A Blessing from True Parents, Becoming a CheonBo Family

I joined and became full-time on April 14, 1982, in Manila, Philippines, while my spouse (Korean) joined later through her mother. After 6 years of being in the frontline mission in the Philippines, our couple was matched on October 30, 1988, at around 2:00 AM at McCol Factory at Yong-in and joined the Blessing Ceremony on the same day after breakfast. The interesting happened was that though we couldn’t understand each other mutually agreed to meet at 9:00 AM at the same spot where we both parted after we mutually accepted each other and discussed the details.

Just after the blessing, my spouse devoted herself as full-time assigned at Tongil-gyo Chungpa-gu church for at least 3 ½ years and was tasked to wake up early morning distributing Segye-Ilbo Newspaper. She carried along such bundles of heavy loads alone and distributed it to many houses where she was assigned. Meanwhile, I was then the National President of WCARP Philippines and Tong-Il Moo-Do Philippines, focusing to witness the youth and students. Later, elected as President of the International Peace Leadership College and became CEO and General- Manager of Il-Hwa Philippines.

My mission then expanded later to the Asia Pacific, and I am appointed as Vice-Chairman of UPF Asia Pacific and Executive Vice-President of the World Tong-Il Moo-Do Federation. We started family life in 1991, and later my spouse lived in the Philippines a year later. Our couple went through such unimaginable tremendous trials and difficulties (wilderness course as an international couple), facing challenges as a public person and at the same time taking care of family matters. What keeps us moving is our attitude toward doing public missions. Since my spouse is a Korean, she was assigned to the Philippine Church HQ started from the kitchen for many years, and later in-charged of the Finance and Filipino-Korean Blessing Couple Department. Blessed with one filial son named Seuk Joon who is now 22 years old (23 by Korean age) and a candidate for matching.

What makes our couple significantly aligned with True Mother’s wishes? We were able to accomplish our mission as CheonBo Victors and were officially awarded as CheonBo Couple on the 10th of October 2020. Though we have already accomplished our mission, we didn’t stop there, we continue aligning to the wishes of True Mother by raising up our 43 blessed core couples to become CheonBo Couples and four (4) among our 43 blessed core couples have already become CheonBo Victors and awarded as CheonBo Couples. The Blessing coming from True Parents indeed is our attitude to participate in restoring the 7.7 billion population of the world by continuously witnessing our relatives through our HTM Tribe, our neighbors, our community, and ultimately the nation and the world without ceasing until the reunification of the Korean Peninsula and the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth is finally substantially established.
