100 Campus USA Speaking Tour

Between October and December 1993, True Parents’ and members of their family toured America and delivered the “True Parents and the Completed Testament Age” message to audiences in forty U.S. cities, on weekends and often in churches. The following spring, between March 8 and April 27, 1994, True Mother and her adult children and in-laws undertook a 100-campus speaking tour in the United States, once again proclaiming “True Parents and the Completed Testament Age.”

In a message given to young people at East Garden during the tour, True Mother shared the following:

“What is our destiny at this point? First of all, mothers and children must unite together and then restore the father in each family. Eventually, each family must be united with True Father and True Parents. This is the way the entire five billion people of the world will have hope to be restored. All throughout the country, in the major universities, True Children and I are giving this proclamation at each campus. It is giving hope and light to those young people who do not know what to do and where to go. It is our mission to go out and reach every one of them. They are the ones who are still longing for parental love, true love. They are the ones who are waiting and searching. We have to give them this proclamation, so that there is absolutely nobody in this country who says they did not hear about it.”
