Don’t Stop Believing
“I was introduced to so many people and had the chance to hear all their beautiful testimonies,” said Dr. Chung Sik Yong, who is now continuing his national tour in the Western United States.
On November 1, Dr. Yong, FFWPU regional president of North America, arrived in the Colorado capitol of Denver.
“We had a nice meeting with members at the Colorado Family Church,” he said, “and I met with key regional leaders Revs. Ken Doo, Kevin Thompson, Michael Heintrich, and others including Rev. Richard Buessing and his wife.”
“I really appreciate the Beussing couple’s dedication,” he said, as they opened their home to host Dr. Yong’s meeting.
Since early August, Dr. Yong’s 50-state tour has taken him across the country as he follows in the footsteps of True Parents. In each state, he has met with Unification leadership and members, as well as local government and faith leaders, sharing a message of hope and peace to revive the spirit of America and its people. Dr. Yong has also visited the holy grounds in each state established by True Parents in 1965.
“I went to the holy ground in Wyoming for prayer with a small group,” he said. “We don’t have much foundation there, but in the future we need to send young people to pioneer that area. It’s such a beautiful place.”
After stopping in Wyoming, Dr. Yong flew from Colorado to Utah where he was welcomed by Pastor Mike Stovall of Salt Lake City Family Church. The tour has enabled Dr. Yong to meet many Unificationists in person for the first time since assuming the role of regional president during the pandemic last year.
As the nation faces a range of issues amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Yong has connected with many couples and families — the backbone of society and the nation’s future. Along the way, he has shared FFWPU’s national goals leading up to True Mother’s visit to the U.S. in December. Unificationist leaders aim to connect more people with the Marriage Blessing movement, corresponding resources, and increase local community activities nationwide.
“The tour has been a very good experience,” said Dr. Yong as he continues to more states.
Dr. Yong will finish touring the Western U.S. this week.
