Rev. and Mrs. Inose Visit Louisiana Family Church

Rev. Hiroshi Inose, an Itinerant Worker (IW) to America, and his wife, Mrs. Hatsune Inose, made a visit to LaPlace, Louisiana, on Saturday, August 8, 2015, to give guidance and have fellowship with local Unificationists.

In the morning, Rev. Inose gave a PowerPoint presentation titled “Outline of the Providence from the Year 2001” and had the congregation read sections together from the booklet “2015 Cheon Il Guk Leaders Assembly Material.”

It was not all presentations, however. During his visit he took the time to listen to comments and answer questions. He spoke freely with the congregation about the important relationship of husband and wife, about current challenges within the national community, and other concerns. Each participant was able to make comments, and after lunch, Mrs. Inose spent time one on one with couples and individuals.

Throughout the visit Rev. Inose stressed the benefit of the Louisiana Family Church and emphasized the importance of tithing and singing “with spirit.” Louisiana Family Church Pastor John Allen Monestere said of the visit, “I feel he really wanted to provide us with guidance and solutions to the various issues raised … but mostly he wanted to convey True Parents’ and Heavenly Parent’s love.”

Rev. and Mrs. Inose later drove to Alabama and continued to meet Unificationists. The LaPlace congregation was moved by the Inoses’ visit, and by their genuine desire to connect and offer guidance. Both Rev. and Mrs. Inose expressed joy and appreciation for their time there, and the community looks forward to welcoming them again.
