Before the Hoon Dok Hae, True Parents said, “How many have we celebrated so far? There is a meaning in the number 50. How many owners can move the 5,000 years through raising sons and daughters for 50 years? Is Korean history a few years? Is Christianity a few years? The Korean tribe is the tribe that lived for 5,000 years with God. You cannot explain them without God. How many do we have among us who can educate like this? A person who has such meaning can become the True Teacher and the Owner”, and emphasized the meaning of the True Children’s Day.

After True Parents’ words, there were songs sang where all got up to their feet and danced along with True Father. After singing the ‘Peace like the river’ President Yung-san Kim, Jardim Training Center, testified about the Brazilian Providence.

Before the reading, True Parents told the members that it is very important content and told members to listen carefully.
