Buenos Aires, Argentina: Following the appointment of the new South Region Leader, Rev. Koichi Sasaki, FFWPU Argentina hosted a dynamic Sunday Service and Tribal Messiah Workshop on May 31, 2026. The gathering served to present the various departments and functions of the Sacred Community of Heavenly Parent (Cheon Il Guk Community) and to revitalize the regional witnessing system across the nation.
Participants were strongly encouraged to redouble their outreach efforts, with the concrete goal of each member guiding at least one spiritual child to participate in the 2027 Cosmic Blessing. The day brought together leaders and members for strategic planning, spiritual reflection, and training focused on education and sharing the values of Cheon Il Guk with society.
Key Highlights and Presenters
A Providential Period of Preparation
President Esperanza Gómez emphasized that the community is currently passing through a vital providential period of preparation for the establishment of the Heavenly Kingdom. In her message, she highlighted the importance of strengthening faith, unity, and internal spiritual life. She reminded the audience that witnessing is a fundamental responsibility for every member in restoring God’s children and guiding them to the True Parents.
Witnessing as a Path to Perfection
Dr. Gustavo Giuliano, Director of the Tribal Messiah Department, delivered an insightful presentation entitled “Witnessing as the Shortest Path to Personal Perfection.”
“Spiritual growth is achieved through actively practicing love and service toward others,” he explained.
Dr. Giuliano stressed that helping others draw closer to God directly contributes to one’s own restoration, emphasizing that discipline, personal care, and organized efforts are essential to achieving lasting results.
The Value of the Blessing
Prof. Juan E. Varga, Director of the Family Department, spoke deeply on the providential meaning of the Holy Blessing and outlined the various matching and Blessing processes. He explained that the Blessing enables individuals to inherit God’s love, life, and lineage, while emphasizing the critical role of continuous education in preparing families to build God-centered lives.
Supporting Modern Families
Lic. Erika Alcaraz, FFWPU Secretary General, introduced the newly developed Family Education Program. This initiative is specifically designed to address the unique challenges faced by modern families by providing education, mentoring, and practical tools to strengthen marriage, parenting, and character development.

The Tribal Messiah Workshop concluded with several key strategic resolutions to promote sustainable growth and a broader openness to the principles of Cheon Il Guk:
- Strengthen Local Groups: Build stronger cooperation and synergy among various providential organizations.
- Community-Based Activities: Develop engaging, local programs focused on family values, education, health, and the prevention of modern social problems.
