World Mission Headquarters shared with members around the world, the following two letters to True Mother from Goiânia Church in Brazil and Alajuela Church in Costa Rica, during the Cheon Shim Won Vigil Prayer on January 13, 2025.
From: Rev. Nivaldo Alves dos Santos (Goiânia, Brazil)
Dear True Mother,
I sincerely wish you good health and longevity.
Goiânia Church mainly focuses on leading new members to the Blessing. So, we are earnestly seeking help from the spirit world by offering name-calling prayer 1,000 times for all the new members and guests.
Currently, there are four single candidates who have completed the Blessing education and are in the preparation process, and among them, one is currently in communication. The remaining three candidates have submitted all the Blessing documents related in December last year, and are currently waiting for the Blessed Family Department’s approval.
Also, as a result of our sincere devotions, miracles are happening in our witnessing activities. Let me share one of many examples.
Djair, a member of the Goiânia Church who works as an Uber driver was able to witness a pastor named Ronaldo. One day, while Djair was driving Pastor Ronaldo in his Uber, the two of them naturally began to talk about their families and various concerns in the car. This led to a connection, and he began witnessing Pastor Ronald by introducing the Divine Principle and the Heavenly Parent’s Holy Community. Impressed by the Principle, Pastor Ronaldo visited the church every night and continued his education through watching the lecture videos.
He completed both the 7-day Principle Training and Blessing education and vowed to witness to his family and receive the Holy Blessing from True Parents with his wife. He is currently offering a 40-day condition of name calling prayer for his family 1,000 times and 40-minute prayer everyday.
As a result of this devotion, he was able to witness sister, Paula. She has completed all the Divine Principle lectures and is currently attending the Blessing education lectures. Realizing the value of the Blessing, she has decided to witness her own husband in the future.
A few months ago, a CheonBo event was held in Goiania Church, led by Branch Director Kim Sung-nam, and a miracle took place. Mrs. Paula participated in the CheonBo event with her husband. Touched by the love and grace of Heaven, her husband decided to voluntarily attend the Divine Principle and Blessing education starting next week.
As we work standing on the spiritual foundation of sincere devotion, we experience many miracles. I would like to express my gratitude to True Mother for establishing Cheon Shim Won branches in each region. I will continue to move forward so that when we meet True Mother in person on the day of the Entrance Ceremony of the Cheon Il Sanctum in Cheon Won Gung, we will be able to offer even more results. Aju!
From: Rev. Oscar Mario Barquero (Alajuela, Costa Rica)
Dear True Mother,
We send warm greetings from all the members of the Strategic Growth church in Alajuela, Costa Rica. I would like to report on the family witnessing, restoration of inactive members, and Single Blessing candidate of Alajuela Church. I hope this letter will be able to give you some strength.
First of all, I am pleased to report that five new guests have been attending Sunday services. They are the family members of a church member. This is the result of visiting their house every 15 days and constantly educating them on the Divine Principle.
They are the father, mother, brother, nephew, and niece of a church member, and they accept and are interested in all the educational content we have presented. The parents of this member expressed their desire to receive the Holy Blessing in April 2024. Therefore, we are preparing for the Blessing education and all the internal and external conditions to be completed.
Among the five witnessing guests, the 15-year-old niece has been interested in Korean culture since she was a child and is currently studying Korean. She says that traveling to Korea is her dream. The positive influence of the Korean Hallyu Wave has made it possible for her to naturally accept the fact that True Parents are on earth and were born in Korea. We will continue to educate and guide her so that she can participate in the 7-day Youth Workshop to be held nationwide this month.
Next, I would like to report on the restoration of inactive members, and Single Blessing candidates.
As a result of working together with the church members, three inactive Blessed families have returned and are attending Sunday services regularly. In addition, the Alajueula Church has one candidate for the Single Blessing. We are continuously supporting this young man so that he can go through the matching process smoothly and receive the Blessing in April this year.
The members of the Alajuela Church are offering sincere devotions with the heart of hoping to unite with True Mother for the sake of the Will. We are mainly focusing on finding the people prepared by Heavenly Parent and witnessing to family, colleagues, and friends through offering Cheon Shim Won devotion in the church and especially within the family. We will continue to confidently witness those closest to us with True Love.
We will work with the desire to offer greater joy as true filial sons and daughters for the Entrance Ceremony of the Cheon Il Sanctum in the Cheon Won Gung, and we are determined to report more hopeful results to True Mother next month. True Mother, we love you!
