Welcome Remarks:
Yeon Ah Nim:
Good afternoon brothers and sisters,Outside it is really
cold, and we are really welcoming you with a warm,
open heart in this sanctuary. We are always honored to
have you here in this sanctuary, and for those who are
joining us through the Internet, we also welcome you as
well. Welcome brothers, and welcome sisters.
Father, we thank You so much for this day that You have
blessed upon us. We pray that You may be here with us
from beginning to end; and, Father, that we may, from
this day take a new heart and determination.
And as we leave this holy sanctuary, we pray that those
blessings may continue to spread throughout the week;
not only to the people around us, but to the people that
we pray for in different countries.Father, we pray that
You will use that miraculous power, Your supernatural
grace, to be able to truly revive and allow Your promises
and dreams to come true in the lives of those blessed
families that are precious to You. Heavenly Father, we
truly are grateful for this day that You have blessed upon
us.
Interesting Story:
You know, before we begin, we always like to start with
something just a little interesting. I heard a story about a
Grandfather that during Christmas time received a
present. And that present was an MP3. Now Grand
daddy was about 80 years old, so he was having
difficulty trying to get the thing done, and so he sent for
his little grandchild, and he said "Hey, Johnny, can you
help me out a little bit?" Johnny helped him; he got on
the computer and went to that download page, and said
"Grandpa, this is how you do it. This is how you do it.
You download here, you click here, and this and that,
and this and that."And Grandpa went through the
process a couple of times and said, "Johnny, I can't
understand. Show me again." And Johnny did it again,
and again.
You know, here in Korea there is a tea shop in Insadong, that I usually buy tea at. The owner is wonderful.
She is a very exuberant lady, she's very enthusiastic.
She's always bright, she's smiling; she's just an amazing
lady. But as the world economy is slowing down, one
day she showed her desperation. When I was in there
one day, she said to me, "I don't know what I am going
to do, it's so hard to sell now-a-days. I don't know how I
am going to survive through this."
When Kook Jin Nim, myself and Sun Jin Nim, when we
meet dignitaries and reporters, CEO's of major
organizations, political leaders, they are interested in
UC, and they want to know, "What's Father Moon up to,
what's he doing nowadays?"
They would not believe that it's real. They would not
believe it has value. They would probably think that it
came from Dongdaemun or something like that.
It's the same thing with our teachings. We have been
treating DP like a Dongdaemun bag while we have
something a million times more precious than a Prada
bag or a Gucci bag. We have a DP bag! Give it up, give
it up for DP. (clapping)
You see, you've got to think about it like this. Think about
the members that joined when Father started his
ministry. Look at the people who joined! In Korea, the
people were coming out of Ehwa University, Seoul
National University, and in Japan from Waseda
University, in America from Harvard, Princeton, Yale,
Georgetown University.
