Rev. Kamiyama was present but he did not speak.

Rev. Pak's report on his experience in Korea.

I spent 2 1/2 months in Korea. I really missed all of you. Its interesting, I am a Korean but I felt strange there. I love America and I love all of you. New York is very special because Father spent so much time here.

Father only lived in two places, Korea, Seoul and in America, New York. Of all the places in the world He lived in these two places.

I missed this meeting most of all. We are establishing a new tradition, new communities that can live in harmony. Somewhat like the Christians did after Christ resurrected. This is the substantial beginning of God centered communities. From here it will spread all over the USA and the world.

The origin of this meeting lies with Father. He always meets with leaders at breakfast. Father is an absolutely public person. He does not want to eat alone. It is really a poor situation if someone has to eat alone.

I joined the Church in 1957. I was a Jr. High School Student at the time. After the Korean war, everybody struggled so much. My family also, we were hungry and cold and had almost nothing. People were very depressed because it was such a spiritually dark time for Korea.

The only hope Koreans had was the promise of a better time centered on the Messiah that was believed to be coming to Korea to establish a new world order.

Father came with all of what Korea needed but he was distrusted, not received, persecuted and even jailed. he was thought to be the Anti Christ and many bad rumors were circulated about the movement. This is the way Father and the early missionaries started.

We could not say that we were with the Church. My wife was a High School student when she went out to pioneer with another sister, a College student. They were persecuted a lot. But gradually the movement came up, based on Father's direction of service to those who persecute you.

Father even developed farming methods to help the poor farmers. Now even some of the strongest Christians defend Father as a righteous man and the greatest Patriot Korea has ever had.

After the war, there was a string of corrupt presidents in Korea. One was even assassinated, another was sent with his wife to live in exile in a Buddhist Temple to repent for his misdeeds.

President Roh, in office now, realizes that leaders had been to strong in the past and now he over compensates and is much to loose, "Do whatever you like". There is no clear direction for the country from him and the nation is becoming more divided.

Especially laborers farmers and students are attracted to Kim Il Sung. We must educate them.

Korean people are more and more realizing that only Father is the person who can help the nation. He is the only true Patriot.

I worked in my neighborhood. One rich factory owner, a man who went to the same school with me, heard that I had come back to Korea. He went to one of our factories nearby and asked the company president there if he could set up a lunch meeting with me.

That's truly amazing, now no more persecution. People think that we are good and are seeking us out. I went with some leaders and we had a lot of very good food.

More and more people want to meet us. The rich factory owner told one of his friends who is an official in the Korean "Pentagon" that he had lunch with me. The official was so surprised, "How did you meet Rev. Pak?"

The times really are changing. I was invited by so many important people that I gained much weight. This is a happy report.

In my Hometown six Church members are running for local office. Another candidate who is not a member called me and asked me to endorse him saying that he would work much harder for me than the other's.

Father's new name is Ai Gook Cha which translates into "Man Of The Nation!"

Father has organized all of Seoul into 500 township areas which each were divided into tong ban's, neighborhoods of about 100 families. Members are going out to teach about Divine Principle, Godism and the Blessing.

Father approved a new official picture of True Parents. This should hang in every household in Korea and the USA.

We wanted peace in the gulf. But now must support president Bush. Even Japan and Korea are contributing now. Korea is going to send troops as well in the near future.

Here in America we must become the center of a new Peace

I really appreciate Rev. Kamiyama, he gave you much good guidance while I was gone.

There is much turmoil and confusion in Russia at this time. People are hungry for spiritual food and to possible solutions to their national problems. These are fertile grounds for us to sow Divine Principle.

At the Communist Indoctrination Center Konsumal (?) DP is now being taught. That's a nice switch. An ISUM (Introductory Seminar to the Unification Movement) Conference was held there which was attended by Rev. Kwak and Rev. Won Pil Kim. 140 Students and Professors came.

Rev. Kwak was the guest of honor and the recipient of a very high award in connection with the IWPC. The Dali Lama made the presentation to Rev. Kwak. Many high officials from all over the world were present. Some of those never gave Rev. Kwak the time of day in the past but now found him the guest of honor at this very elaborate, high class event.

The Dali Lama wants to spend the money he collected for receiving the Noble Peace price to create a World Peace Movement. He was offered to be an officer of the IWPC.

I taught the Bible and Marxism at a University in Tshekoslowakia. One brother set this up for me but because of some negativity from the west he was kicked out from that U three weeks before I got there.

They actually did not think that I would actual show up. When I did , nothing was prepared. I had to start from scratch and overcome much negativity. After the initial difficulties, 220 students attended my classes on regular basis.

The members in Tshek. are not used to working out in the open. They have to change their concepts and come out of the underground.

True Parents birthday is on February 20th. Please prepare for it spiritually as well as physically. Please volunteer your time to help with the preparations.

The PBS TV Station will run a one hour special on the Unification Movement which will air probably around the time of the Blessing in Korea.

The producer of Frontline, Nadler, is sending his troops out everywhere. They seem to know much of what we are doing. They may come to your offices and ask questions. It's OK to answer personal questions and Q's concerning your business. Let the Church HQ do the rest.

The pay up to $45.00 for every second of video tape if they use it on the show. If they ask you to use some footage you may have, don't give it to them for free.
