To members in Taiwan - part 2

1. Rev. Hyung Jin Moon’s speech in Taiwan
Part 2
December 19, 2009
When I got to Korea, leaders were telling me: “You cannot witness in Korea.” When we put Japanese
leaders in to witness in Korea, the Korean members said: “Even we Korean people can’t witness in
Korea. How can Japanese people witness in Korea? That’s crazy.” They were saying that. But what
happened? We are witnessing again. Why — because, we put up the people who have the greatest
faith. Do you understand – great faith plus an organizational mind. They are not just doing it out of
their own energy, they are organizing other brothers and sisters to move together in teams to witness.
This kind of thinking – faith-based thinking – created growth again in the Unification Church.
(Speaking in Korean – switching to English) Too many languages! (laughter).
In Korea the situation has completely turned around. You know, before we used to get persecuted all
the time in Korea by the media . . . always negative articles . . . terrible, all these kinds of things. The
church in Korea did not grow for 30 years. I think I told you this yesterday. We have the statistics; we
were 16,000 members, 30 years ago; then it dropped to 12,000 members nationwide. It was terrible.
For 30 years we had negative growth, negative press. It was very bad. The whole VIP networks were
all laughing at the Unification Church. I told you yesterday what some of the VIPs told me, right? But
that situation has completely turned around. That turned around when Kook Jin Nim came to Korea in
2005. The Tong Il Group, IlHwa included, was a business group with $100 million dollars loss per
year. Do you understand how much that is? $100 million US dollars loss. This is how terrible and
unprofessional the businesses were being run. This was not just the case in Korea; also in many other
countries we had very unprofessionally run businesses. This was all subsidized by Japan.
So you think about it. Japanese brothers and sisters had to subsidize $100 million dollars for just
Korea, for that one business group. And then they did this for all the other countries like America, and
for so many others. So we had $100 million dollars a year loss in that business group when Kook Jin
Nim came in; he’s is a genius, he is an incredible leader. Within three years he turned it around — a
$100 million dollar loss to $50 million dollars profit. Do you understand? That is ridiculous. That is
incredible. Nobody can imagine such an incredible result!
Of course right now, since the group has become so successful, Christianity is angry. Korean
Christians don’t like that. So they did a couple of media programs on us the other day, about how the
Unification Church is growing too quickly. They are very worried, they say. They did a radio broadcast,
a TV broadcast. CTS is the biggest Christian channel there. “We are very worried about the
Unification Church.” They did a great marketing piece for us actually, because they told all the
Christians in Korea, “This is terrible. How can you let it happen?”
Now the Tong Il Group is turned around. The Tong Il Group is number 70 among the most powerful
business groups in Korea. It wasn’t even on the list before. Now we are up at number 70. I met two
people who were at the Yonsei University, in the MBA program. One person was in our staff, he was
the financial director. He is a young man, blessed kid, very smart, and he had outside experience at
Samsung; a very smart kid. He’ll be moving to Yeongpyeong; but he was attending Yonsei University.
That’s one of the top universities in Korea; he’s in the MBA program. He was listening to the professor
lecturing one day, when he said, “Okay, we are going to do a case study of a successful business in
Korea that turned around.” In Yonsei University, the professors started talking about the Tong Il
Group; and they said that Kook Jin Moon turned this company around. They used the Tong Il Group
as a case study for successful business-turn-around in the MBA program in Yonsei! (applause).
So we have to understand that this is real result, okay? We are not here to only talk; we want to make
real results for True Parents. Kook Jin Nim made huge results in the business groups; he is in Forbes
Magazine and all that kind of stuff. So many interviews we have done – in the last year and a half, we
have done over 120 different media articles. So I’ve done interviews on the church side; Kook Jin has
communicated with media on the business side; we have had interviews with all the top newspapers
and magazines in Korea. We are very blessed to report that not one of them was negative. Every
single one of them was positive, because we talked to them honestly.

2. We told them that our Unification Church was collapsing; that it wasn’t growing, it was stagnating. Our
faith was dying. And we told them very honestly that we changed that. We came in, and Kook Jin Nim
changed the business group. On the church side, we started implementing transparent management,
so that all the members can see where their donations go. We implemented a “decision chain” in the
decision process. All of you understand the decision chain because the World Mission Department
has a decision chain now. That is basically a program that modern businesses use. So the Chedan
started using that with Deloy Consulting, one of the biggest consulting firms in the world. They created
the decision chain process. What that is, is that they make sure that every single decision is made for
the benefit of the organization. In the past, if you were a leader you could just make a decision based
on what you wanted. That is not good. That decision has to be checked by all people in the
organization to make sure that the decision is the best for that organization. You see, professional
organizations run like this. So even on the church side, in the World Mission Department, we brought
in the decision change process. Now, even though I am the Segye Hwaejang (International President)
all the decisions are checked. I just don’t make decisions. Every decision is checked, and in the
process all the subordinate positions of responsibility have to approve those decisions. The decisions
come up the decision line and then finally they come to me, and if there is a really big decision, we
have to bring it up to Father.
With these processes we are professionalizing the way we operate our church – transparent financial
management, decision chain management, systematization, etc. These are all very important in the
modern day to run and grow this kind of world-wide organization. At the same time, these things are
being built at a professional level, the top level. As these programs become more available to the
different nations, our churches will become more professionally run. At the same time, although we
have these systems, we need new talent to run these systems, because most of us don’t know how to
run these systems. I didn’t know how to make or run these systems. I was taught. I have people
around me who are professionals in the fields of financial management and business management.
They are with us in our team. So as we have these systems, we have to bring in new professionals
who come in and work with us, and always audit us and make sure that we are always transparent as
we manage things.
But at the same time, we can’t lose faith. See, even though you have a system, if you lose faith, the
movement will not grow. So you have to have the system and professional management. That is
really important in the modern day. We are going to continue to spread it worldwide as we succeed in
different countries. We already brought it to Japan, and it’s now in Korea. America is starting to learn
about these processes. But the system is not enough on its own; it is not going to take the place of
faith. Why? Because we are a faith community. Do you understand, brothers and sisters? We are a
religion.
For many years we have been kind of saying we are not a religion. That’s not true. We ARE a religion.
I studied religion and I tell you, we ARE a religion. We have everything that a religion has. We have
scripture, we have ritual, we have ceremony, and we have theology. We have every single thing a
religion has. So we should not talk about not being a religion. We are a religion. We should be proud
of the fact that we are a religion. I’ll tell you why: because as a religion you are protected by
democratic law. You have to understand that as a religion in democratic countries we have to be
proud and state that we are a religion. Nobody can steal this right that we have, which is the freedom
of religion. This is why we have to be clear about why we are a religion.
In Japan for example, nobody can take away the right of freedom of religion. You cannot kidnap our
members and confine them, like our sister told us today. A Christian pastor did this in Japan. There
are 4,300 cases of human rights violations. The only way in this modern world that we are able to
have the protection of the law is to understand that we are a religion. We have the protection of the
law, and nobody can steal our freedom to have faith. So this is why we have to change the way we
deal with society; and also change the way we think, even in our movement.
Of course Father says that we don’t need religion in the ideal world. But also in the ideal world we
don’t need education, and we don’t need politics. We don’t need any of that. In the ideal world – in the
Garden of Eden – there was no religion, no politics, no Sun Moon University, no UPF, nothing. So that

3. argument is not good to use, that Father said there is no need for religion, no need for the Unification
Church. That’s not a smart argument if you think about it. When Father says that, he is looking at the
Garden of Eden. When you look at that there is no religion, but there is also no other organization
there as well.
So we must not be anti-religious. Actually, we have to be very strong in the fact that we are a religion.
The reason why is because we have members across the world who are being violated of their human
rights, of their freedom of religion, because of religious persecution. So for us as a movement, we
have to be very proud of our faith, proud of our religion, proud of our belief in True Parents as the
Messiah. This kind of faith is very important now. In the end, even though we are persecuted, it is only
by this kind of faith that we can overcome Communism and overcome other systems that try to
oppress religions.
Do you know the reason for the real downfall of the Communist regime in Russia? What was the
downfall? There were many factors, but do you know the real factor? Religious people started
entering into Russia, and teaching religion, and they were persecuted, but they continued to teach
their religion. Do you know why? Because Communism says that the highest authority is the state, but
the religion says no, the highest authority is not the state, the highest authority is God. You see that is
why Communism doesn’t like religion. But this is fundamentally the power that overthrows
Communism. It’s faith in a higher power than the state. Do you see what I mean? So this is why we
have to understand that the power of faith is the power that overcomes evil and falsity. The power of
faith is very important.
When we understand that, then we can understand why we have to stand up for our faith, not be
weak in our faith and not hide our faith. We have to declare our faith, because this is our human right.
This is our democratic right. Nobody can steal your faith. Nobody can force you to not believe in True
Parents. Nobody can kidnap you in Taiwan. Nobody can kidnap you and confine you and brainwash
you so that you don’t have to believe in the Unification Church. That is a violation of your human
rights. We have to be clear about that. Brothers and Sisters, do you know what I am saying? This is
very important. We are being persecuted around the world, because of our religion. So in this time we
can’t be hiding our faith, we have to be stronger with our faith.
We have to talk to the media. We had a lecture with the top media in Korea yesterday, the day before
I came here, and I told them that in Japan we have huge human rights violations perpetrated against
the Unification Church. We have over 4,300 cases of forced kidnapping and confinement. Some of
our brothers and sisters were confined for 12 years, five months, like Goto-san. They were starved,
they were tortured. One sister was raped for three months every day. The reason why they did that
was because they learned the Divine Principle, and when the Christians ministers learned the
Principle, they learned about the Fall. So by raping her they made her feel like she was such a sinner
that she cannot return back to the Unification Church, and return back to her family. This is a woman
who is married and a registered citizen of Japan, who is forced, confined and raped for three months;
and the Japanese government has done nothing about it. We have another sister who committed
suicide while she was confined for three months. And this in a court of law is murder, because the
environment was made such that she committed suicide. That is homicide in modern law.
So you have to understand, brothers and sisters, that this is not a joke. We are being persecuted
because of our faith; and we cannot hide our faith, we have to stand up for our brothers and our
sisters. As a family member, when our brothers and sisters are being murdered and persecuted
because of their faith, this is not the time to be weak in our faith. This is the time to be strong, and to
understand that we have to fight for these people’s justice. You understand what I am saying, right?
This is very important, because these people are the people who subsidize every one of our churches
around the world. Every church that you are in right now was subsidized by the Japanese movement.
That is the reality. Whether it be in Afghanistan or India, or wherever, the Japanese brothers and
sisters have been dying for us; dying for you and for me. When they are being persecuted like this, we
cannot leave them to die. We have to stand up.
This is why Kook Jin Nim, in taking responsibility for Japan based on Father’s direction, has been
working with this issue. Now there are many legal cases we are putting against the government. A lot

4. of members are now organized collectively, and we are suing the government for human rights
violations. We are also appealing to the different nations, the American civil rights committees and
organizations for human rights. Also in Korea I have already talked to the media. We are talking to the
media, and we have already contacted the Japanese Embassy. This is not a joke. This is a
humungous human rights violation. So we have to understand that all of the negative things that
people say – and they created this hate language against the Unification Church in Singapore and
Indonesia, and other nations where Unifiction Church is banned – that this is because of the lies that
have been made by people who have persecuted us. So we have to be clear about this. People who
have persecuted us and kidnapped and raped our members and murdered them are the people who
have created hate language. Many times they are Christians who have created this hate language
against the Unification Church. That hate language has become hate crimes against humanity.
When we witness, we have two ways of responding. When we witness and we meet someone who is
positive, we teach how to inherit the true love of God. That one slogan is the slogan we use to teach
the Principle very simply. If you understand “Inherit the true love of God,” you can understand the
Principle very easily. That one line is the whole Principe, if you think about it. What was the Fall? It
was inheriting, not true love, but inheriting the false love of Satan, not inheriting the true love of God.
What is the Divinity of God? It is true love. What is the purpose of creation? It is to inherit the true love
of God. Do you understand? How are we going to create the kingdom? By inheriting the true love of
God – very simple. We have created the one line slogan to teach the Principle. When you witness,
what you actually have to do is to explain the Principle in about less than one minute. And this is hard
to do because the Principle is very deep. How do you explain the Principle in less than one minute?
You explain it by: “Inherit the true love of God.” Very simple.
So if they are positive, we teach them “Inherit the true love of God” and then bring them to the Divine
Principle lectures and into the witnessing process. Then after they receive the Principle they don’t just
listen and say they want to be a member, they make a commitment; they make a donation to the
church; a donation to the world providence. Many of our new members have made a big donation to
the World Temple construction. So world providence activity is what they are called to do; not only
talking, “I am a member.” You make the commitment. If you are really going to serve the Lord, then
you make the commitment. If they are positive, we bring them that way.
If they are negative, and they say, “I heard bad things about the Unification Church, you guys are a
cult.” Then what we do is we pull out the pamphlet that shows the illegal kidnapping and confinement,
rape and even murder of our brothers and sisters in Japan – a democratic nation, the second most
powerful nation in the world.
In a DEMOCRATIC country this kind of incredible persecution of one religion has never been seen.
Only the Unification Church has been targeted to be persecuted like this. So we have to understand
that we are victims. When people speak negatively, we have to say, “No, you are very misinformed.” If
you understand the truth, and you understand the human rights abuse that is happening in Japan, and
the fact that we are now legally moving to find justice; and if you show them the evidence that we
have been persecuted, that these Christian ministers have kidnapped, confined and raped people,
citizens of a modern democratic nation, because they want to persecute the Unification Church …..
what we have found was that those people cannot say anything. We tell them that all of that negative
stuff has been made by these people who have committed crimes against humanity, human rights
crimes. Then we show them that pamphlet, and we show them the picture of Goto-san. What we
found is that negative people cannot say anything; they don’t know what to say. Because if they say
“that’s a lie” and if they say “that’s not true” then they look like they are someone who supports human
rights violations. Do you see what I mean? So they don’t want to respond that way. We found that it
totally shuts them down. We show them the incredible abuse, and it shuts them down completely.
They cannot respond, and because of that we say, “You should learn more.” Then we bring them into
the idea of Principle.
Using this method of double direct witnessing, we teach people directly that we are the Unification
Church. We don’t hide it. We don’t say “Family Federation.” We don’t put up the Family Federation
sign anymore. We already sent the memo to all of the nations from the World Mission Department,
“Take down the Family Fed sign, and put up the Unification Church sign, and put up the Unification

5. Church.” Be proud of your religion; be proud of your faith. True Father has given us direction, “Use
Tong Il Gyo.” He actually wrote in very big calligraphy, Tong Il Gyo Bok: “The fortune of the Unification
Church.” It’s an awesome, awesome blessing for the church.
You have to be proud, brothers and sisters! No more hiding your faith. We have got to be proud. We
are being violated; our human rights are being stripped. You have to be proud of your faith. Of course
in other nations, such in China, where it is banned, that’s a little different story. Each one of those
nations is a case by case basis. But in democratic nations, you have to be strong with your belief! In
democratic nations we have the right to believe, we have the right to religion.
So in this situation, the media in Korea has changed tremendously, and now we have so much
support from the media. Now, we are being recognized in the business world for being quite
successful. Now, even universities are teaching the Unification movement as a case study to look at.
Now, our church is growing again; we are back up from 12,000 members to 18,000 members within
one year after the restructuring. Donations nationwide have increased 110%. This year we have not
received even one penny from Japan subsidies – everything the Korean members have done. Do you
understand? This has not happened in 30 years.
So we want to take people out of the mentality of dependency, and move them into inter-dependency.
We can do it. We can have ownership in our movement. We can do it. Okay? That is how we move to
being responsible for the whole worldwide movement. Let’s not be dependent children, always
begging, begging. That is very childish. We don’t want that kind of future; we can’t have that kind of
future. We have to become mature adults as a movement. We can support each other, when anyone
is in trouble. Then the Unification movement will grow very strong. Okay? All these systems are being
created. They are making results, as you can actually hear from the report; making real results in real
society. These are not just “talking reports,” these are things that are really happening in society. So
when we see that turn-around in Korea, we see that people are being witnessed to; every week we
are witnessing.
When I got to Korea, leaders were telling me: “You cannot witness in Korea.” When we put Japanese
leaders in to witness in Korea, the Korean members said: “Even we Korean people can’t witness in
Korea. How can Japanese people witness in Korea? That’s crazy.” They were saying that. But what
happened? We are witnessing again. Why — because, we put up the people who have the greatest
faith. Do you understand – great faith plus an organizational mind. They are not just doing it out of
their own energy, they are organizing other brothers and sisters to move together in teams to witness.
This kind of thinking – faith-based thinking – created growth again in the Unification Church.
So don’t lose hope in your nation if the church has not been growing. That is not a problem with the
content; that’s not a problem with True Parents; it is not a problem with Heaven’s blessing. It’s a
problem with us; it is a problem with our thinking. We have shown in Korea that it is a problem in the
thinking, a problem with the faith. If our faith level is “We can’t witness in this place,” then I guarantee
you, you will not witness, and you will not grow. You have to change that faith. You have to raise that
faith. We can grow, we can change people’s lives. Yes, we can make True Parents proud in our
nation.
You see, because of our thinking and rational organizational planning, we move as an organization,
not as an individual. You move as an organization with our faith. Okay? That’s what church action
means. Ecclesia: It means a group, a gathering. Okay? So we move as a group, not as just
individuals. We elevate people who witness great. People who witness better than you, learn from
them – put them as the leader! Tell them to teach everybody how to witness. When we have this kind
of honest church culture and we are not just trying to protect our position, if somebody is better than
us, then we say, “You lead, and I will listen. Thank you.” Then this honest church culture creates real
faith; and people who really witness, who live their life of faith and are crazy about True Parents, and
witnessing and changing people’s lives, those people can shine. When those people can shine, then
our church shines. Why? Because when we elevate the faithful, True Parents shine. When we don’t
elevate the faithful, True Parents cannot shine. Do you see what I mean? So brothers and sisters, we
have to really change our thinking. Change our thinking.

6. Every one of your churches, I don’t care what nation it is, even Thailand for example, or Japan which
is a Buddhist nation – Japan has no Christian foundation, Christianity is smaller than us or it is about
the same size, it is tiny — but Japan can witness to 3, 600 people per month. It is not a problem of
whether it is a Buddhist nation or a Christian nation; that is not the problem. The problem is how we
are thinking. What is our faith level? That’s the problem; and that’s what we found was the biggest
impediment when we got to Korea to start our ministry there. The biggest problem was that the
Korean members were saying, “We can’t witness. We can’t witness. The Divine Principle is not
powerful enough in this new age. Yeah, maybe in the 70s it was powerful, but not anymore.” This was
the faith. So, of course, with that kind of faith, you can’t inspire anybody; you can’t even inspire each
other. But when you have a faith that is exciting, when you’re excited about this truth that is going to
change mankind, and you feel that power in it, and you know that you can change people’s lives, and
you go out and you talk to people and you see them change – then you start believing again. That’s
when we saw the Holy Spirit coming; that’s when we saw the blessing coming back to the Korean
church. That’s when we saw Christians converting into the Unification Church, once again after 30
years. We have Christian people now who are converting to the Unification Church! Do you
understand that? That is exciting! They are finding the returning Lord! How exciting! How exciting!
That is exciting! Do you know how exciting that is? That happens because we have faith. The
Foundation of Faith comes before what? The Foundation of Substance. We cannot make Cheon Il
Guk and the Foundation of Substance before we prepare what? The Foundation of Faith.
Brothers and sisters, I want to encourage you. Have faith! Believe and have hope! You see, if your
faith is powerful, and we are creating a culture of powerful faith in all different nations, then we cannot
stop growing. I’ll tell you why: Because God’s blessing is in our faith in the Principle, in the truth that
has been revealed. When we have excitement in our faith, and we go out to change people, and to
save people’s lives, when we go out with that excitement, then Heaven works. Do you understand?
Do you see what I mean? Do you believe?
Oh my gosh, I feel like some kind of revivalist or something. (laughter) This is so important, so exciting
for the Unificationists. We are fighting for the greatest cause in the universe. The greatest cause. It is
so exciting to be alive; to be able to witness. Every day is so exciting. We go out in the street
witnessing. It is so fun. We don’t have to be stuck in the office all day. We can be running around in
the streets talking to the people about the Messiah, bringing them into workshops, seeing them hear
the Principle; seeing them change, talking to them about the Messiah coming. That is excitement. You
feel alive. Your faith feels alive.
I tell you if you are not witnessing, your faith is not alive. You will be struggling with your faith all the
time. If you have doubt, go out and witness every day. You will have more faith. The best antidote for
struggling with your faith is witnessing. Get into the excitement of witnessing. It is so fun. It is not
boring office work. You meet people. You go out and feel the fresh air. You go and run around and
see and find whom God has prepared that day. It is so fun. Hey, maybe it is that person over there by
the bench sitting next to the subway reading a newspaper!
I met a guy who was smoking a cigarette who received the pamphlet and then signed up for a Divine
Principle course. We found Christians who converted. They were very professional people working for
SK, one of the top technology companies. They were young in their forties, in management positions.
This person was smoking and drinking; there is a lot of smoking and drinking in the business world in
Korea. In three months he stopped smoking and drinking. He is witnessing on the streets to his
friends from SK; one of his friends is in the Divine Principle workshop now.
We have seven different regions in the prefecture. Kook Jin told them, “Make them pay to listen to
Divine Principe.” What? What? What? We are teaching the Divine Principle for free and they don’t
even listen. How can we make them pay and listen? Kook Jin says, “You make them pay one
thousand dollars.’” What! What! What! Crazy! Crazy! Impossible! Kook Jin Nim!
In the number two region we have a president of a construction company, whose wife is a very devout
Buddhist. He was introduced to the Principle. This president of the construction company made the
donation of one thousand dollars to listen to Divine Principle. He owned the Principle. He accepted
the Principle. Then he made a twenty-one thousand dollar donation to the world temple. Then he had

7. more blessings from heaven; his company succeeded more and then recently, just a few days ago, he
made a fifty thousand dollar donation to the temple. This man, the president, is now witnessing to his
employees; he is bringing his high level managers into the Divine Principle lectures right now.
So don’t tell me you can’t witness. I have heard it before in the Korean church. “We can’t witness, we
can’t witness. Korean people don’t do donations.” That is baloney (nonsense). There are so many
people out there who are looking for the truth. So many people out there who want to do something
for the world, so many people who want to change history by their contribution. Our faith was the
problem. You understand?
I want to tell you this because I want to give you some hope in your nation. It is not hopeless. It is all
about faith. If we have the faith the result can come. If we have the belief and the energy and the
excitement in the Principle and in that we found the Messiah then when we go out and talk to people
about it there is an excitement there. There is incredible electricity. They don’t even know why they
are attracted to it. We know that their ancestors are moving in them. This is the substantial
resurrection chapter in the Principle. In the time of the resurrected Lord there will be a substantial
resurrection. Well, what is that? The good Christian spirits in the spirit world will come down and move
Christians; the good Buddhists will come down and move Buddhists; the good Muslims will come
down and move Muslims. It is all about who is leading those people. As Unificationists we have to
have strong faith. That is the way how we can inspire and help the good spirits that are trying to break
through. They are trying to break through just as much as we are. The problem is they are already in
the spirit world. They can see everything. So they know. In the physical world we have to have a
strong faith. I want to encourage you.
I don’t want to go too long, and I went too long yesterday. I want to encourage you, I am telling you, it
is not impossible because we are working not with men, but we are working with God. And I tell you
something. When you work alone you are a minority, When you work alone as a Unification church
member you are a minority. If you work with God and if you work for the sake of proclaiming the
Messiah then you are a majority. Do you understand? You will become the spiritual majority. When
you come forth with that spiritual confidence and you meet one person, you have millions of ancestors
behind you. You are the spiritual majority. They cannot defeat you if you go with that kind of heart to
save them. This is the kind of faith we need to find again. Because of this kind of faith, I am so proud
of the Korean Church, because they improved so much in the last year, year and a half. Really, our
members have grown so much there. I am so proud of them, so proud, I always tell them, of course
we are not at the top; we are not at the Fatherland level yet. But we have come a long way. We still
have to go to the Fatherland level to truly make a world impact. Brothers and sisters, we are not joking
when we say that we are going to make True Parents the True King of this world. We are going to
make that result. While True Parents are here we need to make the substantial Chun Il Guk.
Chun Il Guk is what? You see Chun Il Guk there – you see our mark. (pointing at flag) That is the
Chun Il Guk flag, you know what that is, that is Divine Principle. You know what that is, that is the
purpose of creation. You know what that is, that is True Parents right in there. If we don’t have that,
there is no Chun Il Guk. If we don’t have Divine Principle, I am sorry you cannot make Chun Il Guk the
Kingdom of Heaven without the Messiah. You cannot make Chun Il Guk by just gathering people.
That is called having dinner together. That is not making Chun Il Guk. Making Chun Il Guk is by faith.
Make Chun Il Guk by making believers in True Parents. When we have millions and tens of millions of
believers that shout that is the Lord, True Parents are my Lord and Savior, and then we have the King
of Kings. No King on earth can deny that incredible spiritual nation that will change the history of this
world forever. AJU!
I tell you brothers and sisters, believe it, because it is going to happen. Whether we believe it or not,
whether you believe it or not, other people will step up in faith. They will lead. It is all about our faith
level. Is our faith weak or is it strong? Most of us probably have to repent but after repentance there is
always forgiveness, there is always a new beginning. Remember, Unification Church was almost
dead; all the members. Christians even laughed at us; they said Unification Church is dead. When we
first started our ministry, Christian ministers would say, “Is the Unification Church still alive?” They
would say that. Totally dead, the church wasn’t growing, stagnating and negative growth. No hope in
everything we had done; no business was succeeding, total loss and no success; abysmal, it looked.

8. Of course we talked about how great we were succeeding but in reality we were doing terribly. Real
people in society knew this; they have a lot of connections; they have eyes and ears; they can find out
very quickly whether we are telling the truth, especially in running businesses; it is very easy to check
on businesses in the modern democratic world.
So now that they see real result being made in every field that Unification Church touches, whether it
be church, business etc, then they cannot deny the fact that Father’s foundation will remain and that
Father’s foundation will continue to shine. This is what we want to create; we want to create real
result. Nobody can deny True Parents.
This is the purpose of any one of our organizations. It is to declare and make believers and announce
that the Lord has come. That is the most important thing in all of history. All the providence has been
prepared for the Lord to come. If we understand how important that is, then any other thing is
unimportant. That is the most important thing. I really want to encourage you, have faith. Faith will set
you free. It will set you free. Because when you have faith, you don’t have to worry about what other
people think. You don’t have to worry about your reputation in society. You can be your best and you
can declare True Parents. You can glorify them, you can have a heart that is free and liberated, and
you can know that in the end you are serving the Lord with all your might. You know that when you go
into heaven, you can go in with a pure heart, with all the spiritual children you have touched, and go
before True Parents throne and bow before them with a smile on your face.
Brothers and sisters I hope we can all go before the throne of True Parents with that kind of victory.
Not in shame or in shyness that we did not declare, like Peter who denied the Messiah. Remember
the scripture in the Bible where Jesus says, “Those that deny me, I will deny them in front of the
Father in heaven.” Remember that. Do not hide True Parents, do not hide the Unification Church
identity. Don’t deny True Parents. As Unification Church members we should not deny True Parents.
We have to proclaim them. We don’t want to get in the habit of denying. We want to get in the habit of
proclaiming, affirming, telling confidently, that this is what we believe. This is the Messiah, the True
Parent; this is the hope for all humanity. If we go with that faith I absolutely know that all the prayers,
all the blood, sweat and tears are not going to be lost. We truly hope you are able to return glory to
our True Parents while they are here. This is my deep prayer for Taiwan and all the other nations that
you came from – Thailand and the Philippines and Indonesia, Beijing, China. It is all about faith now;
all about faith in the Messiah.
You really want to make Chun Il Guk by 2013? There is no other way, there is no other way then to
have faith in True Parents and testify on their behalf. If you do that I do believe we are going to lift up
a great victory for True Parents while they are here. So many brothers and sisters and new people
that God has prepared and new people that spiritual world has prepared. You will be blessed to meet
them and to bring them into your life; to have new life with them in True Parents.
One of the things I feel in witnessing is that you fall in love with True Parents. Every time you witness
to somebody, you fall in love with True Parents again. This is what I love about witnessing. It is like
endlessly falling in love. Do you understand? The more people you witness to, the more you fall in
love. I love that. It is like endless love. As long as you’re trying to save someone’s life, you feel the
value of True Parents. As long as you are praying for somebody every day, having their picture and
making the spiritual conditions, then when you see them growing it is like you are falling in love with
True Parents, too. This is why if you are not witnessing you are not having a faith life. I am telling you
it is the most exciting thing. It is so much better than sitting in your office all day. Witnessing and a
faith life is so exciting. It is like falling in love. I love it. Do you understand? It is incredible. It is like
falling in love, really. You are falling in love with True Parents, every time you bring somebody before
True Parents and that person can affirm True Parents. It is like you are falling in love with True
Parents again. This is why if we really want to keep our faith alive we need to SHARE our faith. I am
telling you it is so exciting. It is so fun.
I tell you, we are witnessing to prodigious VIPs in Korea. There were these two ladies. We first met
them spiritually; I’ll tell you how we met them. I had a dream; Hyo Jin and Heung Jin came to me in a
dream, spiritually they came to me in a dream. You know we take care of their children; not every day,
but we have a day for them. Like every week we take one of Hyo Jin’s children and one of Heung

9. Jin’s children and do their day; have dinner with them. As they don’t have a father figure, I can give
them guidance and check on them a little bit, have dinner with them. So we do this, as I do with my
children; I do Hyo Jin’s and Heung Jin’s children every week, etc. And so Hyo Jin and Heung Jin
came to me in a dream and said, “It is very nice you are taking care of the children, doing their days. I
know you are busy etc. Why you are not taking care of your sisters- in-law? How come you are not
taking care of my wife?” I said, “Oh, my God.” I said, “Hyo Jin, Heung Jin, I am a busy guy and I am
trying to take care of the children as much as I can. I do repent that I did not think about my sisters-in-
law.” That was honest. I said ok. So that day I called all of my sisters-in-law and said we are going to
do a sisters-in-law day; so I told them to be ready on Monday. “Be ready, I am going to take you
shopping.” There is a joke about shopping – if you are sad, go shopping. If shopping doesn’t make
you happy, you are in the wrong mall. Ladies, you understand that.
So that day we were out there doing a little shopping “training” with the women and I was doing deep
meditation training because shopping is very painful for me. We were there and I am trying to be
supportive; I am choosing clothes and saying “Hey, this one looks good on you, beautiful, beautiful”
We were having a good time. They were having a good time. Two ladies come in and are watching us
and they say, “Oh, you are such a good husband.” I say, “I am doing meditation training today, I am
doing shopping training.” You see, I am not complaining; no complaining, not saying, “Quickly, let’s go
home, let’s go home.” Anyway we had a good conversation with them and then we found out that this
lady sitting right in front of us is the owner of the biggest financial newspaper in Korea, the wall street
journal of Korea. They were right there and her friend is a big owner of a golf resort and a big
Christian in Korea. I had no idea. So they tell me who they are; I say, “Oh, my goodness!” So I give
them my card. They say, “You are Tongil Gyo (UC)?” They said, “My father-in-law wanted to visit
Cheong Pyeong, that temple.” I said, “Ok. I will take you there.” She called and said, “Daddy, daddy, I
met Tongil Gyo and they gave us permission to go to the peace temple!” So we brought them to the
peace temple and recently to Young Pyo and they heard Divine Principle. We spent time with them.
Prodigious ladies. These are top VIPs in Korea, but every day we are witnessing and working with
them; one of them is a devout Buddhist and the other is a very deep Christian. I never knew how to
use the instant messaging on the hand phone. I can’t write Korean very well but every day, because I
am witnessing and communicating with them, praying for them, I am using it, every day. I am telling
you, witnessing is like falling in love. Of course I have told them many times that True Father is the
Messiah. I tell them, “Aren’t you so happy that the Messiah could come to Korea?” and the Christian
lady nods. This is a Korean evangelical lady, she goes to the top church, that is the SaRang
Community Church, the church that the President of Korea attends, and one day we were supposed
to meet and I asked, “How come you did not come?” and she said, “I am in a meeting.” So we met a
couple of hours later and I said, “How come you are so busy and we can’t meet you Nunim (I call her
sister). I can’t meet you,” and she said, “I was just meeting the President’s wife, I am sorry.”
It is so fun to deal with and witness to people because you really feel alive in your faith. Really we
must not lose the excitement of witnessing. Witnessing is so fun and when we meet these people that
God totally prepared there is a spiritual connection. We did not plan to meet them in the little shop, so
they know there is some kind of spiritual thing happening. So we met with them many times and they
heard Principle and they are getting deeper in their faith.
You have to remember that when you witness you have to challenge people; you have to challenge
the person who you are witnessing to. You can’t just tell them nice things, you can’t just tell them, “Oh,
Rev Moon is so nice and Reverend Moon is such a patriot.” We have to challenge them, “Reverend
Moon is the Messiah. If you come to this meeting, he is probably going to scream at you; but that is
what the Messiah does, because he can see your soul and he can see your sin so that when he sees
you he wants to save you. That is why he will say that out of love.” When we are honest with the
people we are witnessing to, they don’t know why, but the spirit is touching them. For us it is so
exciting to be able to be running around witnessing on the street. This keeps up the energy. You know
my daily schedule is training, training, training, meeting, meeting, meeting, service, training, training,
training, meeting, meeting, meeting, service, that is every day like that. Of course I am very grateful
for that, but there are too many meetings. I want to go out and run around the street and witness; that
is fun: that is really fun. You go out and smell the nature, you smell all the people that are being
prepared. God is preparing that day someone for you to bump into. On the road to Damascus, Paul
had a revelation, just got bumped into. God has prepared ancestors for so many thousands of years

10. and you meet that one person that day. What if you say, “I don’t want to go today, I’ll just stay in my
office”: two thousand years of Jeongseong might die. That is why it is so important to put yourself out.
Just think about it. I am the world president, I don’t have to go out witnessing, running around
witnessing on the street like a crazy man. I don’t have to do that; but I don’t care about that, position
doesn’t matter to me. It is more important to feel excited about True Parents. Then I feel alive, I feel
like I am doing something for True Parents. Not just sitting in meetings and saying, “Hmm, hmmm;
yeah, good idea.” That is useless. We have to be serving True Parents. It is a fun life, yes?
I want to encourage you brothers and sisters; be excited about True Parents, be excited about your
faith; that is really when you are alive. When you can proclaim that the Messiah is here, when you can
say that to Christians and get them angry, that is fun; fun to get Christians angry. I was in a train
station and sat next to four grandmas and I said, “Hey, how are you doing?” I said, “This is Moon Sun
Myung and this is his book. I want you to read this; it is a best seller.” We wear a big yellow vest that
says Tongil Gyo, huge letters on the back, with a big unification church sign. We wear a yellow vest;
we wear a yellow hat and run around the train station. I was sitting there next to the four ladies and I
have the big yellow vest on and I say, “I am from Tongil Gyo and this is my father’s book; it is
fantastic; it is a best seller and I would love for you to read it; I want you to read it.” We went into
conversation and I said, “Did you know that Reverend Moon is the Messiah?” And these Christian
ladies, these four Christian ladies say, “How can you say that a human being is the Messiah?” I said,
“Well, Jesus was a human being, and wasn’t he the Messiah?” “Yes, he was the Messiah.” “Wasn’t
Jesus persecuted?” “Yes, he was persecuted.” “Jesus came for the mission of bringing the Kingdom?”
“Yes, that is what happened.” “Well, it is the same thing with True Parents. True Parents are people
too; but they came and are being persecuted by Christians just like you. They are persecuted but they
are here to build the kingdom. That is amazing news.” They got so angry; go away! go away! I said,
“Ladies, I love you; I am so happy we had this meeting.” I said, “Our blood pressure went up; we did
exercise, and it is very healthy. Thank you so much for having this time. God bless you. Here is my
card.”
Of course those people did not get witnessed to, but that is not the point; the point is to have fun with
your faith. Making Christians angry is okay. We do it out of love; we do it with love because we love
them. We don’t do it because we want to hurt them. We do it because we want to tell them the truth.
When I do that I feel so free. They say that the truth will set you free. I feel so free. I don’t care if you
are a Christian. Then you feel free in your faith. You don’t want to hide it. When you hide it you feel so
strange. Why do you want to hide it? This is a democratic nation; I don’t need to hide this. You feel
weird when you hide it. This is why we are so excited about witnessing. This is why, because of
witnessing, we are now reclaiming our faith. We are proving to all the people who said you cannot
witness in Korea, that Korean people are selfish and they don’t make donations to the world
providence, we prove that that is so false. Did you know that new members, these new members
have donated over seven million dollars to the world temple? New members in Korea! Korean people
said they cannot do that, they would never do that. I tell you why they never did that: Because the
leaders had no faith. That is why the leaders in society would not follow them. They won’t contribute to
that kind of faith community. But when we have faith and we are excited and we are alive and we are
so happy to find the Messiah, then somehow we are so attractive. We don’t know why we are so
attractive, why we are so handsome. I don’t know. I am not that handsome, but people say that we
are glowing and excited and running around. I like that. We have to be excited in our faith. We have to
be excited. So even though you are not a model or beautiful, so what? Your spirit is alive.
People living in this world are so tired, so drained; they have no purpose, just running around trying to
make money, no purpose. “I don’t know what I am going to do with my life.” They want to find
somebody who is alive, somebody who is excited, find someone who is testifying and running around
trying to save the world; that is so funny, such people are so exciting. Then they meet these people,
and it is so exciting and it’s moving and becoming more professional. Why should they not join?
See, I tell you why the Christian community has grown up until now. It is not because of their theology,
our theology is so much more powerful, so much more powerful. Christians cannot answer the most
fundamental, most basic questions; the fundamental question of creation, why God created things;
why He created people. What was their purpose? What is the Divinity of God? What is the Kingdom of
God? How will it be created? They cannot understand, they cannot theologically explain that. But we
have such a powerful theology. So the problem is not our theology. The problem is our faith.
Why can Christians grow? They are crazy about Jesus; they are so excited about Jesus. They want to
sing about Jesus, they want to talk about Jesus; they want to put a sticker of him on their car. They

11. have stickers on their car, “I love Jesus,” and “Jesus loves you.” They are crazy about Jesus, they
love Jesus. That is the reason that Christianity grew because they loved the Messiah, they loved the
Lord so the Holy Spirit could come and bless that. We have a stronger theology, so if on top of that we
have a stronger love for the Messiah, a stronger love for Jesus, a stronger love for the returning Lord,
stronger love for True Parents, then why cannot Christians join? They are automatically going to join
because their questions are answered in the Principle and their hearts are answered in our
community, because our faith is so strong. Our love for Jesus, our love for True Parents is so strong;
we are so excited because Jesus has returned. We are alive, we are exciting people. We are not just
sitting in an office all day, “Yes, good idea.” We are exciting people, running around and saving the
world. That is what a Unificationist is.
You see what I mean? I want to encourage you today to be an exciting Unificationist. It all comes from
your faith. When you are like that, then it is as Jesus said, “When you say to the mountain: move! then
the mountain shall move. When we have faith, all things are possible. Because, we don’t work with
men when we have faith, we are working with God. Do you understand? So we are not a minority; we
become the majority. I want to encourage you today brothers and sisters. Let us build back that faith
in the Unification Church, build back that faith in the Messiah. Let’s be excited, be a crazy man once
again, crazy people once again. That is so fun to be crazy. I love it; why do you want to be normal?
Be crazy. You got to be crazy for something in your life. You have to live for something in your life.
Live for money and a paycheck every month? That is not a fun life. You got to live and be crazy for
something. The best thing to be crazy for is to be crazy for God. Crazy for the Lord, if you are crazy
like that you will have that kind of excitement. And people, even they don’t know why, they are being
transformed. Brothers and sisters, once again, God bless and let’s return all the glory for True
Parents.
