Prayer Request for Hiromichi Shimoyama
The loving support of a community can empower its members through times of great difficulty. Please take a moment to pray for the health and recovery of Hiromichi Shimoyama. Mr. Shimoyama has received open heart surgery and decreased use of his kidneys. He is recently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer. He worked for New Future Films for 30 years and was Director for part of that time. New Future Films recorded and archived significant moments of True Parents’ life and mission since the 70s. Below is a letter from his daughter and an opportunity to contribute a donation to the family.
Hello beloved friends, family and supporters,
I am overcoming my pride and opening up our family to the world. It is with my humble heart that I share with you these little bumps in our life and ask for your prayer and support.
I recently set up a YouCaring fundraising account for my dad. He texted me from his hospital bed when he saw this fundraiser— “It is overwhelming! I have nothing but tears for those people praying and supporting me. It is the act of God indeed!”
I truly thank everyone over the years and everyone right now for keeping my father in your thoughts. He is a warrior and is fighting so hard! His strength and determination is surreal. No matter how long his time here on earth is, his gratitude and love will extend to everyone for eternity!
If you would like to submit a prayer request, please fill out the form below and the Blessing & Family Ministry will get in touch with you.

Marina dear, Thank you so very much for this very moving video and heartfelt narrative. I knew your father from the early days when he was a member of New Future Films and I was a member of the New Hope Singers accompanying True Father during the Day of Hope tours in the early 70s.
As soon as True Father finished his speech in one city, the NFF staff always very quickly dismantled their camera/audio equipment and were already en route to the next city, scheduled on the tour, way ahead of us. By the time the NHSI arrived, NFF had already completed setting up their camera and audio equipment, always being very professional and very reliable and always very, very serious about their mission. I was such a young and naive member, and was never fully aware of how high their standard was and how professional they were. All I had to do was sing well.
Shimoyama had an outgoing personality, and unlike many Japanese men was very funny and easy to talk with. I always looked forward to seeing him in the next city. He was special, for he truly embraced and loved America and the American members and for this, I will surely miss him. God bless you and the rest of family.
