Family Federation for World Peace and Unification(Hereafter referred to as Family Federation) held Dr. Hak Ja Han’s Japan Speaking Tour Welcoming Rally at Cheongshim Peace World Center in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province at 10:30 AM on the 27th (Sunday) with a crowd of 20,000 people. 40 imams from the Middle East and about 3,000 church members from Japan and other countries joined the rally.
This event was held to celebrate the successful Japan speaking tour by Dr. Han, who visited Japan for the first time after the 1st Memorial Service for Reverend Sun Myung Moon to commemorate the 55th anniversary of Japanese mission. President Han successfully completed the speaking tour that was held in 5 large cities in Japan and attracted about 40,000 people starting with Hokkaido Rally in Sapporo on October 14th, and continued with Metropolitan Area Rally in Saitama on the 16th, Central Area Rally in Nagoya on the 16th, Jousinezu Rally in Nagano on the 20th, and Western Japan Rally in Kobe on the 22nd.
On this day, Dr. Hak Ja Han emphasized, "Korea’s calling of becoming Father Nation is very important. After creating the ancestors of humans, Adam and Eve, God gave them a responsibility. The responsibility was to wait until the time comes. But they did not fulfill their responsibility and they were expelled from the Garden of Eden. If you do not fulfill your responsibility, you are relieved of the responsibility. 1st Israel and 2nd Israel did not fulfill their responsibilities. Korea was blessed as the 3rd Israel. Blessing is a position given when you fulfill Heaven’s responsibility. We appointed a second generation leader, Kyung Suk Yu as Korean President. He will be one of important leaders until we practice what we believe in by becoming one with True Parents. All of first generation, young second generation, and third generation members should fulfill their responsibilities. Korea and Japan that fulfilled their responsibilities will become one and create world peace beyond Asia. Let’s bring forward the day of victory before 2020.”
Before the ceremony, a creative dance called ‘We are one’ was performed by about 60 college students, and with the chorus called ‘The way to go, Unification march song’ by Seonghwa student choir consisting of about 120 second generation and third generation middle and high school students, all generations made a resolution to achieve Vision 2020.
On the 26th, the event started with Kyung Suk Yu, who became Korean President for the first time as a second generation Family Federation member, as the MC. After Korean President of UPF, Jung Ro Yun led a reporting prayer, Chairman of Japanese National Blessed Families Association; Yong Cheon Song made a report on the speaking tour. Chairman Song said, "During this speaking tour, on the day before the Metropolitan Area Rally, the 26th typhoon of this year, Wipha, which was the strongest in 10 years, passed the area. However, even the typhoon couldn’t stop the rally and about 20,000 people came to the rally, which was completed like a miracle. Political leaders and dignitaries who participated in the rally said, ‘It is a miracle that the rally succeeded despite the typhoon. Unification Church members’ fearsome passion is amazing.’ People changing, that is a miracle. Through President Han’s Japanese speaking tour, Japan has changed, and it is a history of miracle" and he added "Let’s move forward strongly to achieve not only Vision 2020 but also unification of Korean peninsula and become the driving force for the creation of Cheon Il Guk by Korea, the Father Nation, and Japan, the Mother Nation, which has achieved a miracle through this speaking tour, becoming one.” After the report, a video of Japan speaking tour was played and Dr. Hak Ja Han made a speech. And the event ended with Chairman of Tongil Group, No Hi Park’s three cheers.
It was resolved to make opportunities for Korea and Japan to become one with one heart by overcoming the history and work for world peace beyond Asia through this event.
