40th Anniversary of the Yankee Stadium Rally celebrated in New York City, NY

A small group comprising of members of the local New York Unificationist community and local pastors, as well as Dr. Michael Balcomb, FFWPU USA President, and Mrs. Fumiko Balcomb, gathered at the new Yankee Stadium 6:00am on June 1. Together they read True Father’s prophetic speech “America is God’s Hope,” given 40 years ago today.

“The old Yankee Stadium is gone, the grass withers and the flowers fall, but God’s Word endures forever,” said Dr. Balcomb, quoting the book of Isaiah. Earlier this week, clergy associated with the American Clergy Leadership Conference also held a service and rally at the new stadium.

The group prayed to close the morning ceremony. They will also be participating in the God Bless America Family Festival on Sunday, June 5, where over 2000 people will come together at the Belvedere Estate in Tarrytown, NY to commemorate this historic anniversary together with True Mother.
