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

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

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: Cheonshimwon Special Night Vigil Prayer

Australia: Witnessing Activities With the opening of the Father and Mother of Peace Exhibition last month, and with the irreplaceable input of our UPA and HTG missionaries, the witnessing spirit in Sydney was revived and there has been a steady flow of first and second generation members going to the Peace Embassy, willing to testify to the life and works of our True Parents. A few passers by who agreed to enter the Exhibition hall, ended up listening to lectures, committing to continue to study DP, and some later came to the Outing Service. A total of 53 guests visited the exhibition (October). Members who now find it much easier to witness, are very grateful for the tremendous work of our leaders and all missionaries that was behind this witnessing revival. #Australia
