Salvation, Mobilization, Investment
A new plan for establishing a heavenly unified world over the next seven years was unveiled during the National Family Service on November 8.
Dr. Chung Sik Yong, regional president of Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) North America, shared the “three great slogans for reviving America and the world through 2027: total salvation; mobilization; and investment”.
Dr. Yong explained the goals of the plan and how to implement them in a presentation where he shared the words of the late Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon and his wife Mother of Peace Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, co-founders of FFWPU and affectionately known as True Parents.
“What is God’s providence? It is to save the world,” Rev. Moon said. “What is God’s purpose for establishing religions? It is to save all people of the world. If a religion forgets its purpose of saving the world, that religion will perish, its families will be ruined, and the nation will be ruined as well.”
Dr. Yong discussed the concept of total salvation, quoting Bible scripture:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
As such, Dr. Yong said the goal of America’s total salvation is to bring all 50 states into unity with God—our Heavenly Parent—as well as True Parents and the spirit world. He shared the words of Rev. Moon’s May 2003 speech at East Garden estate in New York, where he said families are the building block to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth (Cheon Il Guk), so each family is responsible for becoming the solution and creating Cheon Il Guk in their homes and daily life.
“Live with the heart of caring for God and His providence,” Rev. Moon said. “The person with the heart of caring for heaven and thinking about what they can do in order to fulfill God’s Will is undoubtedly a real person. Everything will be resolved through this heart.”
In a speech in May, Dr. Moon also emphasized the importance of this time where attending God is necessary to bring about God’s providence.
“While I am alive on this earth…at least a third of the 7.7 billion people in the world should know and attend Heavenly Parent in their daily lives,” said Dr. Moon. “We must realize the substantial Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.”
Dr. Yong explained that tribal messiahship is key to achieving the second goal, total mobilization. Tribal messiahship is public outreach to family, friends, and extended communities.
“Let us increase tribal messiah membership and the number of Cheon Il Guk citizens by 10 times in a year,” said Dr. Yong. “Our goal is 144,000 Cheonbo families who have successfully achieved this. Through this multiplication, the ideal of ‘one nation’ will be established.”
The final goal, total investment, requires unyielding dedication of heart, mind, and soul. Drawing on absolute faith and obedience, Rev. Moon spoke of giving all of our power and might to God, as it is written in the Bible:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” (Matthew 27:38)
Through total salvation, mobilization, and investment, America and the rest of the world can be brought back to God, establishing a heavenly unified world.
“Politicians are not the owners of this nation,” Dr. Moon said in a speech on December 25, 2018. “You must understand that the true owners are Heavenly Parent, True Parents, and you blessed families. As the owner, you have the authority of an owner and in stronger words, you have to go for it!”
And unlike any other time in human history, this internet civilization has entered the era of a ‘one-second time zone’—where all of humanity is within reach of God’s salvation.

Finally someone teaching about the necessity of formula course activity and spiritual children as a foundation for the Blessing. I look forward to second generation taking over the leadership based on results in fundraising and witnessing. The purpose of church leadership is to bring actual results in fundraising and witnessing. It is dangerous to have church leaders who do not know how to make money (restore all things) and make spiritual children (restore people).

To be honest, I never understood the Divine Principle the way Dr. Yong taught and explained it in his morning devotion sessions. He made God’s Word alive that penetrated to my heart much deeper and real than before. I feel there is hope for our movement and hope for the world. I believe we can accomplish the 144,000 if we invest and put our heart into it. America and the world are in a terrible situation now more than before. Breaking down of families and divorce has reached an alarming 55% divorce rate and six out of ten children are raised without a mom or dad. This is the situation of America right now. It is pretty clear what our task is. Restoring and protecting marriages and strengthening the family institution. This is our spiritual and political platform. We can design a 10 million signature campaign like we did back in the early 80’s with President Ronald Reagan. I believe we can do it.
