True Mother Visits L.A.
Bishop Noel Jones, a well known mega church pastor, welcomed True Mother into his church in Los Angeles. The rally was a great success with vibrant entertainment and a heartfelt message from the Mother of Peace.
The Youth Revival weekend surrounding the rally brought together 500 youth and young adults from around the country for a weekend experience. CARP and YAYAM partnered to provide an experience focusing on the power of the Blessing Ceremony and how it is meant for all of God’s children, not just those within our faith.

This month, Massachusetts finished the Il Shim Ceremony program with their graduation ceremony! It was a lot of fun having all of the participants receive their rings! One of our staff reported, “The exchanging of vows and receiving the rings was very moving, and after the ceremony was finished many people from the community expressed how emotional they felt during the graduation. The kids were all excited and grateful for this opportunity. We are excited to have gone on this journey with them, and we look forward to seeing them grow even more.”

Chicago’s Children’s Ministry 1-3 graders already knew that plants need soil, sunlight, and water in order to grow. In this lesson, they were taught that a life of faith also needs soil, sunlight, and water. They planted Calla Lilies to remind themselves that they need to grow with God.
