Master is organizing the American movement for his evangelical tour
1972-02-00 · Source: tparents.org
On 2nd week of January, 1972, our Master, Mrs. [Won Pok] Choi and myself had special trip to Bay Area, exclusively to have special consultation with Mr. Sang Ik Choi [Papasan], who returned from San Francisco, Korean Missionary Conference at Washington, D.C. on New Year’s eve and God’s Day, but still he had many things to re-adjust to the new development of our Principle Movement in United States. I had chance to spend only few days with my family while our Master stayed at San Francisco and had to accompany our Master to Washington, D.C. Only one person from Oakland and two girls from the Berkeley chapel could join special training program that is being held at New York City. Nearly 75 young men and women are from all 3 missionary groups.
From the West Coast, Edwin [Ang] sent 13, Mr. [Sang Ik] Choi [Papasan sent 15, Los Angeles center 15, Denver center 3, and the rest of them are from the East Coast. Out of 75 trainees, 50 state representatives will be produced after special training. While the rest of them will travel as evangelists, missionaries and lecturers, in mobile evangelical team bus, visiting each state, holding revival meetings, lecturing the Principle message, spending 7 days per state, then march forward to other states. Two big busses are purchased by Our Master, and 2 Korean missionaries. David S.C. Kim, Miss Kim will ride in one of two buses, making continuous evangelical trips to 50 states for 12 months. Then each state will have 2 revival meetings by 2 mobile team buses. Our Master’ s plan is to produce 150 new members in each state within this year, by establishing churches, chapels, centers, working together among state representatives, mobile bus team, and 5 blessed couple wives from the East Coast group will be working as Individual Itinerary missionaries, covering 10 each and will take care of the 50 states.
Both David S.C. Kim and Miss [Young Oon] Kim will be training bus team members and new converts from states, and meet occasionally with each other at Washington, D.C., and hold responsibility as advisors to Unification Church US Hq, letting Americans run the Principle movement by themselves. This is the way it works under new solidarity of divided missionary groups. As other group reacted to the new change, North West family must have the same reactions to the new structure, but as I gathered all information from here our Master’s intentions are not the structure or the name of the organization — Unification Church, International Re-Education Foundation and United Faith, Inc., but one in the direction and connection of each to our Masters plans so far: in other words, are they directing toward our Master’s program for United States, bringing the unity of all American families without any influence by Korean missionaries who were not united into one, a td caused division and conflicts. When looked at this way, I think that North West should fulfill the original obligations that I put a long time ago — namely finance and number of permanent members in each chapel, otherwise North West will not have any room
in the national organization. Eventually you have to turn each chapel to state representative, so that he can expand new work. Present state representatives and chapel founders should work as full time workers in order to expand the Principle work. As far as teachings of the Principle are concerned, there will be r o problem except receiving training on Chap. I, Creation, which can be heard at West Coast Training session which will be held at San Francisco for 6 days between Feb. 22, to• Feb. 27. Our Master clearly announced that all personnel in 3 groups will be definitely transferred to other places and a rotation system will be enforced and more so for those who did not fulfill their obligation in the past, and shall be replaced by new men and women from other states.
There is a possibility at the moment that some states with established churches and centers may not have new appointments, but in that case North West family state representatives should be full-time workers or full time center directors. Such is the situation, so that North West families must adjust themselves accordingly to the new situation, instead of discouragement, upsetting and unnecessary worry about the name of structure, without any tangible accomplishment and fruits for Heavenly works. I encourage all of North West family come down to San Francisco, West Coast training session and meet our Master and Mother, Mrs. [Won Pok] Choi and President [Young Hwi] Kim, before they leave on March 14, 1972 from San Francisco. You may plan to get your vacation beforehand for the invaluable occasion and learn many things, then go back to North West and do something for our Master as a new start.
Chicago family may join us at True Parents birthday on February 20, 1972, and North West family can join both training session and revival meeting, or one session in turn by rotating to exchange information. I suggest all of you come down and meet our True Parents.
Let Uncle John and my Oakland family know before hand for all arrangements. Any new developments and ideas can be discussed when we all meet at Bay Area. One thing only I know, is that I will make trip with one of 2 buses from the West Coast toward the East Coast, while Miss Kim starts from the East Coast toward the West Coast. All appointments of State Representatives, and crew of 2 mobile bus teams will be decided by drawing Heavenly lots under Master’s supervision in order to avoid individual preferences and favoritism.
In the Name of our True Parents,
David S.C. Kim
