10:00 A.M. SESSION

The Conference began at the University of Portland, Center for Continuing Education, where Father addressed those in attendance. He urged the leaders to push on harder now that we are ending the three year course in America. We must not retreat, but be determined to win. In order to do so, Father explained that we must pay the indenmity price for success, winning back the sovereignty from Satan. We must be steadfast and united in the recent wake of persecution from Christian churches. Father said that no matter how much trouble the churches cause in America, we will never experience the extent of persecution which the Korean movement suffered. In the future, our main opposition will come from the Conununists.

Eventually, Father plans to have three International One World Crusade teams travel to different countries. He said that the power to succeed in our missions will come from uniting with the True Parents.

Again and again, Father stressed how important it is that each member take seriously the 1 - 1 - 1 goal. We have to believe it is reachable, then we can succeed.

For these three years, Father is setting the pattern for us to follow. Then he will stay behind and let us be in the forefront. He will let us finish the job.

Next, the Madison Square Garden speech was discussed. Father said that the final ph~se of the Day of Hope tour, the eight city tour is a battle that God has been waiting for over 6,000 years. Each International OWC team will be responsible for filling 2,500 seats in Madison Square Garden. Each state will also have an allocation of seats.

Then, the organization.of the 10 regions was announced:
