy in front of them. We are not ready at all. What, then, should we do?

You need to place yourselves in the lowest position and receive the coming Foundation Day with a repentant heart while asking Heaven to take pity on you.

On that note, I would like to say this: Those who are involved in these unnecessary lawsuits in Korea and overseas should repent. I wish to tell them to put everything down and start afresh through Foundation Day. The blessed families in all parts of the world who are making preparations to welcome Foundation Day should observe a period of time during which they have nothing to be ashamed of in front of Heaven.

I have opened all doors through Foundation Day. I have opened the doors wide for anyone who will resolve to join the ranks of the filial, the loyal and the faithful and translate beliefs into action, practicing absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience until his or her last moment on earth, centering on True Parents.

When we make such a resolution and carry it out, we will not need to indemnify anything in the future. Do you understand? We need to prepare for the era of Cheon Il Guk, which is free from indemnity. We need to fulfill our responsibility, therefore. No one else can do it for us. It is up to us to fulfill it. That is why, as I have said, we now need to stake our lives on and devote all our energies toward doing so.

Such things will be unnecessary in an ideal world. Isn't that so? Will you do it? If you promise to do so, clap as loudly as you can, until all of heaven and earth is ringing with your applause.

Thank you. I hope and pray that your devotions will bring glory to heaven and joy to earth and that you will all become beloved and acknowledged citizens of Cheon Il Guk in the eternal era of Cheon Il Guk.

Let us once again make the resolution to do our best to accelerate our work of guiding all 7 billion people of the world to become its citizens under our Heavenly Parents. Only when you have achieved this can you be free when you pass into the next world.

We will live in a world that is free from accusation. If you fail to fulfill your responsibility on earth, accusations will follow you into the eternal world. Then, in the spirit world, where you breathe with your heart of love, you will have trouble breathing. You need to know this.

Therefore, even if you are getting older, that is fine. I ask you once again to fulfill your responsibilities while you are still on earth, so that you can freely stand in front of True Parents in the eternal world and be proud of yourselves.

With these words, I would like to conclude this assembly.

I am the kind of person that cannot sleep if something remains unsettled

WFWP New Year Celebration, Cheon Jeong Gung, HC 11.29

Come with me to the end.... Actually, since True Father's ascension I cannot fall into a deep sleep without taking something. I guess that reflects my character. I am the kind of person that cannot sleep if something remains unsettled. But after meeting you today, I realize I am not alone. I think that here are the laborers, my sisters and daughters, who will accept my will and work accordingly.

…

Let's make the coming seven years, until 2020, the best years of our lives, until the day we offer this nation to Heaven. Will you do that?

And didn't I say that after Foundation Day I am going to offer this nation to Heaven in 2020, one hundred years since True Father's birth? I sincerely ask everyone here to participate and to be woman leaders who are grounded in loyalty, devotion and virtue. There can be no king without a people. Therefore, we women must nurture, give birth to, and increase the citizens of Cheon Il Guk. It is not only for this nation. Until we give rebirth to the 7 billion people of the world, we will use the expression "devoting ourselves completely with a life or death commitment." Will you do that? So, what must we do? Invest our very lives. We have a nation that we must offer to Heaven in seven years' time. It's a small country. Thinking in terms of the world, it is small.

It should be unified, first of all. We ought to lead it in that direction. Therefore, how important the role of our women is! Think about it. Moreover, it's not now a time to do a daughter's work. Rather, it's a time in which we must take on a mother's mission. We should give birth to and raise a child.

True Father built a big house and gave it to us. We should organize and arrange it neatly and equip it well. That's our responsibility....

It has been twelve years since Father proclaimed before us at the Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God that Foundation Day, the thirteenth day of the first month, would be the most important day of all. During those years he carried out many providential tasks for the coming Foundation Day. In truth, this important day was not easily or accidentally established. Back in the days of the Old Testament, God established the concept of the chosen people for His providence of restoration and prepared the people of Israel to be His chosen people. The Israelites knew they were a special people and they waited for the coming of the Savior, believing that everything would be resolved when he came. They also believed that he would come in all splendor. It is my opinion that they did not know about indemnity. In working for the providence of restoration, you are given special responsibilities, and if you fail to fulfill them, you need to indemnify that. This is also true in the present era. When you have responsibilities, there is every chance that you may need to offer indemnity.

Every one of you here should participate and sincerely invest your whole self.

Hak Ja Han: Address God as “Heavenly Parents”

Douglas Burton and Lymha Kim
January 8, 2013

Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, also known as True Mother, has announced that the Korean Unification Church should henceforth address God as “Heavenly Parents” and that it will revert back to its previous name, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. She announced these changes, along with changes in personnel during a leaders’ conference January 7, 2012 at Gapyeong, Korea. Approximately 150 executives from 18 organizations gathered for a year-in-review meeting and a New Year congratulatory ceremony, according to the website of the Tongil industrial group.

“During the Old Testament period, we called God ‘Yahweh’ and during New Testament period we called God ‘Heavenly Father,’ but True Father completed providence history. The Foundation Day is the day that God’s dream will be accomplished,” True Mother said to 150 Korean church leaders at the conference at her residence, the Cheon Jeon Gung. She explained further that “we need to change the name of God. We shouldn’t call out to God, we should call out to Heavenly Parents.”

True Mother also announced a name change for the church. “And from now on we are not Unification Church; it’s Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. I was planning to announce this after Foundation day, but I will start it now,” True Mother said.

The Unification Church became the popular name for the Holy Spirit Association for World Christianity (HSA-UWC), registered in Seoul on May 1, 1954. On May 3, 1994 the Unification Church formally had adopted the title of “Family Federation for World Peace and Unification” (FFWPU) according to Dr. Tyler Hendricks, Unification Church president at the time. Church officials explained that the name change expressed Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s intention to broaden the mission of the Unification movement and to include allies in faith from various denominations. In 2009, at the direction of Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, the newly appointed International President, the “Family Federation” title was retired, and the name “Unification Church” was restored to the church headquarters building in Seoul.

Another change announced is that Dr. Chang Shik Yang, formerly the Continental Director for North America, and Dr. Lan Young Moon, president of the International Federation of Women for World Peace (IWFFWP) will take on the leadership of the Unification Church in Korea, True Mother announced, ”Dr. Joon Ho Seuk did great job, but we need someone younger. I looked for a second-generation Unificationist, but they need to grow more, so I chose Dr. Chang Shik Yang to become a president and [Dr.] Lan Young Moon to become a vice president.”

I want to bring glory to Heaven by preserving these teachings permanently

New Year's Celebration, Cheon Jeong Gung, HC 11.26

True Father's teachings and life's work are like gemstones. No matter how precious a gemstone is, it must be cut and polished so that it glitters. Briefly stated, a gemstone is a gemstone, yet it starts out unrefined. I want to bring glory to Heaven by preserving these teachings permanently. This would be to prevent some overconfident person in the future touching them; so that there would be nothing added or subtracted in future generations. I alone can do this. Isn't that true? Who else could do it?

I am well aware of the process by which Cheon Seong Gyeong was made. From now on, things will never happen in that way. When True Father's teachings are published, the content should go through many committees -- a process of examination -- before a book comes out. All of this is for your benefit, and for your descendants' benefit. I do this so that you can hold this book in your arms when you go to the spirit world at the end of your earthly life. Be proud in front of True Father. Report to him, "During my life, thanks to receiving training from Mother, I loved this book, I loved your teachings so much that I have come with it in my arms." I am saying that I am going to perfect, complete and conclude this clearly.

January 7, 2013

New Year Celebration, Cheon Jeong Palace, HC 11.26

We must change the names we use. When we pray to God, from now please change what you say to "Heavenly Parent." The name "Heavenly Parent" is smooth in English and it is meaningful in the Korean, too. Don't you agree? The first words you say when you pray should be "Heavenly Parent" and then "Loving True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind." Make these changes first. If I don't sort this out as we welcome Foundation Day, you will not be able to do that. Not even my children can do that. This is something I have asked my original mind. Do you understand? [Yes.]

From now, we are not the Unification Church but the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. I planned to announce this after Foundation Day, but we need to be united on this matter before the Foundation Day Ceremony. I am saying this because there needs to be unity.

You must go beyond receiving blessings and work hard to share them

Hak Ja Han
January 1, 2013
Heavenly Parent's Day 2013

May you receive many New Year blessings. This is a year in which you should go beyond receiving blessings and work hard to share them with others. I believe we have all been greatly moved by True Father's words, which we read in today's Hoon Dok Hae. When Father established God's Day, he had God's liberation and Foundation Day already in mind and he called God our Heavenly Parent. You heard that in Father's prayer just now. Didn't you? That's right. God's wish is to become the parent. To achieve this, we have followed a path for sixty years, the path of the providence of restoration through indemnity, under True Parents' guidance.

As you may have heard read in Father's speech moments ago, at the time that Father established Parents' Day, the world population was 3 billion. What is the number now? [It is 7 billion.] So the number has more than doubled. Now it is 7 billion. It may even be 7.5 billion.

The world population has grown rapidly in those forty-six years, but we should not merely feel glad about it. Our responsibility and mission has grown that much more important. Heaven and humanity have sought after a world of peace, a world without wars and hunger, a world of freedom, but history to this point has been unable to achieve this goal.

Father led the history of the providence of restoration through indemnity to victory. However, the truth is that behind it all was too much sorrow, grief and suffering to measure. That is how it is with indemnity. He recovered and established everything for us, but the fact of the matter is that we are not in a position where we can just receive it. If we fail to fulfill our responsibility, we too need to pay indemnity. Do we, or don't we? [We do.]

In forty-some years the world population of 3 billion has become 7 billion, and it is the wish of our Heavenly Parent and our wish, as well as a responsibility to be fulfilled in our lifetimes, to make sure that no one in the world, not even those living in the far corners of the world, remains ignorant of the Heavenly Parent, at this point in time when the era of Cheon Il Guk is only days away.

Titles like filial son or daughter and loyal patriot cannot be given when you are comfortable. Unless you have endured much suffering and difficulty and risked your lives for your parents, devoted all your energies for your country, unless you have such a heart and have translated it into action, you cannot receive such titles. Do you understand this?

This moment in time, never seen in history and never to be seen again, is truly the most blessed and happiest time in your life, but if you fail to fulfill your responsibility, it will become the most wretched moment. Why? Because the 7 billion people of the world to whom you have failed to witness will accuse you. Do you understand the term "accusation"? [Yes.] They will say, "Why did you receive the blessing and not tell us about it?" When those living in the farthest reaches of the world join our church, learn about the providence and come to know that the long awaited Lord at his Second Coming, the Messiah, the Savior, came to earth and lived in the same era that they did, breathing the same air, yet they did not have one chance to see him before he passed away, they will deplore this fact forever. Do you understand that? Moreover, you should know that the True Family and blessed families have an even greater responsibility and that they may have to pay much more indemnity for that.

As we usher in the New Year today and celebrate God's Day, we should respect and uphold our Heavenly Parent. Also, we need to pass on the word to all peoples in all corners of the world. What does the Bible say about the word and the rod of iron? It says all nations will be ruled by them. What do you think this means? It means we need to witness to others. Do you understand? [Yes.]

This is why, starting with the senior couples, I am summoning to the homeland those who are working hard and achieving good results as national messiahs, one by one. Do you think I am doing the right thing?

We need a nation in which God, our Heavenly Parent, can dwell.

We need citizens as well. What, then, do we need to do? What should be done? Let me see the people at the back. What needs to be done? [We need to witness.] Witness! We need to witness. We need to fulfill our mission as tribal messiahs. Can you do this? [Yes.]

You need to do this in the remaining years of your life. If you fail to do so, you will not be able to face True Father when you go to the spirit world. He will say to you, "I taught you to do that while I was on earth; moreover Mother also asked you earnestly to do it." You need to do this at all costs, not only for yourselves but also for the future generations of your descendants. Is this true or not? [It is true.]

I have sometimes said that we need to create a good environment.

In a good environment, when you say one word those listening to you will understand ten words. In the beginning, when God created Adam and Eve, were they able to communicate with God or not? They were able to exchange questions and answers with Him. The same can be true for us. When the blessed families create such an environment for themselves, they will be able to witness to others with the littlest of effort. After Foundation Day, you may see such amazing miracles being wrought, depending on how much sincere effort you make. I guarantee this. [Aju! Applause]

You may have very little time left on earth, by which I mean your time on earth in the flesh. I am not young myself, and I know that the thirty-six couples and seventy-two couples are very old now. However, I summoned these senior couples and said to them, "The term life-and-death resolution applies to you now."

They can't know if they will have ten or twenty more years on earth, but if they devote their whole lives to working for the providence, when they pass away they will automatically enter the kingdom of heaven and receive a title such as loyal patriot or filial son or daughter. Won't they? Isn't that true? [It is true.]

Don't men in particular care a lot about honor? When they are given a title, they never want to separate from it. Women, on the other hand, are a little different, I think. Because they have motherly love, I believe they are better at practicing the act of embracing, of giving and forgetting, than men. Is that true, or not, ladies? [It is true. Applause]

Even if I suffer some small loss, I give and forget and invest again, for everyone and for the future. Today is the forty-sixth anniversary. Isn't it? Will you resolve on this day to lead such a life, or not?

Life-and-death resolution! [Life-and-death resolution!] Devoting all our energies! [Devoting all our energies!] Let us set ourselves on fire with passion! [Let us set ourselves on fire with passion!] You need to put these words into action.

Hoping that you will all become proud Unification Church blessed families, I have told you earlier that I called the senior members of the seventy-two couples and asked them to shoulder the burden. By 2020, when we celebrate one hundred years since Father's birth, we need to establish this nation, not only in name but in reality, as God's homeland. Can this possibly be done? [Yes.] Is it possible? [Yes.] Let us make it happen. [Applause]

Therefore, though there are many providential nations, we will carry out great works centering on Korea, Japan and the United States. I believe the preparation for it is well underway in Korea. It will also be done in Japan. Japan! [Yes.] Will you do it? [Yes.] Will you be outdone? [No.]

However, I think there are some problems in United States. So, is Regional President Ki Hoon Kim here? [Yes, I am here.] Stand up. Is Moon Shik Kim here? [Yes.] Moon Shik Kim was an itinerant worker, but should now go to Canada. [Yes, I will.] And Regional President Ki Hoon Kim will become the Chairman of the Unification Movement in the United States. Has Mr. Balcomb come? [Yes, I am here.] [Michael] Balcomb will be appointed president [national leader in the USA]. [Applause]

Centering on the international president, Hyung Jin, you three should become one in heart and in mindset and devote yourselves completely for the restoration of North America. [Yes, we will.]

The fact is that the United States is a nation that Father spared no effort in for forty-some years. He established it as the eldest-son nation, but it has not fulfilled its responsibility. The eldest son needs to embrace his brothers, but it has been absorbed in saving itself and hasn't looked after its brothers. That is wrong. So I will reorganize everything and right all the wrongs. Is that clear? [Yes.]

Ki Hoon Kim! [Yes.] Many foundations were prepared by Father, like those for Christianity and ambassadors for peace. Henceforth, the US Unification Church needs to march forward with the Holy Spirit and the truth. [Yes, I understand.] What have I been saying? The lights in the churches should be on twenty-four hours a day, and they should overflow with the Holy Spirit and the truth. Did I say this or not? [Yes, you did.] I hope you will translate those words into action. [Yes, I will.] Please sit down.

Besides those three, there are many other important providential nations. I have summoned those who have been working as region al directors in the United States. Through them and others, we will focus on managing not only Korea, Japan and U.S., but also nations with potential and other important providential nations that cannot be put aside, so that by 2020 we will be in a position where we can save Heaven's honor and prestige. Witnessing activities! We will invest ourselves and do it at all cost! [We will! Applause]

Do we not have hope? [We do!] We do! [Applause] You should listen to the Cheon Il Guk national anthem every morning and evening as you go to and from work, savoring every word. When you practice the lyrics, you will become free. That is how the world of freedom, peace, unity and happiness can be built. That is why you are the problem. You are the problem! Do you understand? [Yes.] You are the problem! [We understand.] I am the problem! We need to establish traditions.

That is why I will work diligently, following you around to see how you work. In all likelihood you will receive many revelations through your dreams. I can actually feel it. Rather than borrowing help from the spirit world, however, I hope that you will each do your best as blessed family members to fulfill your responsibility. Do you understand? [Yes.] Then by watching you I will gain strength.

We are talking not only about Korea's restoration but of the world's restoration. Is it good if I pass away quickly, leaving the world's 7 billion people behind, or do you wish me to remain on earth for a long time? [Please stay a long time.] So, is National Messiah Jong Yeong Yu

here? [Yes.] Is Jeong Ja Gang here? Both of you, please come to the front and sing the Tumen River song, and give us a short, five-minute, testimony of how you were mobilized and what you have achieved.

[After his wife sang, Rev. Jong Yeong Yu testified about returning to Korea and his experience in his hometown.]

I will add something here.

From this year, I will make it so that the celebrations of God's Day, True Parents' Day, the Day of All Things, and Children's Day will take root in each of the nations. Why? Since all the church celebrations are held at one place, the leaders come, but the members do not understand the significance of those days. Do you understand what I mean? [Yes.]

Each and every national church, regardless of how many churches it has, should prepare for the celebrations of God's Day or Parents' Day or Day of All Things or Children's Day. While preparing, all the members should unite with the church president's leadership and offer many conditions to ready themselves for the celebrations. You cannot go to heaven if you live your lives halfheartedly. We have studied True Father's teachings, explaining how holy days, such as this God's Day, came to be established, and it is only too true that without shedding tears of blood in the background, we cannot pay indemnity to move forward. Because the world is wrong, because it is fallen, we need to rise above it, and to do so we need to pay indemnity. This, however, is very difficult to do.

We need to make Satan throw up his hands and admit defeat. Those days were established after winning victory after victory in each stage. Members need to comprehend this. From the leaders in the highest positions to the newest members, you all need to be aware that True Parents have passed through a course of blood and tears to establish those days for you. If you realized this, every time you celebrated one of those days you would become all the more determined in your heart to be loyal and devoted to Heaven. Wouldn't you? [We would.] A nation with such members will then grow and develop.

I want to spread this practice worldwide so that I can bring every one of you in front of Heaven. Do you understand? [Yes.] The next celebrations we will hold on a grand scale is Foundation Day. This Foundation Day will be our greatest event, because it is the day on which we begin anew under the Heavenly Parent. It is to be the grandest day.

On the day marking Father's ascension, not only members of the Unification Church but, when they learn about him, all the world's 7 billion people will wish to visit the place where he was laid to rest.

Where is that? It is Bonhyangwon. [Yes.] Pilgrimage. This pilgrimage will become another great event. I believe Father said at the time the church began, "People will come to visit Korea in an endless line." What do you think that means? We need to establish that day in such a way. [Yes; Aju!] I am right in thinking so. Aren't I? [Yes.] Don't you agree with me? [Yes; Applause]

Then, may there be endless glory in heaven and eternal thanksgiving, acclamation and praise on earth! [Aju! Applause]

New Year's Benediction for the New Year, 2013

Hak Ja Han
January 1, 2013

January 1, 2001

Beloved Heavenly Parent, we have now ushered in the New Year, 2013. We are deeply grateful to you for allowing the heavenly world and the earthly world to unite as one in mind and heart and solemnly begin this first day of the year in which we will celebrate the Foundation Day of Cheon Il Guk, in the presence of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.

Our Heavenly Parent, what a history of sorrow and grief You have had to go through to establish Cheon Il Guk!

To complete the history of the providence of restoration through indemnity caused by the fall of the first human ancestors, You have had to lead the providence of salvation and have Your heart rent by each and every one of the sacrifices and mistakes made by the providential central figures whom You established. How many tears of blood You have wept in the background of such history!

In particular, ever since the Coronation Ceremony of the Kingship of God was performed and Cheon Il Guk declared in 2001 on the foundation of True Parents' victorious realm, during the last twelve years we have lived each day as if it were a thousand years and a thousand years as if it were a day, begrudging every moment that passed and exerting ourselves to the utmost.

The era after the coming of heaven was proclaimed, and Cheon Jeong Gung was built on earth and dedicated to You, thus establishing on the rock of ages the ground whereon the Heavenly Parent could come to settle on earth. And in the presence of all of heaven and earth, enthronement and coronation ceremonies were performed through which the Heavenly Parent was liberated and freed.

Most beloved Heavenly Parent, with Foundation Day only twelve days away, we should repent with all our heart for all the responsibilities we have failed to fulfill until now. The True Family and the blessed families should become one under the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and prepare a new environment in which we can give ourselves as living offerings for Cheon Il Guk in the realm of Shim Jeong, which is characterized by one heart, one body, one mindset and one harmony.

I declare that all members of the Unification Family across the world are resolving to become one with True Parents' will and to fulfill their mission as tribal messiahs at all costs, and to make a new beginning.

As we usher in the first year of Cheon Il Guk, in 2013, I hope and pray that the entire worldwide Unification Family, and all peoples, will open the gates to an amazing new era of peace and prosperity, in which the physical and spiritual worlds will overflow with heavenly blessings and the Heavenly Parent's great love.

All this we offer and request in the name of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. Aju! Aju! Aju!

After True Mother prayed and a video was shown of True Father writing the motto, she gave the following brief greeting:

The day long hoped for by the Heavenly Parent, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and all humankind has dawned. This is a message of blessing from True Parents to all people of the world on this first day of the New Year. May this year be one of hope begun in True Parents' great love.

True Mother's 2013 Seonghwa Summer Camp in Korea

Hak Ja Han
September 2013

The 2013 Seonghwa Camp was conducted at the World Jamboree Training Center, Goseong (about three hour's drive from Seoul) from August 2-4. The camp was organized with the internal goal of increasing the pride that our young people feel about being second- and third-generation members that are to grow into the leaders of the 2020 Cheon Il Guk age and to provide an opportunity for students in our younger generations to better harmonize and unite with one another. By inviting their outside (non-member) school friends to the camp, our aim was to provide a turning point by which these invited friends might in the future accept True Parents and establish a deeper tie with them.

In order to prepare for the camp, staff members, including university students and Universal Peace Academy students arrived at the camp five days earlier and stayed there to take care of all internal and external arrangements. They did a forty-day bowing condition for the camp while continuing with the rehearsing of the camp program procedures and the duties of the management team. The staff members placed their maximum effort in preparation for the camp, setting up (at times in the rain) around 1,300 tents to be used by the young campers.

Around seven thousand people came despite the rain on the first day. The campground was divided according to Korean church regions. Five people stayed in each tent. The camp began with an opening ceremony that included flags bearers from all the regional church headquarters. A singing contest, which the regional headquarters had prepared for, was the next program to enliven the main stage. Participating students had practiced singing in their churches; this process helped deepen the faith of those participating because they prepared by doing bowing conditions to True Parents. It also strengthened the sibling love among participants. Intense competition emerged between the eighteen participating regions. The national headquarters church won the first prize.

The second day's schedule started with Hoon Dok Hae through the public address system. After Hoon Dok Hae, everyone received some pumpkin taffy. The taffy and candy, awaiting us after every Hoon Dok Hae, were special treats from True Mother. Different programs took place simultaneously on the second day. The Challenge Valley course had military-style guerilla programs through which the bodies and minds of our Seonghwa students were trained, the preliminary rounds of a talent contest were conducted on the main stage, and a Divine Principle lecture contest was on-going in the audio-visual room. In addition, the Seonghwa Harmony Festival had around thirty small-scale programs readied for immediate participation. The festive aura was heightened through different programs that the young people could involve themselves in, including kart-riding, quad bike riding, rappelling and zip-lining (wearing a harness, attached by pulleys to a cable, called a zip line, the person goes rapidly down the zip line for some distance high above the ground). The Seonghwa Olympic Festival, a food festival, water sports and fairgrounds all kept the young people occupied. The temperature was so hot on that day that True Parents treated everyone to ice cream during lunchtime.

In the evening of the second day, the Seonghwa Cultural Festival took place with True Mother in the audience. Part I of the cultural festival was conducted in the following order: True Parents' entrance, a report prayer, a group photo, a congratulatory performance, a Divine Principle lecture demonstration by a Seonghwa student representative, a holy song choir, a talent show, a special performance by the True Grandchildren, True Mother's message and the lightning of the campfire. True Mother encouraged participants saying, "I am proud of all of you Seonghwa Hakseng [middle and high school students] that are participating here today! I am certain that True Father would have been pleased with all your preparations and performances."

Part two of the Seonghwa Cultural Festival went in the following order: "Story Dance" performed by the Seonghwa team of the headquarter church, fun dance performances by the southern Seoul church Seonghwa team, "Black Light" by the Jeonbuk church, "Seonghwa Style" by CARP, rock music by the band "Reborn." congratulatory performances by Heogak and Turan and a candlelight prayer session.

On the third day, an awards presentation for winners of different contests took place and time was allotted before the closing ceremony to reflect on the camp theme -- Let us become dedicated sons and daughters of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind -- and through reflection to become determined to be Seonghwa students that will testify to True Parents through their lives and activities wherever they live and study.

The camp became a turning point for the entire Unification community in recognizing the importance of educating second-generation members and in becoming united in heart. Below are some reflections and testimonies by participants and assessment by outside people related to the event.

A reflection by Chong Hwi Lim (a high school sophomore) from the headquarters church

When I learned that True Mother would participate, I felt this camp held special significance. For this reason, I started offering conditions long before the camp started. In the headquarters church we had the theme "How great are our True Parents?" With that concept in mind, I offered desperate conditions and practiced for the talent contest. While sincerely devoting myself, I thought increasingly about the fact that the messiah came alone to the fallen world and how great True Parents' life courses were.

This is how I came to participate in the camp. Finally, the time came for us to demonstrate what we had prepared for through the talent contest in front of True Mother. After watching the entire talent contest, True Mother expressed how Father would have been pleased if he had seen us perform.

I just happened to look up at the sky and noticed how the clouds resembled True Father. I had goose bumps from seeing that and realized that True Father was actually looking at us and strongly felt the existence of the spiritual world. The time spent at the camp was precious because I came to realize that True Parents are with us.

A second-generation member from Belarus

"I am the oldest second generation member in Belarus. However, the small number of second-generation members and the political suppression in Belarus intimidate our lives as young members. Nevertheless, this camp has enabled me to see True Parents face to face and to realize that many second-generation members live in the homeland of our faith. This simultaneously greatly surprised and delighted me. I am proud of being a child in a blessed family and will convey this heart to my younger brothers and sisters in Belarus."

A reflection by Soon Na Lee, a Sunday school teacher at the Chung Pyung church

We were on our way to the camp on a bus. I gave an orientation explaining the camp schedule, the necessary precautions and the heart they should have toward the camp experience. Once I finished orienting the young people on the camp, I prayed. I then tried to get some sleep for the rest of the way. While trying to sleep, I suddenly saw a vision. I saw all Seonghwa students inside our Heavenly Parent's heart. All of a sudden, I realized the immense value of Seonghwa students, who are True Parents' children. I also felt 1 had to offer more dedications to make Seonghwa students healthier and stronger.

I was so surprised and overwhelmed by this experience that tears continually rolled down from my eyes for some time.

Manager of the World Jamboree Training Center, Tae Yun Kim

Around seven thousand students participated in the camp, yet not a single accident occurred. This in itself shows that the event was a success. I have seen numerous events conducted by affiliated groups of the Jamboree Alliance, yet none have been as organized as this event. I was quite surprised by this facet. The staff members from the various regional church headquarters arrived in advance to prepare for the camp. The organized and systematic methods employed as the staff members prepared for this large event and the way in which the staff of each regional church took turns leading the student campers throughout the camp schedule was enviable.

Seonghwa Leisure, president Myeong Gi Kim

I last worked with the Family Federation in relation to a Seonghwa students' camp about ten or so years ago. I was quite glad to work with FFWPU after such a long time. Retrieving (after the camp ended) the one thousand five hundred tents that the event required concerned me. When the camp ended, I went to the place where all the tents were supposed to be placed. I was indeed surprised to see that most of them had been returned and were well arranged. I have worked with many other groups, but none had such a high rate of retrieved tents.

No greater blessing exists than to have lived with True Father

True Parents at an outdoor service in 1976.

I know you have all worked hard until now. Thank you. However, we have a special mission. We are fortunate, out of all the people, to have lived with True Father and to be able to live as blessed families attending True Parents. In relation to the future, no greater blessing exists. Our Heavenly Parent has certainly given us a large blessing. Isn't that right? [Yes! l

We received an unprecedented blessing. In light of that, how should we live? We learn many different things through history. We made different decisions about how to conduct our lives based on True Father's deeds and the many teachings he gave to us.

Please think for a moment about how God started the Creation with the formation of heaven and earth and concluded it hopefully with the conception of Adam and Eve. He expressed his happiness and then rested. Adam and Eve were God's hope for the future. They were supposed to grow well and become God's body. You know that. In the end, they were supposed to become humanity's True Parents. What happened?

Adam and Eve were meant to treat absolute faith, love and obedience as the most precious aspects of life, as should we, but they failed to act in that manner. That is why they ended up forming the fallen world. As a result, God ended up living in loneliness instead of living in his almightiness. The Bible mentions that human history is six thousand years old. How many people do you think lived in this fallen world before going to the spiritual world throughout those six thousand years? The spiritual world, where God dwells, is a painful place…

How did Father describe God? He described God as a lonely God, a resentful God. Fortunately, True Parents could liberate and completely free God by fulfilling their responsibilities. God obtained freedom through True Parents. However, there is one more point you need to consider. People who live in the satanic world end up not knowing God or understanding the providence. Are spirits white or black? Until now, the spiritual world was completely in the dark. However, the Unification Church and the spiritual intervention in Chung Pyung have enabled the spiritual world, which was in the dark, to come into the light.

I would like you to consider this: Do you think the spiritual world, which is in the dark, would brighten at once now that Father has gone to the spiritual world? You must make an environment for Father. Do you understand?

I can say that the period until the first anniversary of Father's ascension was one through which True Father made the necessary preparation to conduct activities freely in all aspects of the entire spiritual world. Through the spiritual intervention at Chung Pyung and Dae Mo Nim's intervention, they have been able to brighten the spiritual world, which was in the dark, by liberating ancestors. Is that correct? [Yes]

True Father has gone. What should we do to help Father more freely and widely intervene on earth with a thousand-fold greater effect of God-like phenomena? You must liberate all of your ancestors. As for those who have been witnessed to.... Today, we have specifically brought to life 1,200 new spiritual children. You must educate them and help them liberate all their ancestors. Only by doing that will the dark spiritual world became brighter. Do you understand? [Applause]

Just as Dr. [Chang Shik] Yang reported, once the first anniversary of Father's ascension was completed, secular society took our side in cases that had brought us great anxiety, ones that secular society had not been able to understand. When you advance in unity with True Parents, the entire spiritual world will be with you. This is what our Heavenly Parent and True Parents were hoping for.

It is also your present responsibility and mission to create an environment. Do you understand? [Yes] We must be able to expand the environment by tens or hundreds of times by the second anniversary, next year. By doing that, those in the spiritual world can give us greater support. Let us all become dedicated and loyal children that can fulfill our responsibilities at all costs by 2020.

In all the areas I look into, you have certainly received many blessings. However, when dwelling on ways to thank and repay Heaven for the precious things we have received, sleep would not easily come to us. Think about this. It was the Bible that led Christianity throughout its two-thousand-year history. Once the Bible was translated into English, it was used to witness to the world. However, it took a long time to translate the Bible. It has been said that a perfect translation of the Bible emerged in the sixteenth century under King James. A long time passed before it happened; all the people, that came and went before this translation, ended up going to the spiritual world in the dark, not knowing anything about God's providence. When we consider this, how blessed are we in comparison. Everything has been given to us. The Cheon Il Guk Scriptures that were published this time are eternal. If we can love, believe and practice the scriptures, we can achieve with our own hands the kingdom of heaven on earth, the ideal world of freedom, peace, unity, and joy that Heaven has hoped for and we have hoped for. In other words, each one of us can establish a tribe and nation. What greater blessing is there than this?

That is why Heaven specially raised the Korean people. Finally, this country has become the chosen nation through True Parents. Responsibility follows us as the chosen nation and we should fulfill it. Chairman Cheol Seung Lee said something quite interesting during his memorial address. He said that if servants do something great, the master also receives good treatment as a result. Who is the servant? In this environment? I do not know how it sounds to you, but the servants are those in the Cain-realm of this nation. Briefly, they must be aware of and attend True Parents. For that to occur, those that have already come to know of True Parents must introduce those in the Cain-realm of this nation to True Parents and educate them. Did Korea fulfill her responsibility during the first anniversary of Father's ascension? She did not? By the second anniversary, each of you has the responsibility to help the servants do well and receive the deserved treatment through you.

That path is one on which you must witness harder than ever. Will you all become proud Unification Church blessed family members that can show glory in front of our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind? Can you become such blessed family members? [We can.]

As we prepare for the second anniversary, full of hope, I would like to ask you again to please do your utmost.
