Only candidates who complete the application in time and qualify for True Parents matching will be able to participate in True Parents matching. Invited to participate in this matching are all Second Generation who meet the Cheon Il Guk Standard and are over 20 years of age (born before 1st March 1995). True Mother at the last Blessing asked for the age limit to be raised, therefore only candidates over 20 will be admitted to the coming matching.

(A person who has been matched by True Parents or who has been matched by their parents before may NOT participate.) b. Purity: Those who have had absolutely no girlfriend/boyfriend relationship. c.
