76th Overseas Visiting Group

In June when the sun was shining brightly in early summer, precious guests visited Korea. They were the 76th Overseas Visiting Group consisting of about 150 young adult workers from all over the world. The way to travel across the sky, which had been closed for years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been reopened. From June 2, the members from 37 countries entered Incheon International Airport, starting with the members from Central and South America. Most of them were visiting Korea for the first time. As they arrived in Korea, they were excited and looked forward to spending time in the holy land where our spiritual Father and Mother had come.

Mother warmly welcomed them who finally flew into Her arms like clouds and doves. Mother praised the members for their efforts to save souls by keeping their faith despite their busy work schedules, and expressed Her sincere love by repeatedly saying, “I am happy to be with you.” The young adults were greatly strengthened by Mother’s encouragement, who told them to receive the blessing of the Holy Spirit to become greater gospel workers and to complete the world evangelism by working for the salvation of souls with compassion for others like the Good Samaritan.

The visiting group members shared many types of activities and methods they had practiced at workplaces for a bright future for mankind and environmental conservation, through various events and conferences, mainly at the “Worldwide Young Adult Leadership Conference 2023,” and discussed visions and directions for world evangelism. They broadened their horizons and gained spiritual realization by visiting the Church of God History Museum, “Father’s True Heart” Exhibition, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Blue House, the aquarium, etc., and also visited local churches to build fellowship with Korean members. Mother took care of beds and food for the overseas members from different backgrounds, encouraged them every time, and checked whether or not they were tired from their tight schedules.

The members who completed their schedule safely through Mother’s love and concern returned to their home countries, remembering their gospel goals and vision, and their resolution as young adult leaders. Brother Siddhart Jondhle from M.H. Viman Nagar, Pune, India, said, “After receiving the truth, I obeyed God’s word and always asked for wisdom and power. I’ve become a gospel worker and been promoted at my workplace. With a mature faith, I will put God’s will into practice.” Sister Melissa Ferrel from Trujillo, Peru, said, “It was the time to gain strength after realizing how young adults could change the world and what goals we need to set for our lives. I will run toward heaven and preach the good news of salvation to people around the world.”
