The HJ Cheonbo branch of Heavenly Latin America conducted a special workshop on September 6, 2024. Led by Rev. Seong Nam Kim, the CheonBo staff arrived in Cochabamba, Bolivia. As part of the spiritual preparation, a special vigil was held on the same day at Cheon Shim Won, with participation from pastors of various churches, blessed families, and members—a total of 86 participants engaged in deep devotion. Their united voices created an atmosphere where the presence of Heavenly Parent and the True Parents was strongly felt.
On September 8, the main special HJ Cheonbo workshop was held on the Subregion 3 level of Heavenly Latin America at the Coliseum of the American Institute of the Evangelical Methodist Church in Bolivia. This venue was secured with the support of Bishop Medardo Vedia, an Ambassador of Peace. The event welcomed 271 participants from La Paz, Santa Cruz, Sucre, Oruro, and Tarija, while members from Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Suriname joined online via Zoom.
During this occasion, second-generation children aged 15 to 17 formed the Chanyan team. Like pure waters filled with faith, love, and absolute obedience to our True Parents, they practiced daily for this event. Their efforts helped establish a spiritual environment to cleanse participants of evil spirits.
Rev. Seong Nam Kim, with support from the CheonBo staff, alongside translator Kojin Wtanabe Nichely and Mr. David Pereyra Aguilar, shared messages expressing the True Parents’ longing to establish the Garden of Eden on Earth. The national president of the Church, Mrs. Rosmeriy Hilda Claros Caseres, urged prayers for environmental protection amid large-scale deforestation and for the well-being of countries affected by moral and economic crises. She encouraged members to lead lives of gratitude and joy, establishing conditions of devotion for a victorious entry into the Cheon Il Sanctum in Cheon Won Gun in 2025.
The blessed families expressed deep gratitude towards Heavenly Father, Mother, and the True Parents for the grace of liberating and blessing ancestors and facilitating the cleansing of individual sins through the liberation of central evil spirits. Thanks to the dedication of leaders and members during Friday vigils, previously inactive members participated, and faith and confidence were bolstered through the acquisition of more wish letters.
In this era of our True Mother, we aspire to share her heart more deeply, fostering the same yearning and intent to achieve the restoration of one-third of the population.
Reflections (Vigil)
Yoshimy Mamani – 2nd Generation:
I appreciated the atmosphere, the punctuality of the attendees, and the passion and inspiration of the pastors during prayers. The prayers and songs elevated the environment, instilling confidence. In a photo during a song video, I noticed Mother’s beautiful and sincere smile. Let’s strive to make her smile like that again. Thank you.
Sergio Vargas Gutierrez – Cheonbo Family:
Good evening. From La Paz, I felt compelled to participate in this special vigil focused on the Cheonbo branch. I deeply feel Janulpumonim’s love reflected in my family and am concerned about how I educate the children Janulpumonim entrusted to me and the blessed families in my region. I prayed for answers and strongly sensed the Father urging me to pray diligently and persevere in Cheon Shim Won, where all answers reside. Janulpumonim’s assistance was profoundly felt.
Araceli Choque – Dedicated Member:
Today felt like something dreadful was released from me, like a knot that prevented breathing. I am grateful for the prayer that heightened my awareness and allowed me to break barriers. The conference made me reflect deeply, and the most memorable experience was True Mother’s visit to Jardím. Thank you for this opportunity. I perceived Rev. Kim as having a pure visage, feeling guided by Heavenly Parents and True Parents through heart and sincerity.
Reflections (from CheonBo Workshop)
Virginia Fernández Villar – Cheonbo Family – Church of La Paz:
I am grateful to Heavenly Parents and True Parents for the existence of the wish letters and the opportunity to hold the HJ Cheonbo special seminar in Bolivia. When I was invited to the front row by Mr. David Pereyra and received the Chanyan from Rev. Seong Nam Kim, I felt immense joy and a profound liberation from evil spirits. I believe in the True Parents’ desire for us to be healthy and take care of the children entrusted to us while dedicating more public time in my mission as a tribal family. During prayer, I experienced great freedom, as tears flowed and barriers in my heart vanished. This unique seminar greatly encourages me to work with my ancestors, striving for victory for Heavenly Parents and our beloved True Mother.
Sandra Ventura – Cheonbo Family – Church of Cochabamba:
Participating today was challenging as I felt limited by illness. Despite this, my heart urged attendance, especially for the well-being of my unborn child. The chanyan sessions offered cleansing and confidence in Father and Mother’s divine support. Unlike any previous seminars, I realized areas needing improvement to draw closer to God and True Parents. These sessions allowed reflection on my relationship with my husband and family, instilling gratitude for the family God entrusted to me for personal growth.
Juana Antonia Yapu Javier – Cheonbo Family – Church of La Paz:
Good afternoon, once again expressing gratitude to Heavenly Parents and True Parents for the special HJ Cheonbo seminar. I feel love and freedom, believing in the spiritual world’s support as we fulfill responsibilities and attend such events. Through the liberation of my ancestors, I’ve received their support and care for my family. Born with a cerebral malformation, I had no physical hope, prepared to die serving God’s will. A miracle in Korea in 2017 spared me from health issues and potential stroke, thanks to ancestral liberation. I now freely communicate with them, feeling their support and encouragement.
