True Mother and Hyun Jin Nim arrived in Vilnius on the morning of June 25. The main program was convened at 4 PM in the ballroom of the Crown Plaza. 400 delegates gathered. The Vice Chair of the Lithuania Association for Human Rights gave the welcoming address.

Following the Main Event, a dinner was convened with 22 invited Ambassadors for Peace. As they shared their experiences during dinner, some reflected on their relationship with our movement over the years, of the time they first met Father. Several spoke of Lithuania’s experience of family breakdown, high divorce rates, declining birth rates, and many young people with no interest in marriage. Thus, they expressed their appreciation for Father’s teaching on marriage, family, and exchange blessing, as presented by True Mother and Hyun Jin Nim.

Some of the observations were:

"We heard such a wonderful vision of the ideal family. We need to take this to our youth, even to the coffee shops and the bars. [The young people] are losing their way."

"I am so happy to be appointed an Ambassador for Peace. I want to promote strong family values and world peace."

"People today are lost. The government creates hundreds of laws, but these do not bring lasting solutions to our problems. However, Rev. Moon has created this movement centered on God’s law."

"This message and this event are the realization of the hopes that many of us have had for many, many years. We Ambassadors for Peace should take this message to the world and to the United Nations."

"To see a mother and son together, going around the world with the message is amazing. I have never seen or heard of such a thing. They are so beautiful together. I am filled with joy to see this. In today’s world young people are not related well to parents. This even is a great inspiration."

"I served in World War II and was wounded several times. I am now 83. I met Rev. Moon several years ago at a World Media Association conference. I have received so much energy today. I will try to the last day of my life to be loyal to Rev. Moon’s teaching."

"I never thought I would see the Queen of Peace. Such a great person in a small country!"
