The following is Dae Mo Nim's words during the November 11 assembly held at Kumamoto.
True Parents said, "There is no stopping. We all must move forward. The providence will start again with the spirit and physical world." Next year in January, Chung Pyung Works will celebrate its 18th anniversary but True Parents said that it will also be a new beginning for Chung Pyung Works.
True Father is working in the spirit world and physical world with True Mother. Today, at the CheongShim Peace World Center, the 'Welcoming Assembly for the Victory of True Parents as well as Unification Church Members' Service for the Victory of Foundation Day' and True Father was standing right next to True Mother. Although it was very short, True Father also stood there and bestowed words. Because they exist spiritually and physically, the providence is at its new beginning and amazing works will begin in this era.
Everybody offered so much sincere devotion during the 'Sun Myung Moon, the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, Universal Seonghwa Ceremony'. I also would like to express my deep gratitude to you. Since the beginning, you have believed in the works of Chung Pyung and now we have 440 billion absolute good spirits. You are the ones who created the environment for True Father so that he could work with the absolute good spirits in the spirit world. You are the people who offered sincere devotion to build the Cheon Jeong Gung Museum and CheongShim Peace World Center before True Father went to the spirit world. You are the ones who will serve True Parents and move the providence forward from now on. We must create the works to open the path for our descendants to live as we serve True Parents. '
Dae Mo Nim is scheduled to tour around Japan and offer sincere devotion so that Japan could serve True Parents spiritually and physically and welcome Foundation Day with victory.
