Over 200 members from 73 churches in 12 Asian countries entered Korea as the 64th Overseas Visiting Group on November 9, when the cold weather in the late autumn which was supposed to continue turned to cool, cozy weather.

They came from India, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Mongolia, Japan, and more. For these special guests, simultaneous interpretation was provided in ten languages throughout their stay. More than 90 percent of these members were visiting Korea for the first time and they were in their 20s and 30s. They were the specially chosen gospel workers from each church, as there were many applicants for this visit.

The 64th Overseas Visiting Group members were strongly determined to meet Mother in person, receive the Holy Spirit, and deliver it to the people of their nations, because they came to Korea with the wishes and gospel goals of each church that wanted to heat up the fervor of the preaching festivals of the Day of Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles. Heavenly Mother welcomed such members warmly and expressed Her gratitude to them, who had preached diligently despite much difficulty and come from distant countries, and blessed them to become great gospel workers who would preach in their home countries by receiving abundant Holy Spirit from Father.

Their education programs which focused on truth preaching and character build-up were carried out at the training institutes in Chungcheong Province and in the capital area. The members engraved every moment they spent with Mother upon their hearts. The time they shared with Korean members during worship services and events also remained as precious memories. Their giving glory to God as a special choir, wearing each country’s traditional clothes at an event held at the Okcheon Go&Come Training Institute on November 12 was the fulfillment of the prophecies in the Bible concerning the signs of this age, and it moved Korean members greatly. “It feels like we’re in heaven as Mother and numerous brothers and sisters gather together. We can feel the eternal kingdom of heaven is not far away,” said the overseas visiting group members, expressing their joy of gathering together with the heavenly family.

“Truly, we were Mother’s everything,” they said after experiencing Mother’s utmost care and love for about ten days in Korea. They also learned the humble, serving, and sacrificial mind from Mother. The Korean members and the visiting group members could learn from each other, which gave a fresh impetus to the gospel work. Finishing their schedule and feeling Heavenly Father and Mother’s grace and love to the full, the overseas members returned to their countries with fierce determination: “When we go back, we will surely accomplish the mission to preach to seven billion people!”
