Australia: Cheonshimwon Special Night Vigil Prayer

Australia: Outing Service This month’s outing service occurred in a beautiful sunny day. As Sydney weather warms up, more people than usual attendend, blessed families, including three generation families, regular and new guests. As usual, the youth choir beautiful voices and songs could be heard by many people in the park, and a few stopped to listen. Rev John spoke about God as the center of the family. While the traditional BBQ was prepared by a few volunteers, the youth organized team games for all generations together. #Australia

Australia: Witnessing Workshop This workshop, prepared by Rev John, UPA and HTG missionaries had two components: overview of the witnessing pipeline and the Cham Bumo Ron lectures. The aim of the workshop was for everyone to understand and learn how to introduce True Parents’ teaching effectively, to learn the step by step witnessing process, to prepare for upcoming witnessing events and to receive witnessing resources. The missionaries worked very hard at creating 8 lectures to convey the full Cham Bumo Ron content in a clear, concise, easy to teach and easy to understand way, for anyone listening to it. During this time, all members received the link to the witnessing resources, giving everyone the opportunity to teach to their own contacts, thus being able to successfully expand our outreach activities, without relying only on the members based at the Peace Embassy. Following the workshop, already some members who had never presented DP to anyone or had not done so in a long time, were able to sit down with their guests and share the Cham Bumo Ron content. As we know, it’s by giving that we receive, and being able to share True Parents’ teaching gives members a sense of spiritual emplowerment and rebirth. #Australia

Australia: Youth Gathering On October 11, 2025, a youth gathering was held with the theme of Korean Chuseok. Missionaries served as the MC, taught Korean language class, and guided the traditional Korean games. A total of nine Blessed Second Generation youth participated in the event. After learning basic Korean, they enjoyed playing traditional games such as Tuho (arrow throwing) and jegichagi (Korean shuttlecock kicking). They also made and shared traditional Korean foods including songpyeon (rice cakes) and skewered pancakes, providing a rich experience of Korean culture. In celebration of Chuseok, this gathering offered a meaningful opportunity to introduce Korean holiday traditions to the Blessed Second Generation in Australia and to deepen heart-to-heart connections while enjoying cultural activities together. It was especially rewarding to teach the younger children Korean and to see them eventually read Korean words on their own, bringing a great sense of pride and joy. #Australia

New Zealand: Extended Youth Group Gathering Strengthens Community Bond Amon and Emi, together with the Heavenly Top Gun Missionary Team, invited BCs to participate in a weekend of fellowship and preparation for the Monthly Youth Service. On Saturday, coinciding with the first of the month, members joined the joint youth service with the Messengers of Hope youth group as part of the scheduled activities. The group convened at Parnell at 3 p.m., then proceeded together to Papatoetoe for the programme, followed by dinner back at Parnell. The evening was dedicated to sharing and concluded with Cheonshim Won Prayer. Most attendees stayed overnight, taking part in morning sports, HDH, and collaboratively preparing food for the subsequent picnic. The youth-organized picnic featured intergenerational games and an inspiring address by Amon regarding Heavenly Parent. Participants appreciated the sense of community and connection fostered by the event, as well as the pleasant weather and natural beauty, including cherry blossoms, that enhanced the day. #NewZealand

New Zealand: Interfaith Initiatives Foster a Unified Culture of One Family Under God The 2025 West Auckland Interfaith Prayers for Peace held on 18th October was a heartwarming and spiritually uplifting gathering that brought together diverse faith communities to affirm a shared commitment to peace. Attendees contributed through prayer, reflection, and cultural offerings, reinforcing the message that peace and love are central to all faith traditions. Appreciation was extended to the West Auckland Women’s Interfaith Initiative for their continued commitment to interfaith efforts, with special acknowledgment of Anna Featherstone’s leadership in coordinating the annual event. Our member Keitha Browning coordinated, and Tony and Geoffrey, members of our West home group showed their support by attending as well. The Auckland Interfaith Council also hosted a Sacred Space event at St John’s Baptist Church in Mairangi Bay, which Heavenly Top Gun Missionaries and Kenji attended last Saturday. We were deeply impressed by the church’s rich 2,000-year heritage. The vision of one family under God, which we shared during the event, was warmly received by both Catholic and interfaith attendees—many expressed excitement about participating in our upcoming Youth and Family Peace Event. Additionally, Geoffrey and I visited Ms. Gerry Smith, the Course Leader for Marriage & Family Life at the Catholic Diocese of Auckland, last Wednesday to present the idea of Youth and Family Peace Day. Our goal was to invite her and a priest to share their insights on marriage and offer blessings to event participants. During our discussion, we discovered meaningful common ground between Catholic teachings and our own values; both Gerry and Louisa, a Catholic interfaith representative, were enthusiastic about collaborating to promote these shared principles. We truly feel that spiritual forces are bringing together like-minded individuals to help us fulfill God’s purpose. #NewZealand
