We leave for Israel today and sincerely thank all our regional organizations, Blessed Central Families and especially the Women’s Federation for sacrificing and pushing to send 120 Women of Peace to the Holy Land. We sincerely ask your prayers for these women of faith who are coming from 7 former enemy nations. They will represent True Parents and will go to bring reconciliation and understanding between Christians, Muslims and Jews.
