Reflections
-Robert S. Kittel, Cheon Eui Won Chair of Heavenly Asia Pacific
This program brought revival to the leadership of the Heavenly Asia-Pacific region. The content was profound. The missing piece of the puzzle, the last piece of a puzzle that has taken 6,000 years to put together was finally put in place. This is the dénouement of human history. Understanding True Mother’s position and unique responsibility gave us a clearer picture of the value and importance of True Parents and God as our Heavenly Parent.
I would like to offer an absolute determination to help True Mother be successful in her lifetime. It is possible; very possible. We can revive Christianity. The Philippines can be the model for the restoration of Christianity.
-Erdenetsetseg Erdenee, National Leader of Mongolia
To clearly explain True Parent’s teachings to our members, we must first understand the unity of True Mother’s heart and feelings, guiding us in the proper way to digest all the contents.
Our Wang Omma has been silent and patient throughout 53 years in carrying out her mission. This is clear evidence that our Beloved True Mother is the Only Begotten Daughter of the First Coming, even liberating True Father in the spirit world through her utmost sincerity in guiding us with her wisdom and love from Heavenly Mother.
-Pasit Sirimalai, National Leader of Myanmar
I felt so sorry for our True Mother being alone but still keeps her promise to God and True Father. She needs our help and support. Yes, we must become the “needle” for True Mother. I am also grateful that True Mother guides us to continue praying at Cheonshimwon to move forward with the spirit and the truth together. I feel so happy to share all the things we have learned in the seminar to our members in the coming days.
– Binod Dangi, National Leader of Bhutan
The seminar on True Parent’s Value and Stature served as a poignant reminder of the profound significance of parents in shaping the future of humanity. It reaffirmed my conviction to strive towards embodying the values of love, sacrifice, and respect in my own role as a parent and member of blessed center family.
Asia FFWPU President Rev. Masaichi Hori had guided us in the group discussion more clearly about begotten daughter of God to us. Now I will teach this new teaching of only begotten daughter God to our all BCF and members. Yes Mother, you are the only begotten daughter God.
