In April, when the warm spring sunshine beams down upon the whole land, the 32nd Overseas Visiting Group visited Korea. Their visit seemed to herald the coming of the spring of the gospel. 124 overseas members joined this visiting group; they were from 20 Churches in 9 countries—USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, France, Germany, and South Africa. It was the first time that a member from France visited Korea.

There were many new members, and all of the visiting group members had a great deal of enthusiasm for the truth. They devoted themselves to studying God’s word at the Elohim Training Institute and the Theological Seminary, and preached confidently what they had studied and practiced, in the presence of Mother. Mother took care of every detail for them. She comforted Her children who kept their faith in spite of many difficulties they encountered while preaching the gospel. Also, Mother planted the heavenly hope in their hearts and blessed them, saying, “Be the great prophets who fulfill the world mission.”

While staying in Korea, they personally experienced the love of heavenly Mother, and were deeply touched by the Korean members who practiced love, following the example of Mother. They understood God’s love described in the Bible with their hearts and grew stronger in faith. Also, they witnessed the sacrificial path of heavenly Father and Mother and realized Their love when they visited the Church of God History Museum. Holding worship services at the New Jerusalem Temple, the Seogu Church in Daejeon and the Dongdaemun Church in Seoul, they shared the joy of reunion with the Korean members.

With their hearts filled with Mother’s warm love like spring sunshine and with beautiful memories in Korea, the 32nd Overseas Visiting Group members returned to their country. They are now growing to become great gospel workers, putting into action the love of Mother that they’ve received to purify the whole world. It is expected that the spiritual pilgrimage parade of the heavenly children all around the world, who long for the new Jerusalem, will go on.
