Some Suggestions for Witnessing Success

This testimony was first given in the summer of 2021 during a global pastors’ rally that highlighted best practices. We have edited the text slightly for inclusion in this series.

By Pastor Mrs. Sangkom Netsopa, Thailand

I would like to share the practices that explain how we brought at least 43 couples to become members. 

Offering conditions
Invest in jeongsong conditions: we are continuously attended morning devotions not only as a family but also national and regional level which we call “PeaceNet”. Through Peace Net we study True Mother’s memoir and True Parents’ teaching, and also we are doing 40 bows, and praying for our spiritual children and all 430 blessed couples in our tribe. We pray for our ancestors (430 generations) for them to become blessed families. Through this condition I can ask them to help my missions whenever I wish, and also my family members regularly attend CheonBo providential events and write wish papers.

Preparation

Because I have worked to become a CheonBo couple with my spiritual children and one blessed family who works in the public mission, then I have to take care of my public team (all blessed families) and good take care of the families of my spiritual children in my hometown who accomplished 430 couples, so that we can work together.

I realized that if I could raise up minimum 43 couples from my tribe in my hometown with potential leaders from each organization in locality, such as district leaders, community leaders, former teacher and my cousin to become members from the existing 430 couples is I am truly believe that from minimum 43 couples at least 1 couple can help me taking care of 10 families then I choose 3 couples become my trinity to offer special devotion for them. And take special care of 3 couples approach method and educated them level by level until they are practicing tradition as blessed central families and help to educate how to develop other couples, one is former district leaders, my former teacher and former local politician. 

Approach Methods (Activities)

When visiting them to strengthen our relationship with each family and give them the handbook that can educate them on how to become a blessed central family, we also provide them traditional books and True Parents’ words for hoondokhae.

Setting up methods to always communicate with all couples:

• Setting up a group chatroom to convey True Parents’ teachings and news, updated providence, through texts and videos. In order to inform and encourage them to participate in public events including major ones run by IHQ; continuously building up relationships with them through sending these materials.  
• Continuously taking care of our relatives and siblings who are blessed families in order to share True Parents’ teachings, and remind them how much they have changed in their daily life to become happy families; also show them the model of blessed families so that they can help me to take care new families in the community.
• Attending local service activities, cultural exchange, local religious orders’ activities, giving scholarships to children from our blessed families’ community, supporting students in sports and games and also activities in the schools to develop young people. Many of the students are children of blessed families in my tribe.

Cultivating a firmer commitment

1. We focused and invested to educate from one couple to become the position of John the Baptist. he is former local government leader, and now his couple truly Love and believe in Heavenly Parent and True Parents. This couple, as good leaders, has great potential to witness to other couples and get them to follow him. His background is Buddhism he can adjust the Buddhist principle and explain to local people that the position of True Parents is as the Parents of Humankind. He make it easier for the people to understand and respect our True Parents and understand Heavenly Parent.
2. Organizing HTM Leaders school to study the Divine Principle more deeply and participating to the Cyber Leader School Workshop to know how to make a team to multiply and how can we set up a good system to develop and take care others.
3. Setting up small home groups in communities and holding the training system for leaders. Whenever we do HDH together we will guide them how to offer their respect to True Parents’ photograph in their house and why they need to take True Parents photo in their wallet to remind themselves.
4. Multiplying Morning Devotion or PeaceNet to teach Mother of Peace (True Mother life course) through zoom and sending YouTube link to all families as a worship service everyone can learn how to give donations through online banking
5. Every morning we are sending short extracts of True Parents’ words to all families, bringing them to attend every rally and educating them through sending morning devotions VOD recordings.
6. Bring them to attend CheongPyeong CheonBo Branch in Thailand; many of them had spiritual experiences through the Chanyang sessions and many of them experienced miracle through writing wish papers.
7. Focusing to witness all children who are single to come to attend Principle workshops and have the potential to receive matching and blessing in the future.
8. Raising up the blessed wives who are leaders’ couple to establish Women’s Federation branches in the areas.
9. Establishing Family Federation branches through 43 key leaders, beginning from my spiritual tribe’s blessed members; coordinate with key leaders from each local organization.

In our family, our dreams and goals are to substantiate the foundation in our tribe; to bring all blessed families to be core blessed families; to work harder and help and support other blessed families to be successful and become CheonBo couples. Moreover, to build even one area in my hometown to become Cheon Il Guk, where all families would become blessed families practicing heavenly traditions. They will know Heavenly Parent as their own parent and know that True Parents are the Parents of humankind. Everyone can be born again.
