International Itinerant Missionary Testimony to True Mother

When Mother first sent us here, I did not know the meaning or the purpose for sending us. Since we did not know, the Japanese FFWPU Headquarters briefed us on many topics and the International headquarters told us about the mission direction. However as we arrived at each church, I discovered the Japanese members’ attitude. They had the spirit of absolute faith, absolute love, absolute obedience centered on True Mother. Members told us that when we missionaries took to the stage and spoke, sometimes they felt that through us, Father had come, and at other times they felt as if Mother had come too. At one church members gave testimonies that when they saw us they saw Father’s face and other people said that Mother’s face would appear too.

One woman leader shook my hand and she later testified that my hand was soft like a woman’s and she felt that because the missionaries came as representatives of Mother, she could feel the warmth of a Mother’s hands through our hands.

Also because the Japanese headquarters and each church work centered on goals, there are times that they are overwhelmed and have difficulties. There was one woman leader who felt that she and also our movement had reached its limit, yet when she heard the messages of the missionaries, she gained the strength to overcome her limitations. She said she felt Mother’s love and realized that True Mother, who had sent the missionaries, knew the difficulties and the circumstances of our movement. Mother had sent the missionaries to give members the strength to overcome these difficult circumstances. She told us that she wanted to quickly convey Mother’s love to all the brothers and sisters who were unable to participate in the workshops.

Also today, when I heard the reflections and impressions I realized that our members’ faith has not changed in how they attend True Parents, Father, and Mother.
