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

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
