The baby was very small and undernourished

Su-won Chung (one of the first 36 couples.)

He gave this testimony in April 1986:

“I often visited Ei Rhee by bicycle. Once on my way back I couldn’t stay up on my bicycle. I thought it was not running well, so I checked it, but nothing was wrong. I started up again but the bicycle wouldn’t go straight and I knew something had to be wrong! Finally I realized the bicycle wasn’t running well because I was so hungry. So the members made me some lunch and we couldn’t stop laughing.

…

My wife and I then had a second baby, Kun Sook. The baby was very small and undernourished. She couldn’t get enough of her mother’s milk, and we couldn’t afford to buy any milk. My wife sold household goods door-to-door in order to feed the baby. Many times I thought, “We are the leaders of the restoration of God’s will so we have to overcome all difficulties, even the way of the cross. True Father’s way was always difficult, and so we as his children have to follow Father’s same course in the providence.” When my daughter was seven years old her weight was the same as a three-year-olds. When I look at Kun Sook now I feel very sorry.

…

In December 1970, Father ordered all the blessed wives to go out for three years on a witnessing condition. He told us that we couldn’t go to the Kingdom of Heaven if we didn’t participate. No one really understood Father’s words at that time. When the wives left home they had to give their children to their relatives. The relatives did not understand, but they could not reject the children. The members may have had good relationships with their families before, but during this three-year period most of their relationships broke down. This was a huge indemnity condition for the members. But it had to be made because Korea was so negative to the Unification Church. It was only after this indemnity condition that Father was able to go to America and build his world-level foundation.

My wife participated in the condition, and I became a national IW. Our children had to stay with my assistant, and another sister took care of our new baby Han Sook, who was just 100 days old. This sister was often tired and she would sometimes fall asleep and forget to feed the baby. Many times the spirit world would wake her up and tell her that it was time to give milk to the baby.

My neighbors said the house was strange because there were no parents living there, only children. They said God must be protecting that house.”

Notes by Dr. Tyler Hendricks

“How many are here? (220) Are there more men or women? (Women.) It is the age of women. Around the blessing time in 1960, many high school girls joined. As of yesterday, one and a half years have passed since the Coronation of God’s Kingship. In 1970, I mobilized wives for three years. That was the second such mobilization, and I said that the third mobilization would come. The family must go into the Kingdom of Heaven. Today we are in the settlement age of unification and safe settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth.

… The wild olive tree is engrafted to the true olive tree, and we can expect the new fruit. Perfect fruit will allow us to develop to the next step.

God will automatically accept that fruit. That’s why women should stand up to save the nation. That’s why those high school girls joined. But the community did not recognize them as responsible for their decision. People instead blamed me for brainwashing them. Their parents persecuted the movement. They didn’t like their girls being single and going out all over the country. In the 1960s those unmarried girls received the blessing. Later they stood up for another mobilization. They did not have enough space for their babies. They asked their relatives to take care of their children, and even left them in orphanages, and all blessed wives went to a public mission. The family foundation was offered up, and the households were so miserable, and it was done in order to save the nation. It was a three-year course.

Each blessed couple has to prepare to do this. That’s why I declared safe settlement in June, and 70 million people around the world participated, plus the spirit world made a total of 700 million. You don’t feel existence of spirit world, so you are numb. Now we are carrying out the international, inter-religious blessings. The big nations are against me, like Brazil, although we want to give the blessing to them even more. That’s why the autonomous system, restoring one state, … a state of the USA is like a nation. Centered on True Parents we can unify and make the safe settlement.”
