Excerpt from As A Peace Loving Global Citizen

"We were not a rich church. We were a poor church started by people who couldn't afford enough food to keep themselves well fed. We didn't have the fancy church buildings that other churches had, but we ate barley when others ate rice and saved our money a little at a time. We then shared that money with people who were poorer than we. Our missionaries slept in unheated rooms by laying their sleeping quilts on the bare cement floors. When meal time came, it was common for them to stave off their hunger by eating a few cooked potatoes. In every case, we did our best not to spend money on ourselves. In 1963, we used the money we had saved this way to select seventeen children and form a Seonghwa children's dance troupe called the Little Angels. Korea in those days had very little in the way of cultural performances. We had nothing to show people from other countries, let alone performances that we ourselves could watch and enjoy...."

If a few Korean Unificationists were willing to give up meals, clothes, and heat in winter, to save up money for a dance troupe to exhibit heavenly culture, let's imagine what we Unificationists living in developed countries, can do with 100s of times more wealth, food and technology?
