There upon arrival, the construction manager explained the progress and purpose of the Chungshim Peace World Center. For most of the members, it was there first time to see the construction site and all where impressed with the atmosphere. The construction is scheduled to finish by 2011.

After a prayer at the construction site, the members then walked towards the Chungshim International Youth Center and gathered for sports. The sports event is designed for the members be healthy and unite as one through all the activities.

The 300 or so members were divided into two teams, ‘Pyunghwa’ (Peace) and ‘Tongil’ (Unification). Before any activities, the members had to go through series of exercising routines to get relaxed for the main games.

Before the games actually started, cheer leaders were selected from both teams. The 5 brothers and 5 sisters from each team had to prove themselves through showing off their moves in front of everyone at a dance battle. Every time the teams scored points, they would cheer and scream their team names raising the team spirit. There were several activities for the members to participate and all really enjoyed the great activities.

At the end, the Pyunghwa team won, 3600 points to 2800 points and finished the day. For over 2 and half hours, the members exercised and moved around.
