The Words of the Jørgensen Family |
Dear Mr. [Hyo Won] Eu
April has proved to be a fruitful month for father's work here in Norway. I undertook a 21-day action to pay indemnity and to make condition for a strong foundation of the Divine Principle work in this country.
One of the conditions was to get up at 5 o'clock every morning in order to pray and study the Divine Principle before going to work, and another one was to fast every 3rd day. During this period a number of new contacts were made, and I am most happy to say, that I taught Principle nearly every night to one or two Norwegian girls.
Johanna Solberg, a 19-year old girl, has studied all the 12 chapters and left for Germany the 22nd, to experience family life in the Essen center, and to deepen her understanding of the truth.
Ranghild Tandberg, a 24-year old booking assistant with an airline, heard the conclusion today, and was deeply moved, when she recognized, how our Heavenly Father had prepared her for this great day all her life.
A big event in the "religious life" in this country, widely discussed in the press, radio and on TV, was Graham's European "crusade". It was transmitted to 8 Norwegian towns on this "Closed-circuit TV-program" form Dortmund, Germany. I am mentioning it, because the reaction seemed to be so typical for this country. Many churchmen and many laymen were absolutely upset about it and they strongly protested against using so much technique and modern technical equipment to "preach God's word". About the contents of Graham's was not much said at all, only the way of transmitting it caused so much controversy. I am hoping for the day, when our True Parents can use all this wonderful technical equipment to speak to the hearts and minds of thousands and thousands of people in many different countries on one evening, and it is my serious prayer that it will be soon. I'll try to do my best to speed up the coming of that day.
In the name of our True Parents
Ingrid Schneider [Jorgensen]
