Luncheon Banquet for Tribal Messiahs
True Mother confers Tribal Messiah awards at the Foundation Day celebration banquet.
Following the Foundation Day Marriage Blessing, a celebration banquet took place in the main hall of the Cheong Pyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center. The special guests of the hour were hundreds of international Tribal Messiahs, in other words: individuals and couples who have invested greatly in their personal ministries of spreading the good news of True Parents. Everyone in attendance congratulated these Unificationists from the Phillipines, Nepal, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and Africa for all their efforts into expanding the reach of the Marriage Blessing in their respective nations.

Among the afternoon’s highlights were musical and dance performances, in particular those by a single-voice a Capella rendition of Hallelujah sung by a Unificationist from America and Youtube sensation. He offered a unique live performance accompanied by a pre-recorded video performance of himself singing all the harmonies and even simulating the instrumentals. His performance alongside the Little Angels and Apple Heaven inspired everyone at the celebration, including True Mother, who was smiling and applauding throughout.

In turn, True Mother took this opportunity to share some words with the group. “I asked Global Top Gun participants to tell me what heaven on earth looks like to them,” True Mother began, speaking of a recent lunch she shared with the workshop participants.
She went on to explain how in their meeting, one Global Top Gun participant from Africa shared his idea, verbally illustrating the ideal world as a place filled with happy families, and above all creation are True Parents looking down on this happy scene and waving.
True Mother asked the Tribal Messiahs, “What do you think of this picture? Do you like it?” The room erupted in applause and shouts of affirmation, the sounds of a unified vision to bring the world back to a reality where God is the center of people’s lives and families. True Mother then asked, “And will you work hard to help create that picture of Heaven on Earth?” Everyone shouted a heartfelt “Yes!” To this, True Mother said she wants everyone to join her there, and to share her heart’s sentiment she invited everyone to sing the song, “Umaya Nunaya” (“Love, Oh Love”) with her.
