Greeting from Yasue Erikawa, World Itinerant

To general group leader, group leader and all missionaries

Cho-guk! Kwang-bok! Hae-bang!

Regretfully, many missionaries go back to Japan because of visa affairs, and after all only 94 of "500 missionaries" are in America. But members of "22200 missionaries" are increasing gradually, and now 85 missionaries are in America. I am specially grad that general leader Yagi (Washington), Egashira (New York), and Takakuwa (Boston) came back to America with their missionaries.

On Oct. 10 there was an early-morning meeting in NY region, regional director, Rev. Dong Woo Kim said, "Japanese missionaries are living Holy Spirits. So, I want that Japanese missionary and a member in America form a pair and visit churches. Pentecost happens when they visit churches together. Now there is heavenly fortune, and please let members in America take action." I think so too.

It is more important after the MFM. MFM is not a goal but a start. Please make a good plan in order not to stay no missionaries in each region and state, until members in America, elder sons, take action!

I want to run the first half of TF's words on 13th Foundation Day for the Nation of the United World in No. 93, and the second half in No. 94.

True Father's words on 13th Foundation Day for the Nation of the United World (first half)

What day is today? Foundation Day for the Nation of the United World. The Nation of the United World opened. At the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympics, we saw that participants entered together freely beyond country borders. How can we make unity between mountains and valleys? It needs peace to make unity of the world. Every country has to attain equalization. And after equalization we have to make a peaceful world. The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification has to settle down. The meaning of unification is to lead and unify.

What rules a horizontal world? A vertical axis. There is no vertical thought in America. It needs the center in a twin system to make unity. The Senate and the House of Representatives discord with each other, and Parties discord with each other. It shows that there are borders. It happens because mind and body do not make unity The pair system is necessary for existence. Without the pair system everything cannot exist. Every creature has to make relationship between subject and object. If there are no subject and no object, relationship cannot be formed. There should be the content (subject and object ) to make a give-and-take action like husband and wife, and so on. The borders should be abolished. Did God make visa?

We know that if there is no blood circulation, we die. What is eternal relationship between subject and object. The earth has existed for 4.6 billion years. Can it exist by itself? It also exists making relationships with Sun and Moon. The end of the cosmos is said to be 21 billion light years away from here. How vast it is! The cosmos exists making relationships with one another. We cannot exists without relationships. We need to make give-and-take action. If one is night, the other is day.

Clothes are the border line of the fall. Do we make love wearing clothes? There was no clothes in the Garden of Eden. Did you see that animals took off their clothes and make love? Don't you have borders absolutely? True love does not need borders absolutely. It is not true love to love with borders. You can know whether it is true love or not, when you touch it.

The axis of generator in a power plant is made of steel, but soft oil supports it. If the steel rotates without oil, a fire breaks out soon. What happens, if both bone and flesh are hard? Man (bone) and woman (flesh) make unity when there are no borders centering on true love. They completely unite into one by the power of love. A Korean song said, "I got the bone from my father, and the flesh from my mother..." Only love can make bone and flesh unite into one. You may worry about your face thinking of the flesh, but the bone makes your shape of face. When you look for something delicious, you look for minus (food and drink) for plus (your body).

All people want to become subject, don't they? Everyone wants to make his (her) mind and body be united into one centering on him (her). And in the relationship between husband and wife, everyone wants to be a center. Everyone attains half sphere to make a sphere together Convex and concave exist for this, so do not laugh hearing my speech As Mr. San Hon Lee in the spiritual world talked, husband and wife make love in front of God. There are infinite pleasure and impulse.

What wants love best? The ancestors of the human beings know fallen love, and do not know true love.

What is the present for the man who is born first in the history? It is a true woman. When man sees the woman, man wants to touch the woman. After touching, what does he do? Does he do nothing? He must be comfortable. Sisters, are you interested in men? When you see men for the first time in thousands of years, you must burn with passionate love. When woman bring man's hand to her breast, how do the man feel? Woman is the best present God gave to man. It is better than gold and diamond. Why? It is because woman can make man have son and daughter. She can connect blood lineage. Though woman, man can love his wife, and children, and he can have grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

No matter how great man is, without woman he cannot get wife, children, and grandchildren. Without woman man cannot exist. Without children man and woman cannot become parents. Children can have man and woman become parents. Without children husband and wife cannot know true love, even if they live for long time. We have to appreciate the pleasure to love grandchildren. It is an unhappy grandchild who cannot live with grandparents. Even if grandmother suffers from senile dementia, she does not forget her grandchild she loves.

Land can produce everything, but land has nothing itself. In the same way, woman has only bone, flesh and blood, and these are not hers. These are for her children and husband.

Man cannot open heaven by himself, and neither can Woman. Husband and wife also cannot open it. What can open it? Family So, there is FFWPI. Family can open the gate of heaven. When you have God's original love, everything opens for you. Sparrows marry without thinking about nationality. Only human beings have national borders. Who made them? Satan lives in borders, and keeps borders. How many borders do you have in your mind? In Chung Pyung what did we do?

Reports from each region in America

Region 14

Las Vegas/ Los Angeles
Now staying in USA: 3 missionaries
Reported by Junko Kashima

(10/6) One missionary was sent from Los Angeles to hold ALC conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sep. 15, 16. There are only 8 families in Las Vegas church, so Las Vegas church is economically difficult and the activity stops without missionaries.

At the last church on the first day when we started to visit with flags, we explained that we came from Japan. The pastor prayed with his members for our mission, and they gave us donation of $92. When members in America heard it, they felt that God blessed Las Vegas. It was good start like this.

We mobilized people for ALC giving the Family Flag. ALC on Sep. 15,16 finished successfully, mobilizing more than 140 people. The people from Mormon, Christian church, Islam, and the government etc gathered together, it was an inter-religious inter-racial conference where all participants were moved to tears.

Each leader actively mobilized many people such as 50, 25, 20,and 12 people. Participants of the seminar of university students in China helped as staffs.

2 missionaries borrowed bicycles from the leader to visit churches with the Family Flag in the hot climate of 40 degrees C, because there was no money to rent a car. After that the leader and members in America were moved with us, and they lent us a car. After the ALC meeting members in America actively visit churches.

We will hold the breakfast meeting on 10/7. The meeting will be held centering on the pastors who took part in ALC. We visit churches for mobilization every day. ∆

Now staying in USA: 5 missionaries
Reported by Taeko Yamaguchi

(9/28) Tonight the State leader's wife and 2 missionaries participated in Thursday Mass and Bible study of the church, the pastor of which accepted the flag listening to the True Family movement and the meaning of the flag. As soon as we entered a chapel, we were surprised at the Family Flag that was put in the center of the altar.

In the middle of the mass the pastor asked us, "From where did you come?" We answered, "From Unification Church." In spite of our answer his attitude toward us did not changed, and we fit in with the mass.

After the mass we explained the pastor about the flag again, and he received one more flag. At the Bible study from 7:30PM members of the church welcomed us and wanted to listen to our activities, while eating hot soup and pancakes.

One Korean elder sister gave her testimony with Holy Spirit; her 7 brothers and sisters had believed different denominations of Christianity, but she felt that religions have to unite into one. One member of the church said, "Everyone agreed with her testimony. I felt her passionate faith." The spiritual world lead her testimony. When she asked them, "If God prepares the way to unite religions into one, would you follow it?" All the people there answered, "Yes."

It was pity to finish the Bible study, but finally everyone prayed in various languages: English, Korean, and Japanese.

If these people whom God prepared before us accept TP, the restoration will move ahead fast. We all will take part in the Bible study continuously, and deepen a friendship. We want to do Hoon Dok Hae with them to testify TP.

(10/3) When we are visiting churches, we reached the church we have visited before. The church's name is Greater Mt. Camel House of Prayer Holiness Pentecostal Church. The door was open, and the pastor sat on a chair looking forward. He seemed to wait for us. We asked him, "Where is the flag?" Just after that we saw the flag put on the back wall of the chapel, and were surprised and pleased with it. He believes that Messiah will come, and said, "God is one, so human beings and languages have to become one." He also said, "I wants to visit your church." Finally he called his wife, and we 4 people prayed hand in hand.

When we talked for one hour, he said, "I want to go to Korea." We will send him Korea by all means.

(10/2) We went out with our leader and Mr. And Ms. Green to see the restaurant for the breakfast meeting. When Mr. Green called out to his neighbor in the restaurant, she was a minister by chance. The elegant minister was praying for becoming friends with another church members, when Mr Green called her. So, she accepted the flag and the invitation for the breakfast meeting. She wrote a application form for the breakfast meeting there, and paid for her and her friends. She said that she would introduce us 6 ministers, who are her friends. We were grad to meet her. ∆

Stay now: 7 missionaries
Reported by Sonomi Matsumoto

(10/1) I took part in the Sunday service of the church that Japanese missionaries visited a few times. It was the beginning of the month, and the church was full. Despite we were late for the service, we were introduced to the front row. The flag was conspicuously hung from the center of the ceiling. The pastor emphasized the importance of the family in his service explaining the meaning of the flag. After the service we had an opportunity to talk about the MFM in front of the congregation. And the pastor himself gave the paper flag recommending it.
