Appointment of Cheon Il Guk Leaders for the Realization of a Heavenly Unified World

Greetings leaders who have honored True Parents’ wishes and have worked hard for the victorious completion of the first seven-year cosmic Canaan course and for the declaration of the settlement of Cheon Il Guk. I am Wonju McDevitt, chief of staff of True Mother’s Secretariat.

The True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind have manifested to realize Heavenly Parent’s ideal of “one human family under Heavenly Parent,” which was the ideal world intended at the time of the Creation. True Parents have lived their entire lives following the course of restoration through indemnity and have overcome numerous trials. In particular, after the Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day, during the seven-year course for the substantial settlement of Cheon Il Guk, the way to a heavenly, unified world opened through the victory of restoring more than seven nations and seven religious groups.

On the foundation of victory in the events celebrating True Parents’ centenary and their sixtieth Holy Wedding anniversary being dedicated to Heaven, True Parents proclaimed the firm settlement of Cheon Il Guk and a new seven-year course to establish a heavenly, unified Korea and a heavenly, unified world began as True Mother proclaimed Heavenly Parent’s Holy Community and dedicated the eighth anniversary of True Father’s Cosmic Seonghwa. Let us please give a loud round of applause to True Mother, expressing her glory and our gratitude for her having invested everything with her entire strength as if her life were on the line to keep her promise to Heavenly Parent and to True Father. [Applause] Thank you.

Beloved Cheon Il Guk Leaders, during the special gathering celebrating the sixtieth Holy Wedding anniversary, True Mother announced the beginning of a new seven-year course for the realization of a heavenly, unified Korea and the establishment of a heavenly, unified world as she gave us the precious name “Heavenly Parent’s Holy Community.” Then, during the celebrations, True Mother promoted Young-ho Yoon as director-general of the FFWPU International Headquarters (also known as the Cheon Jeong Gung Headquarters) and declared that all should become one with him so all organizations can move smoothly ahead. Director-General Yoon has attended True Mother for years and has striven for the substantial settlement of Cheon Il Guk. True Mother values this aspect of Dr. Yoon and gave him the mission as director-general. Dr. Yoon has honored True Mother’s teachings, and with an unchanging heart has ceaselessly sought to fulfill Heaven’s will. True Mother will bestow a letter of appointment on Director-General Yoon here today, so he can continue to march forward for Heaven’s will. He always first thinks of the difficult situation within and without the church and has worked silently, even declining an

appointment ceremony. Let us give a warm round of applause to Director-General Yoon who has honored True Mother’s blessing in his precious position and has given his entire heart and soul for the substantial settlement of Cheon Il Guk.

Respected Cheon Il Guk leaders and blessed families! We are standing at the starting point of a new providential goal. True Mother has begun a new seven-year course and urged all Cheon Il Guk leaders, CheonBo families and other blessed families to unite with True Parents and march forward to convey Heavenly Parent’s will and the truth of True Parents’ manifestation to restore at least one-third of humankind by the time we greet the sixtieth Heavenly Parent’s Day in 2027. To do this, during the victory celebration on October 11, True Mother gave directives for the restructuring of Cheon Il Guk and the reassignment of personnel for the realization of a heavenly, unified Korea and the establishment of a heavenly, unified world through the victory in the second seven-year cosmic Canaan course.

In particular, True Mother wishes to dedicate Cheonwon Gung by 2023, to build a foundation for the Cheoneuiwon, beginning with the Cheon Jeong Won based on the foundation of the Cheon Il Guk Cheonbeob [heavenly law]. True Mother wishes for the realization of the original world in which the ideals of freedom, peace, unity and happiness live and breathe, in which all the citizens of Cheon Il Guk unite centered on True Parents by building a solid foundation for the Cheon Il Guk Constitution and the Cheoneuiwon, the legislative body of Cheon Il Guk. Through the great love and blessings of True Parents, we are making a new beginning. I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the co-chairs of Cheoneuiwon: Rev. Gi-seong Lee, Rev. Eiji Tokuno, Rev. Ki-hoon Kim, Rev. Bakary Camara, Rev. Kathy Rigney, Rev. Katsumi Otsuka, Rev. Chang-shik Yang and Rev. Robert Kittel. Wonju Jeong McDevitt and Young Ho Yoon I sincerely hope the newly appointed regional chairs of Cheoneuiwon, who have received True Parents order, will understand True Parents’ deep will and with the cooperation of the first-, second-, and third-generation leaders, will give their entire hearts and souls for regional restoration and the cultivation of future Cheon Il Guk leaders. Please do your utmost in your crucial mission to build a solid foundation for Cheon Il Guk by creating the customs, rules and standards so all citizens of Cheon Il Guk can inherit the substantial word that True Parents have shown us throughout their entire lives. Your devotions and hard work will become the light and salt, so Cheon Il Guk can become an ideal world of eternal boundless prosperity through the word, principles and true love. I would like to offer gratitude and glory to Heavenly Parent and True Parents for allowing this precious time. I pray Heavenly Parent’s great blessings and love will always be with the Cheon Il Guk leaders and blessed families who always offer devotions and hard work united with True Parents. Thank you.
