The Words of the Elias Family |
Dearest Dae Mo Nim
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful grace and blessing the Chung Pyung Providence has brought to me and my family. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel.
In 1996, for the very first time, my wife and I participated in the 40-day missionary workshop at Chung Pyung together with other 21 year missionary couples. During this workshop, everyday was more amazing than the day before, our Chanyang Sessions, singing Grace of the Holy Garden, studying the Divine Principle, walking to the top of the mountain, our 7-day fast, we were all being reborn through our True Parents grace and the sacrificial foundation of Heung Jin Nim and you.
At that time, you were working to create the Chung Pyung we know today, every day you were arranging huge stones, shaping the landscape around this blessed land. You told us about the future, you educated us, and you told us about the Chung Pyung Works and its importance. During those Chanyang Sessions, I know that some of my own German spirits and my wife's French spirits were escorted to the spiritual world to be educated by Heung Jin Nim.
After this workshop, the conjugal relationship between my wife and I improved so much, basically we stopped fighting and for this we are so very grateful. Please accept our heartfelt thanks. Also, you closed the spiritual openness of my wife, Lorette, and that helped her immensely, in fact, she became quite a new person and many things in our life became easier-jobs, finances, etc. Once again, thank you very much.
Nevertheless, I must confess that I failed in many ways to accomplish my own portion of responsibility in front of Heaven over the years. I often felt that I needed desperately to go back to Chung Pyung and recover my original motivation, enthusiasm and determination to attend Heaven but I didn't pursue this very seriously.
Finally, in August 2009, our dear missionary sisters came to stay in our home. They explained deeply, the urgent importance of the Works of liberating and blessing our ancestors as well as the importance of going to Chung Pyung to free ourselves of the shackles of resentful spirits who are possessing us and taking us away from Heavenly Father. My wife and I immediately responded by bringing our ancestor liberation and blessing up to date and we started searching for the way to go to Chung Pyung ourselves.
Finally, this August, 2010 the way opened for us to be able to go to Chung Pyung on the 6th, 7th and 8th of August together with two of our four children to attend the 2010 Summer Parent and Child Chung Pyung Special Great Works Workshop. Being missionaries in Africa since 1975, it was not easy to find the finances to get to Chung Pyung but miraculously, Heaven opened the way for us to go.
My wife and I and our children even met you as you were walking the grounds of Chung Pyung and this was such a precious moment for us as you greeted us with so much love. But the blessings did not end there; we were able to listen to our International President, Rev. Hyung Jin Nim's speech to us, receiving his guidance.
To our great surprise and everlasting gratitude, on Sunday afternoon, True Parents came and True Father spoke to us explaining the urgent and serious situation we are living in at this historical moment, with 888 days remaining before Jan. 13, 2013. This was for me, the most remarkable meeting I have ever had with our precious True Parents. Seeing True Father giving so much, at the age of 91 years, never thinking of himself, only thinking about educating and motivating us to do God's Will filled me with an enormous energy to use these remaining 888 days to fulfill the will of Heaven and change myself in the process.
Finally, I would like to conclude this testimony by explaining my experience in your special prayer room. I somehow, could understand before leaving for Chung Pyung, the need of properly preparing my heart for these 3 days at Chung Pyung, and I tried my best to have the right attitude before I ever arrived in Korea.
Also, through the explanation of these dear missionary sisters, I could understand the importance of Chung Pyung and upon entering your prayer room; I could finally truly repent for my sins, especially for not being a good father, I could weep profusely and feel deeply the amazing heart of Heavenly Father and His grace and forgiveness. I felt born anew and felt I was freed from a huge burden on my heart. During the last Chanyang Session that Sunday evening, you came directly to our group and as your eyes met the eyes of our sister, you asked her, "Africa?" and then you proceeded to help to free us from our resentful spirits yourself. We all felt Heaven visit us through your loving care.
Since these precious moments in Chung Pyung, my life has been renewed and I have been reborn. Every morning at 5 a.m. as we read the words of True Father at Hoon Dok Hae, the tears just flow from my eyes and I feel Heaven's heart like never before. I can't stop the tears from flowing, even Sunday Service has taken on a new meaning for me and I feel the burning desire to share with everyone I meet, the breaking news that the Messiah is here, that the time is now and that we all need to be reborn and come to Heaven's heart.
Our dear Dae Mo Nim, thank you so much, thank you from the depth of our hearts, thank you forever!!!
With all my heart and my best greetings
Werner Elias
