In the near future, U.S. congregations of
the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification will “adopt”
one of 20 providential nations in a sisterhood relationship involving
material and missionary support, the News Team has learned.
After
the Joint Worship Service May 5, 2013 for the Victory of Vision 2020,
all Korean regional churches picked sisterhood nations in two
categories, i.e. “strategic nations” and “providential
nations”, according to a posting on the Tongil website.
The
assignments were based partly on the size of each Korean parish. In
each parish, a minister will organize 40 members per nation and will
build a cooperative “internal” system through prayer and
external support through donations of money, material and missionary
visits. See the sisterhood table below.
