On the evening of January 18, 2020, in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Canada the Founders’ Birthday Celebration and Ambassadors for Peace Service Awards was held at the Payal Hall in Mississauga.
January’s weather in Canada is unpredictable and our plans can always be affected and interrupted. Mother Nature cooperated and blessed us with 10 inches of snow (20 cm) in the hours just before the event!
Surprisingly, most of the 500 confirmed guests attended including three current members of Federal and Provincial parliament, other dignitaries religious and civic leaders, heads of NGOs and community organizations from the vast ethnic and multi-cultural community that makes up Canada. Some fifty ethnic communities were represented.
Since 2014, the Canadian Unification Family has been regularly celebrating the birthday of our Founders, the Reverend and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon, affectionately referred to as True Parents. Dr. Ki Hoon Kim, current Chairperson of FFWPU and UPF, North America, who attended this year’s event, has been a strong supporter of this effort since he previously served in Canada during 2012 and 2013 prior to his Continental appointment.

Tell Their Stories
God calls us at times when we are not expecting it. Many of us who joined the church can attest to this. Yet sometimes when people respond to God’s call, He brings them to a front line they could never have imagined because He is entrusting members of a family with special providential responsibilities.
This testimony was written some 35 years ago, in the mid-1980s.

I felt immense warmth and personal love from her.

On the 5th-7th of January, 2020, a Winter Workshop for second generation from Moscow gathered 76 participants from seven to 17 years old. The topic of the workshop was “Following the footsteps of True Mother.” Each participant had a unique opportunity to be a part of large family with many children of different ages.
The lectures were given according to different age groups. Based on True Parents’ lives the second generation could look at themselves and see how they can pay more attention to internal aspects of their lives, change some of their bad habits, understand, notice and deal with their fallen nature and create a space for God and True Parents to work in their lives. Our regional president Mr. Jack Corley gave his testimony of meeting with True Parents. Different games inside and outside, master classes in martial arts, drawing, sewing and making crafts kept everybody very busy during the first two days.
As True Mother was talking about restoring 7 nations and finding 7 keys, we made molds for casting a key for each team. Representatives of the first generation, Mr. and Mrs. Corley and Elena Kalmatskaya filled the base of the mold for the key with epoxy resin symbolizing the foundation made by the parents and then each team member added some sparkling materials to the key, symbolizing their desire to invest their talents and abilities for the joint efforts.
Each clan produced a “Challenge Calendar” beginning from that day until True Father’s birthday with the themes prayer, gratitude, HDH or filial piety. This is going to be a preparation for each child…
