Auckland, New Zealand

In September, the world tour of the Inheritors of Heaven’s Love and Blessing, which had begun on June 17, 2025 (5.22 by the heavenly calendar in the 13th year of Cheon Il Guk) expanded to the Heavenly Asia-Pacific area. The recent leg of the tour focused on Oceania, including New Zealand (September 10– 1), Australia (September 12–14) and the Solomon Islands (September 15–18). The touring party of Inheritors Moon Shin-chul and Moon Shin-heung visited holy grounds in each country, met with VIPs and local members and attended various events, including the opening of an exhibition on True Parents’ life course.

New Zealand A warm welcome after an 18-hour flight

On the morning of September 9, the touring party departed from Incheon International Airport, and after a long 18-hour journey via Singapore, they arrived in Auckland, New Zealand. As the nation’s largest city, Auckland is New Zealand’s economic hub. On arrival, they were warmly welcomed at the airport by Asia-Pacific Continental Director Masaichi Hori and his wife, plus Vice Continental Director Yutaka Yamada and local members.

The group then moved to the New Zealand Headquarters Church, where they shared lunch with local leaders and key members. The official itinerary began with a status report from FFWPU New Zealand National Leader Kenji Watanabe. After the briefing about the overall situation in New Zealand and the key activities of the Family Federation, the delegation visited the Holy Ground in the Auckland Domain Park.

A gathering with the members at the Parnell Peace Embassy was the opportunity for a warm welcome and deep connection with the touring party. Some members had traveled for more than three hours to attend. During the first part of the program, Continental Director Hori and Vice Director Yamada offered warm welcoming remarks, which were followed by the cutting of a ceremonial cake. In his welcoming remarks, Rev. Hori explained that missionaries Moon Shin-chul and Moon Shin-heung had been appointed by True Mother and entrusted with encouraging and empowering the New Zealand members. The second part of the program featured a stirring cultural performance by young second-generation members. Everyone enjoyed the traditional New Zealand songs of welcome, and the enthusiastic performances from the Cook Islands and Tonga.

Human Resources Development Institute Director Park Su-hong testified to True Mother’s devotion in nurturing the Inheritors of Heaven’s Love and Blessing, and urged all blessed families to unite and open a new era of hope together. Missionary Moon Shin-chul conveyed True Mother’s love to the members, encouraging everyone to reflect on their original heart of faith and to establish a firm foundation in oneness with True Mother. Missionary Moon Shin-heung encouraged those present to build a community where all can live true to themselves, in joy and freedom. Missionary Moon Yu-me offered words of encouragement, expressing her hope that the community would grow in happiness and unity with True Parents, becoming one in heart and spirit.

The members pledged to work hand in hand with the touring party to realize the ideal of one family of humankind under our Heavenly Parent.

On the following day, the touring party met with Heavenly Top Gun missionaries working in New Zealand. After listening to the Top Gun Missionaries’ reports about the atmosphere of the New Zealand church and the challenges faced when witnessing, they discussed the future direction of the mission work. The afternoon was spent on a pilgrimage retracing True Parents’ footsteps. At the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park, which True Mother had visited in 2006, they reflected on the spirit of Prime Minister Savage, and his devotion to the people of New Zealand.

Sydney, Australia Opening of an Exhibition on True Parents’ Lives and Achievements

After departing from New Zealand, the Inheritors and the world tour party arrived in Australia late at night and spent the third day of their trip in Sydney. The largest city in Australia, Sydney boasts a harbor that is counted among the world’s most beautiful.

At the Peace Embassy, which serves as the headquarters church in Australia, the delegation listened to a briefing on the Oceania mission work. Included were updates on the flow of missionary work, key activities, and future directions for the work in each nation, reaffirming the providential significance and mission that True Parents have bestowed upon the Asia-Pacific region. The team offered encouragement to the members who are carrying forward this vision. One elder member shared a testimony of his 45-year public mission in Australia, recalling True Parents’ words on the importance of the Ocean Providence. A

second-generation youth member deeply moved the audience with a heartfelt account of experiencing True Mother’s love during the Pure Water Assembly.

In the afternoon, the group visited the holy ground at the Sydney Olympic Park, offering devotions there with local members and leaders. In the evening, they visited Sydney Bay, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, places True Mother had visited in the past, and took photos together. Australia FFWPU National Leader John Adamedes expressed his heartfelt desire to show the touring party the true essence of his country.

On September 13, the team met with Heavenly Top Gun missionaries active on the front line in Australia, and discussed concerns related to the mission field. Second-generation UPA Top Gun missionary Lee Sun-min expressed that through the tour party he felt the love of True Mother, as if Mother were personally comforting each and every person. Missionary Rie Zoza also shared that the warm attention and advice from the touring party felt like care from a trusted mentor, and gave her great comfort and encouragement. She reaffirmed her determination to create an environment in Sydney that can support True Mother, and to bring success in her mission.

The team also had the opportunity to meet with former Kiribati President Anote Tong and former New South Wales State Senator David John Clarke. Former president Tong spoke about the crisis faced by Pacific island nations due to rising sea levels, emphasizing the urgent need to address environmental issues. Senator Clarke testified to the achievements of True Parents in contributing to world peace and the end of communism, expressing his deep respect for them.

That afternoon, an exhibition on True Parents’ lives and work was officially opened at the Peace Embassy. Around 70 peace ambassadors and members viewed the panels depicting True Parents’ extraordinary lives and achievements, expressed their deep gratitude for True Parents’ work for peace, and reaffirmed their commitment to carry forward that legacy. The Australia Family Federation announced that the exhibition would be open not only to members and associates of the Unification Movement but also to guests, serving as a platform for outreach and witnessing. During the opening ceremony, Missionary Moon Shin-chul expressed heartfelt thanks to the peace ambassadors and members who have walked the providential path with True Parents. Missionary Moon Shin-heung added that the exhibition was not merely a presentation on True Parents’ lives, but a precious opportunity to testify that Heavenly Parent has been continuously working with True Father and Mother.

On September 14, a special Sunday service was held at the Headquarters Church at the Peace Embassy. Approximately 140 members attended the service, including some who had traveled more than 10 hours by car from Melbourne and Queensland. A video presentation on the delegation’s 70-day journey to date portrayed the vision and purpose of the trip. After the service, the missionaries joined the members for a meal and shared their thoughts with the second-generation youth, displaying their sincere interest and giving much encouragement.

In the afternoon, the delegation visited the Mandaean Temple, where they were warmly welcomed by the president of the Mandaean World Congress and local believers. The Inheritors delivered a message of inter-religious harmony and peace, strengthening their bond with the Mandaean faithful.

Solomon Islands Shouting out “Crown of Glory”

Upon concluding their schedule in Sydney, Australia, the touring party arrived in the Solomon Islands on September 15, via Vanuatu. Located some 3,000 kilometers from Australia, the country is made up of more than a thousand islands. At the local airport, they were met by members of the Family Federation, along with teachers and students from the local school that our movement supports. Young people dressed in traditional Solomon islands attire performed with native instruments, while members

lined the road, waving flags to greet the Inheritors and their entourage. That evening, a welcoming banquet was held at the Peace Embassy. Before the meal, second-generation youth welcomed them with the song “Way Maker,” and the twelve members of the touring party exchanged greetings with everyone.

The seventh day of the Asia-Pacific Tour brought them to Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Island, where they were welcomed by Deputy Prime Minister Frederick Kologeto. He expressed hope that the activities of the Family Federation would make a significant contribution to the Solomon Islands.

At the New Hope Academy, a truly unique scene unfolded as the delegation was enthusiastically welcomed at the school gates. Six hundred faculty and students gathered in the courtyard, greeting the team with loud applause and cheers, and the students performed a traditional dance. During the welcoming ceremony, students passionately sang the Cheon Il Guk anthem and shouted the school slogan “Crown of Glory.” The delegation then cut a ceremonial cake in front of a new classroom building, built thanks to True Mother’s support, and prayed that it would grow into a cradle of education aligned with Heaven’s Will.

That evening, a gathering was held with more than 170 members in attendance. The members’ welcome grew even warmer when the Inheritors and their delegation appeared in traditional Solomon Islands attire they had received from the local church. After a grace-filled praise offering by the One Heart Choir, Continental Director Hori delivered welcoming remarks and Human Resources Development Institute Director Park Su-hong introduced the Inheritors.

Missionary Moon Shin-chul emphasized, “As we exchange love and build unity as true brothers and sisters, we are building the nation of Cheon Il Guk.” Missionary Moon Shin-heung shared his hope that as a young and pure nation, the Solomon Islands would offer hope and vitality to the world. Missionary Moon Yu-me further encouraged everyone to become members who can draw closer to Heavenly Parent and True Parents.

Daiki Okimura, a second-generation Top Gun missionary from Heavenly Japan, shared in his reflection that the Inheritors, who had received the providential baton from True Parents, were carrying a great burden and responsibility. He pledged to honor them by living a life of absolute faith. Missionary Hiroki Kitagawa expressed how much love he had felt from True Mother’s message to the members around the

world, telling us not to worry, and pledged to walk this path with faith.

Heavy rain was falling as the final day (September 17) of the Heavenly Asia-Pacific Oceania tour began. The touring party visited the witnessing center where 16 people, including Japanese Top Gun missionaries and local youth leaders, live and work together, despite limited space. The touring group shared their journeys of faith and mission experiences, and reaffirmed their commitment to move forward together.

The Heavenly Asia-Pacific Oceania tour, which began in New Zealand on September 10, concluded in the Solomon Islands on September 18. At each stop along the way, the Inheritors expressed love and gratitude to the local members and spent time sharing with them about faith and missionary work. Leading figures in each country paid tribute to True Parents’ achievements toward building a world of peace and to the ongoing activities of the Family Federation. The Inheritors and their team, who had felt the great love of Heavenly Parent and True Parents during the tour, pledged to fulfill their mission as true sons and daughters.

Speech by Missionary Moon Shin-chul at the New Zealand Headquarters Church in Auckland during the September 2025 Heavenly Asia-Pacific Tour

About a week before we left Korea, True Mother called the touring team. She told us not to worry about the situation, that everything would be okay. She said we should share this reassurance with the members as well: that it’s all going to be okay, and there is no need to worry. She also emphasized that we must express our gratitude to the members and especially to the missionaries who remain in their missions, protecting their mission field, because they are the pillars upholding things where we are now.

At the end of her message, Mother said something I did not expect. She told us that we should also go out and talk about protecting the environment. This felt sudden to me. In a time when there are so many other urgent issues, she still said that we should tell the members that we need to protect the Earth and protect the environment. This really made me reflect deeply. On the nine-hour plane ride here, I could hardly sleep. I normally look kind of tired, but today I probably look even more tired because I slept only two hours – as I kept reflecting upon that last part.

“Why, at this time, is True Mother emphasizing the environment?” Of course, we all know it is important. But when I thought back on what True Mother has spoken about since Father’s Seonghwa, I realized something. She has spoken often about the Only Begotten Daughter, about the position that represents the motherly side of Heavenly Parent. But she also speaks a lot about the present time, and about the physical world. “We must witness. We must protect the environment.” I could have just taken these words as they were, thinking, “Yes, this is our mission.” But I wanted to think more deeply about why she said this. I came to the conclusion that it is because she loves us, her children. Even though True Mother’s remaining time on Earth is shorter than the years she has already lived, she is thinking about her children and what will happen after she passes into the spirit world.

Until now, I have never really thought much about heaven. In our faith, heaven is not the final goal. We talk about building heaven on Earth. I simply believed that if I lived a good life, I would go to heaven after I die and be happy. But now I see it differently. Heaven is not simply a place. It is not about entering through some heaven’s gates. Rather, heaven is something within our hearts, something we build here in the physical world.

Welcoming the Inheritors of Heaven’s Love and Blessing to New Zealand September 10, 2025

This led me to think about what we truly value on this earth. Society tells us a $3,000 Chanel bag is valuable. But would owning that bag make me happy? Maybe for a moment. But what would make me really happy? And I come to realize that the most important things come from the emotions we feel through our connections with people who are important to us. Any parent knows that a drawing or a letter from a young child, something as simple as a picture of clasped hands or “I love you,” brings them much more joy than a $3,000 Chanel bag. That is why “One Family Under God” is the key to heaven.

Happiness is found in love, in even the smallest actions of those we care about. If we can extend that heart to all our brothers and sisters, to everyone in this world - then no matter where we are, what we wear, or what we eat, we can feel joy. Heaven begins in our hearts. It begins with gratitude for what we already have. This made me reflect: Am I really living like this? Am I treating people around me with this kind of love and understanding? And does our movement reflect this? Sometimes, yes. But are we really striving for it? When we speak of heaven on earth, do we have a clear image of what that means and how to build it?

I believe it starts with small changes in our hearts. If I can feel grateful to the cleaning lady, not just because it is her paid job, but simply grateful that she cleans, then I change. True Mother knows how difficult it is to transform society, especially in a capitalistic world where everything has a price. But this is why she is urgent. This is why she says we must witness, why we must protect the Earth, why we must build the foundation now, while she is still here. She wants to help us reach that goal while she can.

History shows us how Christians have fought over even the smallest things. True Mother knows this, and this is why she clings to life with such determination. It is not because living longer is easy or joyful for her. Her health is not as it once was. If I were in her position, would I want to live sixteen more years on a strict diet and schedule? Probably not. But she endures because of us. True Mother chooses to live another day not for herself, but for us, because she loves us and wants to be with us as we walk this path. That is the heart I hope can be conveyed to all members of Oceania, even those far away who may not see her closely.

This is really my message: to reflect on why True Mother continues to live for us, to reflect on why we chose this path in the Unification Movement, and to strive to grow together, so that while True Mother is here we can build the foundation not only for her, but for ourselves and for the generations to come.

Even though it might not have been perfectly organized, I hope I conveyed at least a small part of what I feel is True Mother’s heart for us.

Thank you very much.

Speech by Missionary Moon Shin-heung delivered to the members at the Peace Embassy in Sydney, Australia during the recent Heavenly Asia-Pacific Tour

Good morning, beloved brothers and sisters. It’s been a year since I started my mission, and part of that time was spent in Los Angeles. That journey has been wild, full of hope, but also full of loneliness. Every day I would go out on the streets, dressed nicely as a missionary, wanting to share the word of God. But it always felt a bit strange, because while I dressed up to represent God, the people around me would be half-naked. I felt out of place.

When I approached people, they often rejected me once they realized I was a believer in God. That was difficult. But through those experiences, I also learned not to judge people by their outward appearance. At first I felt I was going out alone. Yes, I had a brother witnessing with me, but I still felt lonely.

Over time, though, as I grew used to the environment and tried with all my heart to really understand the people I was meeting, I realized something. No matter their race or how they looked, many of them were lonely too, searching for a family. Through that, I understood that God was telling me something: everyone needs a home to go to.

When I speak of “home,” I don’t just mean a comfortable bed where I can scroll on my phone. I mean a place where I feel the warmth of another person who sees me for who I truly am and loves me, maybe for no reason at all.

On that journey, I asked myself: where can I find such a home? I realized that, in some ways, the church should be that home, because we are all God’s children, and the message we share is love. But in reality, it often doesn’t feel that way. During church services, people are quiet. I don’t see many smiles or hear “I love you.” Even as part of the worship team, I often felt something was missing.

Then I remembered Jesus’ words in the Bible. In Matthew and Mark, it says that when children tried to approach him, the disciples stopped them. But Jesus said: “Let them come, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

I also thought of True Mother’s words about Pure Water. She often speaks of the next generation, of youth, not because she excludes the first generation, but because she is urging all of us to become like children. That is how we begin to build the kingdom of heaven.

Let me share why I believe this so deeply. When I come home after a long and sometimes draining tour, meeting many serious faces and hearing many worries, I open the door, and the first thing I see is my daughter running toward me. At first I thought she was coming for me, but really, she just wanted to see what was in my suitcase!

But to me, it wasn’t sad. It brought me joy just to see her running, smiling, and tapping on my suitcase, with my younger son following behind. That moment, to me, is heaven.

I believe children are more than angels, they show us what heaven really is. Their emotions are pure and

unfiltered. One moment my daughter is crying in her mother’s arms, and the next moment she is laughing. It amazes me how quickly her heart moves. Even something as simple as convincing her to go to the toilet becomes a lesson. She resists, I try different approaches, sometimes strict, sometimes playful, and eventually she laughs and runs off. It’s tiring as a parent, but also joyful. That, too, is heaven.

Out in the world, I face worries and pressures. But at home, when I look at my children, I feel heaven in their genuine hearts and purity.

I think this is also what True Mother wishes for us: that all people, all religions, can unite and embrace the heart of a mother, becoming like children. Sometimes serious, sometimes joyful, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, but always pure.

When I came to Australia, I was curious how this “house” would feel. On stage, I saw the youth jumping and dancing, while others stayed quiet and shy. That’s okay. But I want us to remember: if we truly wish to grow and change the world, we must be like children. Everyone loves children.

With the Australian members after the special Sunday Worship at the Peace Embassy September 14, 2025

Imagine a room filled with Daniels, all laughing. Or a room full of Reverend Stones, bringing his own kind of energy. We need that diversity. We need to accept whatever emotion is present and be open to it. Because in the end, our worship is not for ourselves, it is for Heavenly Parent and True Parents.

Even if we cannot see True Parents physically, we can remember. Elders, remember the times when you danced and sang with Father. Younger ones, remember the Pure Water Assembly where we all sang and danced together. Why should that spirit only belong to those moments? We can fully experience and live that life even now.

True Mother’s real message is that we should receive the Spirit, and embrace the time when we were like children, in the embrace of our parents, crying, laughing, and being filled with joy.

In America, God gave me many experiences. One message I even wrote into a song: “You will not walk alone in the dark, for the love of God will walk with you wherever you are. So hold your head high and praise Heavenly Parent, for you are not alone.”

So, my brothers and sisters, I ask you: do not walk just for True Family. Walk for your family. Walk this path together, remembering that we are one family, and that I wish to walk with you too, for the sake of your children, and for the bigger family we are building.

Even if services are filled with children running around, I would be happy, because that joy, that purity, is heaven.

Let us grow together. Let us stay pure. And when the day comes to stand before Heavenly Parent and True Parents, let us be able to say: we enjoyed our life together. We smiled together. We cried together. And in the end, we believed in Heavenly Parent together, and we have come before You.

Aju. Thank you.
