The Australian People Expect Our Sandwich Boards

The Adelaide and Melbourne Families celebrated World’s Day together in Melbourne. Our Heavenly Father blessed this meeting. Again He showed us how to speed up the restoration of this country; always more effort and more dedication is required.

The mission in the recently established center in Adelaide is progressing and the Family members work hard to set up a firm foundation for this city. The activities are similar to the ones here in Melbourne. Adelaide presents itself with a more European atmosphere in the streets; the people are friendly and warmer in their responses. Australia is a country with hundreds of different faces and aspects; our mission is like an expedition in which we discover the soul of this last continent little by little. It is the greatest privilege to know about our Heavenly Father’s work in this age and to be called to pioneer the way for many who will follow.

At the universities, colleges, and various schools here in Melbourne, the Unified Family has received a very positive reputation; students talk about the Divine Principle and our activities. Several editors of student newspapers have agreed to publish articles about the movement and our aims. It will be another channel to spread the Word.

After many repeated processions every Friday night, the Melbourne people now expect us with our sandwich boards; it looks rather impressive-a single file marching in silence around a certain area in the city. Recently people have come into the center to hear more details.
