The “2025 Autumn Hyojeong CheonBo Great Works” was held in grand style at the HJ Heaven and Earth CheonBo Training Center from October 24 to 26, 2025. A total of over 120,000 participants from 143 countries around the world registered for this precious occasion of sharing filial love and grace.

Day Two — Ancestor Blessing Ceremony and the Grace of Chanyang
On the second day, the Ancestor Blessing Ceremony was held at the Cheonseong Wanglim Palace (the training center’s main building), with FFWPU Heavenly Japan President Tomihiro Tanaka and his wife and Heavenly Japan Cheonshim Won Branch President Lee Beom-seok and his wife attending in person. Participants offered prayers for the liberation and Blessing of their ancestors. Along with the nine chanyang sessions conducted over the three days of the Great Works, a relay of unison prayers was held in the special prayer room for eight hours each day. Attendees devoted their hearts in prayer for their nations, churches, families, and the younger generations, offering their devotions to Heavenly Parent. Meanwhile, counseling and ansu services were provided at the Family Counseling Center and the Cheonshim Won Ansu Center. A total of 551 participants received counseling, and 1,520 received ansu. In addition, 970 participants were assessed for central spirits, and 31 follow-up counseling sessions were conducted, allowing many members to experience healing and grace.
The Joy of Hyojeong: Cultural and Experiential Programs
During the Great Works, a variety of cultural and experiential programs complemented the devotional aspect of the event. In the lead-up, interest was sparked through a Webtoon event and a dedicated webpage. On-site, more than 800 participants enjoyed the Caricature (portrait) event and the Life Photo Booth, which both created joyful and lasting memories.
The 10th Tree of Love Busking was held in front of a digital backdrop of the Cheongpa-dong Original Headquarters Church, and featured performances prepared by the HJ CheonBo Training Center, Cheonshim Won and workshop participants, offering messages of true love through music.
The Meditation Prayer program took place in the 5th-floor auditorium of the Chinhwa Education Center, drawing around 150 participants. After relaxing their bodies and minds, members shared heartfelt messages of love with the heart of Heavenly Parent, exchanging deep inspiration and connection.
A special “Prayer Meeting for College Entrance Examinees and Job Seekers” was also held, with simultaneous interpretation in eight languages. It was a meaningful moment where members offered the hopes and aspirations of our younger generation members before Heaven.
The Cheonshim Spiritual Academy offered family-oriented programs at the Cheonshim Craft Room, the Hyojeong Kids Café, the Cheonshim Glamping Site, and through its fundraising booths, providing participants many ways to experience the love of True Parents and the culture of Hyojeong. Around Buheung Plaza, multicultural food booths were hosted by youth groups, churches, and providential organizations, including the Sun Moon University International Student Association, Ansan Church, Cheonseungdae Church, the Thai Mission Society, Cheonshim Spiritual Academy, and Hyojeong Traditional Farm. The various types of international cuisine they shared created a joyful occasion for harmony and fellowship.
Additional programs included a Holy Ground Stamp Tour and a VR family game booth, allowing families to enjoy special moments together amid the natural beauty of Hyojeong Cheonwon. Ilhwa and the Hanju Group provided promotional booths and discounts for members’ convenience, while HJ Magnolia International Hospital operated a health check-up station to support the well-being of the participants. Exploration programs also connected key attractions across the Cheonwon complex—including the Gapyeong Cruise, Begonia Bird Garden, Heaven G Burger, the Magnolia Plaza’s Seen-B Zoo and Aqua Garden—offering participants memorable experiences of joy and healing.
In the Footsteps of True Parents: A Journey to Embody Heaven’s Will
During the Great Works, numerous members made pilgrimages to Cheon Jeong Gung and Cheon Won Gung, a chance to reflect deeply on the life and achievements of True Parents. As they toured these sacred sites, participants viewed exhibitions and video presentations highlighting True Parents’ lives and accomplishments.
At Cheon Jeong Gung, they paid their respects at Bonhyang Won and explored exhibitions and videos presenting True Parents’ providential history and peace initiatives. They then continued to the Cheon Won Gung Video Education Center to study True Parents’ providential work and ministry further, followed by prayers at the Cheonil Sanctum. While viewing the Cheonil Seonghwa artworks exhibited in the Sanctum, members once again reflected on and felt the depth of True Parents’ sacrifice and love.
Keiko Kawamura, a member of Adachi Church in the Northeast Tokyo District, said: “Through this pilgrimage, I was able to deeply reflect once again on the mission and responsibility entrusted to Japan. I am determined to follow the path True Parents have walked and respond through my own actions.”
Worldwide Members Gather for the Hyojeong Cheonbo Great Works Global Joint Worship
On the final day of the Great Works, October 26, the “2025 Autumn Hyojeong Cheonbo Great Works Global Joint Worship” was held at the HJ Heaven and Earth Cheonbo Training Center and broadcast online, bringing together more than 100,000 participants worldwide. True Family members, heads of providential organizations, Cheon Il Guk leaders, and members from around the globe joined the service, which began with a Hyojeong Cheonbo chanyang session. The Cheonshim Choir offered the preparatory song, “Song of the Young People,” uplifting the spiritual atmosphere. FFWPU Heavenly Korea Vice President Kim Dong-yeon shared his heartfelt reflection, saying, “The sincere devotions of members worldwide have surely reached True Mother,” and expressed his hope that this worship would become a ceremonial marker for a new beginning.
In his prayer, World Mission Headquarters Director-General Doo Seung-yeon entreated that we all may walk the path of harmony and peace within Heavenly Parent’s love, saying, “May our every word and deed become an instrument to realize Heaven’s Will, as we model the life of love, sacrifice, and devotion shown by True Parents.”
After a powerful hyojeong praise performance of “I Will Praise with My Life,” Heavenly Japan CARP President Kenryu Kageyama presented a report on the activities of the second-generation outreach team, N.A.B.I. He noted, “Many second-generation youth are discovering joy and happiness through their life of faith, and N.A.B.I’s mission is to bring their voices to the world. The courage and passion they show on the streets are sending waves of positivity throughout society.”
FFWPU Heavenly Korea President Dr. Song Yong-cheon delivered a message titled “Opening This Era with Our Absolute Heartfelt Obedience.” He offered gratitude and glory to Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, emphasizing that this joint worship served as a meaningful moment that united the faith of members around the world.
Reading from John 14:27 and sharing True Mother’s words, President Song spoke about her life of absolute heartfelt obedience to Heavenly Parent. He noted, “Absolute heartfelt obedience is not simply a rule to follow—it is the essence of faith to be lived out in our daily lives, the life-giving path through which Heaven’s Will is fulfilled.” He urged all members to become the people who open a new era by rising above every trial.
As practical steps of faith, he emphasized: 1) Prayer and devotions that move Heaven; 2) A life that bears witness to the Word; and 3) Love and unity within the community. He concluded, “When members around the world unite in heart and purpose, we can hasten Heaven’s victory.”
In the final part of the service, the Cheonshim Choir offered the hymn “We Will Achieve It,” expressing their resolve to testify to True Mother before the world with one heart and one will.
In his benediction, President Song prayed, “True Mother always feels the love of her children before anything else, and her tears become earnest prayers that move the heart of Heaven.” He prayed that all members would rebuild bonds of true love as brothers and sisters, and then concluded by offering this blessing: “Let us stand firm as a community of pure true love and boldly testify to Heaven’s truth as true sons and daughters.”God’s providence? The Creator, the center of the universe, had a dream. God created the natural world, and finally created the first man and woman in the divine image, giving them a growing period, a span of time during which they should mature.
For 6,000 years, human history has seen a constant cycle of war and conflict. Through human ignorance, even this beautiful planet Earth—which Heavenly Parent created for us—is being destroyed. Scientists are saying that at this rate there is little hope for the future of humanity or for the future of our planet Earth.
What do you think is the mission of the Second Coming Messiah? What was Jesus’ hope? Why did he say he would come back? He indicated he would return to meet the Only Begotten Daughter.
