After a successful Peace Starts with Me Unity Festival on June 22 at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, a Victory Celebration took place at the International Peace Education Center (IPEC) on Sunday, June 23, with the main hall overflowing with guests.
Dr. Ki Hoon Kim, Regional Chairman of Family Federation North America, expressed great thanks to the youth for their lively energy and dedication to support True Mother.
True Mother entered the room and spoke briefly about the address she gave at the Unity Festival, with the prominent message being, “Now is the time for America.” Read more here.
She offered a gift to Dr. Kim for guiding America to its continued success and victory, and one to the Generation Peace Academy (GPA) for their support, dedication and energy toward bringing about national restoration.
Crescentia DeGeode, Director of the Blessing and Family Ministry, then offered a very strong and moving prayer which was followed by a series of testimonies and reports. First, Rev. Demian Dunkley, President of Family Federation USA, told the story about how God instructed him to organize a rally. On another occasion, God told him to unite with Dr. Kim 100%. Demian continued with a few reflections he received from people who participated at the Unity Festival. One said, “Bishop Noel Jones opened my heart, and then True Mother stole it.”
Rev. John Jackson, Southwest Subregional Director, talked about his experience planning and preparing for the rally. Through outreach, he met many wonderful and unique people,…

Early Members
Tell Their Stories
There were some people who met Father very early on in life, and whose insights are therefore precious for us to glean now, as they write from their unique perspective and add details we have not known before. One of the earliest disciples of Father’s was at first more a friend than a follower. They met when they were both students in their early twenties.
Part 1
Father and I were students in Tokyo at the same time, but Father’s major was in engineering and my major was architecture. There were many Korean students in Japan at that time, and I was president of the Korean students in Tokyo. Father was very quiet; he never spoke loudly, went to coffee shops, drank, or mixed with other students. When I became president of the Korean students, I organized a student meeting, and for the first time Father stood up, spoke and sang loudly. This was how I began to know Father.
In those days, Korean students had to be very careful, because the Japanese secret police were very concerned about the Korean students’ ideology, knowing that sometimes, deep inside, they were hostile to authority or, because of being idealistically motivated, were interested in Communist ideology.
Sometimes I visited Father’s boarding house, where he and two other Korean students lived. Father was always very studious, and when I went to his room I saw Japanese, Korean and English Bibles on his desk; many passages were underlined and the margins were filled with…

We had a 2-day workshop for Christian pastors in Abuja, Nigeria on June 18 and 19, 2019 with 14 particiapnts. The purpose was to educate them to become our core group of ministers who will play a major role in HTM Blessing activities in the country. After completing the 2-day workshop, they will then go through a 7-day workshop. And when they go through the 5 steps of the blessing they will become officiators of the blessing in their own states.
Ten heads of churches (Apostles and Bishops) attended, out of whom five came with their spouses. It was a great success. The attitudes of the participants were exemplary. Everyone was enthusiastic about the content they received and expressed a great desire to share it with their churches. On the second day, we held a Blessing ceremony which everyone participated in.
Among the leaders were Apostle & Mrs. John & Eka Okoriko, Founders of Solid Rock Kingdom Church, Uyo in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. Apostle Ohoriko is a TV Pastor and a well-established household name in Akwa Ibom State. He and his wife were very inspired by the Divine Principle teaching. He said he’d actually been to one of our CAUSA Seminars in Washington DC in the 1980s.
At time of the Blessing, during Holy Wine ceremony, he was having a spiritual experience. All the while as the Holy Wine ceremony was going on, he had his face lifted to heaven. He later shared that at that moment he was asking God what to do and then the Holy Spirit ministered to him and urged him to drink…
