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

Philippines: Meet and Greet for 1st Generation Matching Candidates Following Sunday's worship service, the Blessed Family Department (BFD) held a Meet and Greet for 1st generation matching candidates. This important event focused on guiding, encouraging, and providing support to our brothers and sisters as they prepare for the Blessing, offering valuable insights and a sense of togetherness. Mrs. Dulce and Mrs. Catherine, serving as cherished mentors and spiritual guides, honored the program with their presence. They warmly engaged with the candidates, thoughtfully listening to and understanding their heartfelt motivations for seeking the Blessing.  Mrs. Dulce lovingly reminded the attendees of the Five Key Principles in preparation of receiving the blessing and cultivating a healthy spiritual life: prayerfulness, spirituality, relationships, substantial growth, and sincerity. With genuine care, the mentors emphasized that preparing for the Blessing involves not only external preparations but, even more profoundly, internal growth—cultivating a healthy spiritual life, unwavering faith, and a willing heart to embrace God's divine plan. During the discussion, Mrs. Catherine Gregorio encouraged the participants to openly share their thoughts, particularly regarding their perspectives on receiving the Blessing in the coming year. Four dedicated individuals reaffirmed their commitment to receive the Blessing by 2026. The presence of the BFD Director from the Philippines and Asia Pacific provided reassurance and insightful guidance, helping the candidates to understand the Blessing as a sacred covenant rather than merely a personal decision. This gathering not only provided participants with invaluable guidance but also fostered a profound sense of community, assuring them that they are supported and united in their journey toward the Blessing. The Meet and Greet successfully created a nurturing environment for first-generation candidates to reflect, receive guidance, and deepen their spiritual preparation for the Blessing. It served as a powerful reminder that the path to eternal marriage is a journey of unwavering faith, heartfelt devotion, and continuous alignment with Heavenly Parent’s divine providence. #Philippines #BFD

The seminar focused on deepening their understanding of the Blessing and preparing them for the matching process, with the goal of achieving a lasting, lifetime blessing.

Mrs. Dulce Buyayo, Asia Pacific BFD Director, emphasized the value and significance of the Blessing as the first step toward embracing the future and inspired participants to join the restoration process, fulfilling God’s dream. Rev. John Gregorio, FFWPU Secretary General of the Philippine Region, provided an insightful and practical understanding of the Blessing, guiding participants on how to prepare themselves to be the right person before seeking a partner. Mrs. Cathy then oriented the participants on the matching and Blessing guidelines, outlining the steps involved in preparing to receive the Blessing. This information also helped BFD coordinators and matching supporters guide their participants effectively on their journey. The seminar provided participants with a deeper understanding of the Blessing’s significance and the importance of self-preparation, emphasizing good character, a filial heart, and practicing goodness daily. Through interaction and reflection, participants shared their views on the process and their inspiration from the Blessing. Mr. Jason Teves, a participant, shared that he was initially unsure about the matching process but, after being inspired by happy FilJap families, felt drawn to the idea. He now realizes the importance of fully committing with a pure heart, understanding the challenges faced by blessed families, and striving to be his best self to earn a blessing. Ultimately, trusting in the guidance of leaders and elders, he hopes to be blessed while True Mother is still alive and is ready to see where fate leads him. The seminar concluded with Mrs. Dulce’s guidance, instilling in participants a renewed sense of determination and a deeper understanding of the Blessing. She emphasized that it’s not just about external preparation, but about truly understanding the value of the Blessing and being ready to embark on a new stage of life, building a relationship centered on Heavenly Parents and True Parents. #Philippines
