Let's make it so that our 2nd and 3rd generations can be proud of being church members and to be able to praise True Parents eternally. I know there will be great works since Hyo Jin brother, Heung Jin brother, and Hee Jin brother who are in the spirit world will be with us."

Then, Kook Jin Nim gave a congratulatory address.
