The Words of the Thaveetermaskul Family

Pioneering Tribal Messiahship in Thailand

Lek Thaveetermsakul
January 2013

One couple in Thailand has turned a pioneering tribal messiah mission in Thailand into an event in which 65 couples received the holy blessing. Dr. and Mrs. Lek Thaveetermsakul began their tribal messiah mission in 2006 in their own home, and persevered despite facing many setbacks. Although Dr. Lek was concurrently working as secretary general of UPF Thailand, he and his wife found a way to witness to hundreds of young people.

In 2008 they began a pilot project to adopt and care for high school students coming from rural areas of their country and studying in the capital city of Bangkok. They thus began the "Ideal Youth Training Program: Guiding High School Students to Healthy University Life." Through their genuine efforts to provide a moral compass and a way for innocent young people to support themselves during their university years, Dr. Lek and his wife naturally began to witness to and teach these young men and women the Principle. Gradually they learned to screen the students they invited to participate in their program so that those motivated to live a principled way of life and who would appreciate the value of such training could benefit from the project. Many young people from good family backgrounds began to live with Dr. Lek and his wife and gradually as their home became too small new houses for the expanding numbers of students were acquired.

It was these students, the members of what was by now known as the Seri Tribal Messiah Center, who called their parents and relatives, visited them and showed them a video introducing the ideas of UPF and the Interfaith Peace Blessing Festival, and invited them to come and participate in the December 2 Blessing Festival. The parents and other relatives had gained a natural trust of our movement. They could see how their children had improved under its guidance and how they had gained a vision to succeed in their future life and family.

The day prior to the Blessing Ceremony, participants received lectures on the Ideal of Life, the Family as the Gateway to Heaven, and the Origin of Conflict and Restoration through the Holy Blessing Ceremony. Participants were moved in their hearts each family received the gift of Father's autobiography, which was published in Thai last year. Everyone was thus well prepared for the following day's Interfaith Peace Blessing Ceremony.
