Bishop Winny Cayme in Kyushu Japan

IFA-KYUSHU REGION, May 5, 2015 The International Family Association Kyushu had the honor to welcome Bishop WINNY CAYME on her 1st visit to this region. Everyone was excited and very happy for this reunion after long years of not seeing each other. Kyushu is really far distant to Tokyo and Mie Prefecture, where there are many blessed families living closed to one another. For this reason it is undeniable fact that we always find it very difficult to gather together in one place. Considering our location and distance we most often missed many big gatherings especially if there is a leader or guest from the Philippines who come to Japan.

It is our deep desire to meet and listen to the inspiration from them but we really cant afford to bring altogether our family to Tokyo or in Mie. And literally, we could say that the international blessed family members for Kyushu have the feelings of hunger for inspiration updates about God’s providence in the entire world of FFWPU. This was the truth that was being heard during the testimonies of members before the gathering ended.

Kyushu region once again felt the greatest love of God as He sent to us her great daughter Bishop Winny. I cannot forget my great experience of having a special day meeting and listening to the lecture of Bishop Winny. She is really a great lecturer and her power to deliver the message is very strong, clear and striking.

Bishop Winny’s Lecture points: We are really grateful for her lecture that had touched our hearts. We then could easily make self evaluation how we went through to our own course of restoration. As it was explained in her lecture that upon achieving every stage of restoration we have to go back again to the very bottom and must work up again to the next stage. It is really a process of No giving up and No excuses moment in our life of faith. The detailed explanations on the significance of blessing order brings us to better understanding the realm of indemnity, and the realm of the peace settlement.

In her lecture she made a strong emphasis on the role and responsibilities of all blessed families during these remaining years before the year 2020. She started her lecture on the restoration of the three kinships. Then she articulated in explaining the significance of Blessing orders, as citizen of CIG. She explains that our ultimate mission is to witness then educate them until we can bring them to blessing. The formula for tribal mission begins from 3, 7 and 12 to 36 (my family); 72 (my relatives); 124 (my community) until I reach 430 to my networks. She also detailed the explanation of 8 vertical & horizontal restoration of heart that really brings some participants to breaks into tears. Wow! The 8 stages are really not easy to accomplish because the course for being ‘filial’ shall be vertical and horizontal. There was also an explanation on True Mother’s course. Another topic is also the Unification of North and South Korea. And the last topic is about the protection of God’s Homeland.

All the participants are deeply grateful for the lectures we have received and some of them send their reflections as attached below.

TESTIMONIES/REFLECTIONS MARIZEL SORO When Vision 2020 became the most popular headline in all the churches in Japan, Renee and I decided to invite Bishop Winny to Hiroshima to give us a deeper understanding about it. Our appeal was declined by HIFA due to some personal issues. However, I really believed in the saying that “HP (God) works in a very special way”. Though our preparation was tough, our perseverance brought it to reality..

Most of the Filipino members in Japan were rattled and excited upon hearing the forthcoming arrival of Bishop Winny. Our great Kuya Isaiah accommodated her and Wonjung to celebrate the reunion of Cabanatuan CARP members in Tokyo. IFA opened up the door for Bishop to speak over the podium of UC Tokyo Headquarter with the attendance of more than 60 international church members. I heard that the impact of her sermon brought all of them to tears and gave them the clarity about their stands and support to our True Mother.

She was warmly welcomed to Kyushu and stayed in the house of our wonderful and lovely ate Sheryll Nakashima (the ALAS) who silently worked underground with me. Without her, this event may not be possible in Kyushu. The most miraculous moment there was the attendance of the President of HIFA - Julie Hirakami and her secretary-Renee Fujimoto . They travelled with me from Hiroshima to Kyushu. It was a great opportunity to meet my 3 handsome brothers from Nueva Ecija, Kuya Adel, Mar and Ernie. It was a delightful thing to see everyone talking to Bishop Winny with heavenly crack of laughters and joy.

In retrospect, her lecture explosion in Kyushu personally gave me a kind of spiritual uplifting- satisfaction that I’ve never experienced in my entire life of faith as a UC member. It was so liberating and breath-taking. I thought her strategic approach in presenting the Ideals of the Unification Church was very useful. Her witnessing presentation slides with the indicative combination of cognitive and experiential approaches together with the impact of her ecumenical charms were simply amazing. “Those were the things lacking in the witnessing strategy here in Japan. Church members need to prototype this approach in order to bring forth more souls to the church and testify about this providential age” I could see a new hope of glory to be spiritually alive forever more. I felt like I was going to be a Bishop or Reverend …someday soon

KAMSAHAMNIDA! In conclusion, this lecture tour of Bishop WINNY in Japan about OUR PROVIDENTIAL ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS VISION 2020 brought our dead spirits back to life and gave us new inspiration to continuously serve our True parents centering on True Mother. WHAT AN AMAZING WAKE UP CALL! The whole world is waiting for you Bishop Winny to testify about the Messiah. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts! All of us here are looking forward to meeting you again. We need you in Hiroshima City! GLORY TO HP and TPs!**

REMY VILLASE-YONEYAMA First of all, I am deeply grateful to our Heavenly Parents and True Parents for giving us the chance to listen and understand the real course of history, the path our True Parents had gone through and the path we are going through right now, to the year 2020.

Since coming to Japan, 13 years ago, I have difficulties with the language. I couldn’t understand the sermons and messages of our local leader during Sunday services and other seminar activities. I had my small dictionary with me and check out the meaning of the new words that I hear from time to time. Whenever I ask my husband for the summary of the messages, he mostly answers the word “donation.”

Little by little, the internet has opened up and it’s easier to read True Parents’ current speeches and church activities worldwide. But this is not enough for “thirsty” members. I heard some topics in the first session in CP during my 2nd 40-day workshop. It’s good to hear them again through Bishop Winny. I find her lectures special and unique because she adds many significant points from the different speeches of True Parents related to the lecture material.

She has been doing this in the Philippines, where she gave precious DP lectures to the VIPs and generals. Her insightful lectures led these VIPS come back for more to listen and understand the value and visions of our True Parents. The former Continental Directors Rev. and Mrs. Pyung Hwa Kim said that Bishop Winny is a great treasure of the Philippine church. Her dedication, faith and love to True Parents are amazing and her captivating lectures.

I really thank Bishop Winny for summarizing all the significant events in history, the Pal Jung Shik: from the restoration of kingships, 8 stages of restoration, vertical and horizontal, in which she said that restoration, upon achieving the top of every stage, we must go back again to the bottom, the zero level, and work our way up to the next stage. We cannot jump from one stage to the other. Other events like the heavenly calendar, God of Day and God of Night were also given emphasis. Another point is that the restoration of the family is like a bird. It can’t fly with just one wing. So the father and the mother need to be together to restore the family.

The significance of blessing orders, divided into the realm of indemnity, global and cosmic realm is something that we have to understand and value. That the perfection level is in the realm of the peace settlement and Kingship era. Foundation Blessing that everyone has to attend to is on the highest level.

I also noticed that some lectures are geared towards True Mother’s course and her responsibilities. This topic is very timely if we consider what is going on right now in our church. After True Father’s Seonghwa, TF takes the form of the God of Night. True Mother stands as the Substantial Form of the God of Day. If this topic is shared to many members worldwide who think TM is a failure, I believe they will change their minds. Bishop Winny also included many important points of True Mother’s up-to-date speeches.

The last part of the lecture, Our Individual Course and Vision 2020 is a great topic. True Parents has given everything to us: blessings, heavenly words, how to have heartistic unity with them through our life of attendance, the requirement to have CIG nation.

All we have to do is to internally reform ourselves as God’s true children. As CIG citizens, we should form small groups for hondokhae, to witness and build our tribe and follow the will of God. If we don’t witness, we will become mute in the spirit world. We should be very wary of satan’s attack any moment and not allow ourselves to be used by satan.

Many thanks to Bishop Winny for waking us up here in Japan. As women, we have the providential roles to support our husband and the father of our children, take care of our home and our children. From here on, we can add to our main mission to witness and build our tribe here in Japan. Sometimes, we want to escape here and witness to our tribe back in the Philippines. But,

we are brought here by HP and TP through the blessing. We cannot just abandon this country to be damaged by natural calamities and the UC to decline because of many factors. As blessed members, it is our duty and responsibility to give our best to win this country for HP and TP. Somehow, we have to find a way to break through. After the lectures, I have been asking myself and praying to God how to fulfill this responsibility.

I think God answered my questions through my elder sister-in-law, who visited us last week. We had a really nice discussion. She said that WFWP may take the role to help in witnessing. The banner of the UC is not favorable here in Japan. A lot of members, for fear of being rejected and ostracized in their community and in their jobs, couldn’t disclose that they are members of UC. Even some schools are scared to deal with if they find members among their students. Through the WFWP banner, the members can do a lot of activities here and abroad. We can invite many women friends, Japanese and other nationalities without worrying about religion, customs and donations. The second generation may also be more active doing volunteer works in the local or international scene. The Japanese are very helpful and caring though they are skeptical at first. But once they understand the significance of any project helpful to the community, they give their utmost dedication. My sister-in-law came back from a week long volunteer work in New York. And now, she is happy to witness to her friends and former classmates about the vision of WFWP.

Maybe, and I hope, that through WFWP, the local church can finally give us international members some missions and trust that we can do something for Japan. WE are not just simply here as wives and mothers. God and True Parents brought us here for a reason! Most of us were fulltime members. The Filipinos, by nature, and other Asian nations love to share and gather together. This character has helped in the massive blessing ceremonies in the Philippines. Also, WFWP is directly under TM. Somehow, this is aligned to help TM. After a year or two, they can listen to the DP and join in the blessings, too. This will help achieve the Vision 2020. I am very grateful to HP and TP for these revelations and inspirations. I hope to be part of this, too. And graduate with flying colors in 2020 together with you, my beloved brothers and sisters.

I really hope that Bishop Winny can come back to Japan again. Many sisters here are hoping to listen to her lectures and guidance. May HP and TP bless her and her family.

Rowena ‘Weng’ Soriano Nakahama Very powerful and the truth we need to hold on and spread through witnessing. Thanks Ate Winny for representing True Parents.

SHERYL NAKASHIMA I’m so grateful for this very enlightening and reviving seminar esp for us who live in Japan who struggles a lot understanding the Japanese message for Vision 2020 and the task that we have to fulfill. As we can see now to much fog, confusion and division in our community but clarity of our position and stand is explained well. thank you Bishop Winny for that clear explanation to whom we have to follow and align ourselves with as we go on the way to the year 2020. ***

SYLVIA HARADA I feel grateful that i attended the lecture. Bishop WINNY revealed a lot of things. i feel she was sent by the good spirit as the mouthpiece to channel us connecting to our TM in behalf of TF. I like the way Bishop Winny explained the course of the providence. through the chart she originally made i feel i was walking along with it as she explained thoroughly. really her explanations provided with the chart help me understand my position where i stand and what to do and the direction of my thinking. the right person to follow is our TM was very clear to me. this is exactly the good thing to know. following the right person is heading us to the right direction.

i feel that those who attended the seminar received the blessing from Bishop Winny. mansei!! success!!**

ERNIE LINA First of all I would like to give thank our sisters who organized our one day lecture and to the family of ate Sheryl who accommodated all of us and to all who attended the seminar and most especially to our Bishop ate Winny Cayme who came here in Kyushu island despite her busy schedule. I was inspired once again upon hearing that lecture connecting the past history of our church to the present up to the realization of the Kingdom of Heaven which lies on the success of the vision 2020. It was emphasized also in the lecture that it depends on the fulfillment of our portion of responsibilities. Hence, witnessing of our tribe, the Cain and Abel tribe, the 430 couples is inevitable.

Ate Winny is our leader in Central Luzon region, our region became the “best” region nationwide. She was very strong and her leadership was tough too. Since then it was almost 20 years already that we havent seen each other and fortunately we have the chance to meet again. So inspired to see her without a change in her strong determination in mission ever since until now! Success to vision 2020!!!***

Julie Abeln Hirakami I came to Bishop Winny’s presentation because it had become so difficult to find the power inside myself; the power our original mind wants to give us to respond to God. Not knowing deeply about God’s and True Parents’ situation left me sometimes feeling almost like a bystander. It’s the worst feeling. So I will never forget Bishop Winny. She took us way back to Father’s early years to outline exactly what Father had to face in order to give some hope to God after Christianity failed in 1945. We saw how and where Satan has always attacked in the final moments before Father’s victories, and how True Mother fought alongside him, forming her own victorious foundation. Seeing carefully this way what has been invested (and at what price!), and what we must do to complete their work, changed my life. I’m so grateful God answered my prayer and let me attend this seminar, and am now making new foundation to bring victory to True Parents.***

Taeko Matsuo (Japan Filipino 2nd Gen) I felt I should witness to all our tribe and bring victory on Vision 2020. True Mother is not only a mother, she is also the queen of the world and the universe. True parent have always known the pain of all things and what the human beings are feeling. We are to meet the expectations of the True Mother, so always move straight forward in life of faith.

Renee Fujimoto Going to Kyushu Region was not that easy especially for us who are from other region & lacking financially. It takes time, effort & patience for a long travel by car. More than, internally we’ve gone through hills & mountains of difficulties & trials but Heavenly Parents & True Parents shown unto us that as long as we are determined & more than willing to go, God will provide everything & find ways & means to get there.

It’s almost 3 years since True Mother declared about the Vision 2020 but I have narrow knowledge about it & still unclear to me. When i listened to the lecture I received additional information & new insights towards vision 2020. Now it’s clear to me & I can visualize already what to do by doing our POR as Blessed family. Through the lecture also my spirit & faith uplifted, gained courage & more determined to Unit with True Mother in substantializing Chun Il Guk on or before year 2020!

As a wife of a Japanese, who came from the 2nd daughter nation Philippines to the Mother land Japan I came to realize what a great task & responsibility I`m carrying now in participation & in support to the Mission of the Mother nation towards Vision 2020. I need to widen my horizon, transcends barriers & challenge my limitations since we’re now part of Japan Unification Family. And the only way is to live my life as a living testimony of our True Parents & share the Blessing & the greatness of their love through witnessing & starts with our tribal messiahship mission.

Lastly through the lectures & sharing of Bishop Winny I came to realize that in this Era of God’s Providence, the nearest, dearest & best supporters of the Fatherland & closest to True Mother’s sufferings is none other than the Mother Nation Japan. So all of us Blessed families across the globe, Let us become filial & unite with our True Mother & join hands together in substantializing God’s Nation Chun Il Guk until 2020!!! God Bless Us !!!

Also my family wants to thank my dear sister Joan Haga for catching Bishop at the last minute stay in Kyushu and giving them treat too. Last but most of all my deepest gratitude to our dear sister Bishop Winny and Wonjung !!! SARANGHEYO!!’

ADEL VILLAREAL Words of Gratitude to all Of course there would never have Bishop Winny if there were no Marizel, Renee and Sheryl presence and their efforts. I was so much overwhelmed by the greatness of their hearts and sacrifices of these three great sisters. We were really indebted to you sisters because I know that it is not easy to host such event just like of what we had last May 5th.

I think all of us who were present on the event should extend a special gratitude to Isao Kun the husband of Sheryl. I’m always amazed by his humbleness and very huge heart for being so understanding and very supportive. Please allow me to mention a big thing that captured my heart most. When we began preparing the hall he provided everything that we asked. He never says NO but “I will find” was his always reply. In fact when they were setting up the projector, the connecting cable doesn’t fit to the TV and the connecting cable for pc and TV is also not available. What he did was he rushed to the shop and had bought it. Really, in time like this I never seen or feel a single complain from him. Sorry, Isao Kun for the extra burden for you on that day.

21 members came, : 3 from Hiroshima (2 Filipinos 1 American); 3 from Miyasaki (2 Filipinos 1 Japanese); 2 from Nagasaki (2 Filipinos); 5 from Fukuoka (2 Japanese 2 Filipino 1 2ndgen); 5 from Kumamoto (3 Filipinos 1 Japanese 1 Malaysian) 2 from Oita (1 Filipino 1 2ndgen); 1 from Saga (1 Filipino)… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
