Rev. Chung Hwan Kwak

This is from a memo sent out on February 23, 1999

As with the victory of the Blessing of 360 million couples, the celebration of True Father’s 79th and True Mother’s 56th birthday was gracefully and splendidly held in Seoul. Being the birthday celebration held following the great success of the Blessing of 360 million couples, the preciousness and glory of our True Parents shone all the more brilliantly at this event.

The Main Pledge Ceremony was held at Hannam-dong at 7:00 am on February 21 (Jan. 6 by lunar calendar) and was attended by National Messiahs and leaders from around the world including leaders from Korea and Japan. At the morning ceremony, Father emphasized that each leader should live their life with their focus set correctly both vertically and horizontally.

After the Pledge, there was a commemorative service at the Central Training Center at 10:00 a.m. attended by more than 7,000 leaders and Korean members. Father spoke with the title, "Let’s Liberate Love Itself." Father emphasized a lot about the center of love that parents’ love is formed through children, husband’s love is formed through his wife and wife’s love is formed through her husband.

Next, the congratulatory entertainment held at the Little Angels Art Performing Center became a meaningful one that returned glory and comfort to True Parents through various programs prepared by Korea with special guest appearances from Japan, Taiwan and the USA.

The International Leaders’ Conference was held on Feb. 22nd at Hannam-dong attended by National Messiahs and leaders from Korea and Japan.
