‘Japanese Second Generation Assembly’ was held at the banquet hall of the New Otani Hotel’s basement in Tokyo on Tuesday Sep. 11, at 6 p.m. by the Heavenly Calendar(Oct. 15 by the Gregorian calendar), attending True Mother and True Children, Sun Jin Nim and Yeon Jin Nim, and members of True Family, In Sup Park and Yeon Ah Choi.
Approximately 90 second-generation leaders from the Japanese church and CARP were treated. They were talented people who inherited tradition shown by True Parents and the first-generation church seniors and continued to grow every day. Especially 11 out of 12 Blessed couples who had formed the early church in Japan attended.
“A shortcut to becoming rich is to do witnessing.” She emphasized the value and significance of witnessing by saying, “Being rich on earth is temporal, but the path to become eternally rich in the eternal sprit world is to do witnessing.”
She also said, “Today, by listening to the testimonies of the Japanese second-generation who hold public missions, I feel that the future of the Unification movement is bright, and we have hope.” She then explained the meaning and importance of “creation of environment,” which was the first thing she taught church members after True Father’s Seonghwa.
Another theme of her speech was about the background and the purpose of holding the “Top Gun Workshop” in Korea for second-generation leaders, parallel to the workshop given for the missionaries sent out to the world in the 1970’s.
She said the main point of the workshop was “Before you can hope to control the cosmos, you must learn to control yourself.”
Her purpose of visit on Japan this time, she explained, was to establish Japan as a nation that would accomplish its responsibility for the sake of the world and be loved and respected by the world. She encouraged them b saying the future of Japan would be very bright when Japan could establish indemnity conditions in a right way so that it can be united with Heavenly Parents and True Parents. She also said it is the Second generation, Third generation and the Blessed families of the Unification Church that hold such an important role.
She concluded her message with: “Japanese people and their leaders must realize it is a great honor and source of pride for them to have the Japanese Blessed families, second and third gens.” She emphasized that the members must make all efforts so that Japan can become a nation for the world and enjoy love and respect from the world, not only through the external success of the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020 but also with the internal victory of Vision 2020.
After True Mother’s speech, the assembly was ended with three cheers of Eog Mansei by Mr. Machuda Chouchi, Japanese present of YFWP.
