Encouraging STF Trainees at UTS
August 21, 2008
InJin Nim met with STF trainees and their families
at UTS. InJin Nim, who was introduced by Dr. Pyeong
Hwa Kim who attended with her, spoke about her
time when she was a young girl and True Parents were
directly governing many workshops at UTS. She said that
now that she received this big responsibility from True
Parents, the first thing she needs to do is to listen. She said
that she would listen to everything, to what was done well
and not done well, in order to unite America.
Looking at precious 2nd generation born as a result
of True Parents’ Blessings, InJin Nim expressed that she
feels a great amount of responsibility, not as a sister to
them but as a mother. She asked them to grow up to be
great future leaders of the Unification Movement with the
identity of people especially chosen as children of Blessed
Families. She asked them to become people who can help
others, people who can make others happy and people
who can be grateful all the time.
After her speech, InJin Nim led a Yute game in person.
All the STF trainees gathered, and the men’s team, led
by Shin Myeong Nim and the women’s team, led by Shin
Seon Nim, competed against one another. The men’s team
won two out of three games, receiving the prize from
InJin Nim.

STF Visits InJin Nim’s Home
September 7, 2008

InJin Nim invited over 30 young American STF

trainees to a BBQ party in her home. The continental
director couple attended this event as well. InJin Nim
prepared the food for the guests herself. Everyone had a
joyful time together at this event.

On STF trainee said that this day was very meaningful.

Another said that the laughter and happiness shared by
InJin Nim’s family and all the guests let her feel the warm
love within InJin Nim’s family.

New Jersey Visit (New Jerusalem Church)
September 14, 2008
On August 14, Father appointed InJin Nim to be the
chairman of FFWPU America. Since then, she took time
to dedicate herself internally before starting on a national
tour. On September 14, as the first step of the tour, she
visited the New Jersey district, where she conveyed True
Parents’ love and shared her vision of hope for a brighter
future, centering on the year 2013 as a goal. As the newly
inaugurated chairperson, she made this an opportunity to
meet with local members, who determined to make a new
beginning together with InJin Nim.
InJin Nim was introduced by Rev. Michael Jenkins
and welcomed to the
podium with a great
round of applause.
In her sermon, she
thanked American
members for their
sacrificial effort, and
asked them to not
forget their families
and the 2nd generation even during the busy progression
of the providence. She spoke about the bright future of
the American church, centering on the growing ‘Peace
Generation’.
....................... Summary of InJin Nim’s speech ..................
True Parents want America to wake up and become a
nation that conveys true love. American members who
were called by Father and have followed with all their
hearts and true victors. I’m sure that there have been
times when you were tired or wounded. Let’s watch out
for and take care of each other in those types of situations,
and not give up. As the new chairperson of HSA, I will
continue to think about how to work together with 1st
and 2nd generation.
What our community teaches people of the world is
important, but what I am more interested in is the kinds
of lives that members of our community, including our
children, are leading. People of the world are inspired to
1
see children that have grown up properly in good families.
This continues to natural witnessing. Small things in life
compound on one another in our life, bringing about a
great result. A great way to educate children is to take time,
even if just a small amount of time each day, to eat, pray or
talk about God’s Will with your children.
If 2nd generation look at their parents from generally
held viewpoints of people in the world, it’s easy to see their
parents as failures with nothing in their possession. But in
reality, 1st generation gave their lives to follow True Parents
because they knew who True Parents were and about the
providence when no one else did. 1st generation also know
the value of a couple getting along despite all difficulties
along the way. You should be proud to have such parents
and have conviction in your identity. Let’s become part of a
new ‘Generation Peace’ that can fulfill these kinds of peace
ideals. In order to live for the sake of others, you first have
to be successful in society. Please give all your passion into
working toward a clear goal.
As the chairperson of America, I feel heavy
responsibility for the church’s future. In America, where
culture has an absolute influence on people, I will make
a lot of investment in 2nd generation who have various
talents and potential, in order to protect youth in America
and to prepare a framework for future-oriented mission
work.
..............................................................................................
Members who heard InJin Nim’s speech on this day
could relate with her “natural witnessing” methodology.
One Japanese member said that she gained confidence in
witnessing after hearing InJin Nim speak.
The New Jerusalem Church specially borrowed the
Woodrow Wilson Middle School, which was near the
church, for the service. Over 500 members attended,
totally filling the school auditorium. Talented students
sang, played the violin, and performed African dances to
welcome InJin Nim.
2
 After the service, InJin Nim had lunch (pizza) together
with local members.
Four of InJin Nim’s children (ShinKwon, ShinSun,
ShinYul, ShinPyung) played Yute with over 200 2nd
generation. InJin Nim held a “town hall meeting” with
members in order to receive reports about the specific
situation of the church. The high temperatures (over 90
degrees Fahrenheit) and high humidity levels did not keep
InJin Nim from listening to the reports with a sincere and
attentive heart. The members were able to unite with InJin
Nim thanks to her sincerity.
From early morning to late evening, members could
spend time with InJin Nim’s family, from the Sunday
Service to the Yute games, to discussing how our
movement can grow by 2013. Brothers and sisters who had
a deep experience together could forget about the heavy
heat even though they were sweating buckets. Finally, at
5pm, the members sent off InJin Nim’s family after a very
rewarding day together with them.

Amidst the reports, InJin Nim gave advice to members,

such as, “listen first to your children”, “have the mindset
that you are working together”, “interact more with the
KEA (churches with services in Korean)”.

InJin Nim gave bracelets with ‘Generation Peace’ written

on them to all the 2nd generation who participated in the
Yute games.

UTS Visit (Unification Theological Seminary)
September 17, 2008
InJin Nim visited UTS on September 17, a seminary
which Father put much love and devotion into founding
and raising. Together with faculty, staff and students, InJin
Nim revisited Father’s vision for UTS and discussed the
current situation and development plans for UTS.
During the weekly interreligious Wednesday service,
InJin Nim emphasized that UTS is like Heaven, a
place where peace is realized among young students
from all around the world who have come to study the
founder’s teachings from various national and religious
backgrounds. She received a big round of applause
when she encouraged those in attendance to spread the
peace attained at UTS all around the world. Many of the
participants were impressed by InJin Nim’s simple yet
logical, graceful and composed manner of speech.
................. Summary of InJin Nim’s speech .................
UTS is a place with many of my young memories with
True Parents and my brothers and sisters. True Parents
established UTS with a special purpose, in order to
complete Jesus’ mission. Students that studied at UTS
were taken fishing by Father and taken to McDonalds
by Father. When I saw that, I thought that they were
specially prepared people.
People get inspired but can sometimes lose their
inspiration over time. But we must always remember our
precious moments with True Parents. I was also distant
4
from True Parents at one time. But now that I have come
back, when I look in my parents’ eyes, I see that they
haven’t changed since when they taught me about nature
and about life when I was young. We should realize that
our identities are entwined with True Parents and always
remember the times that True Parents gave us vitality for
our life and encouraged us.
When I was driving, I saw a bumper sticker that
talked about co-existing. But I don’t think co-existing is
enough. UTS is a place where we try to live together in
an environment of true love, rather than merely trying
to co-exist. There are many people here from many races
and many places in the world. Ask yourselves why you
are here. If you can’t understand someone, then you can’t
love her. You can start to love someone when you start to
feel that you understand him. The purpose of attending
this school is to understand and moreover love the people
of other races and religions who are here with you in this
school.
The young people of today think that money is the
most important thing and are most interested in what
they can get for themselves. But the more important thing
is to discover who you are and to be interested in helping
others develop their God-given personality. The reason
UTS is different than other places is that True Father and
True Mother’s greatness is represented here.
Mother-like values include peace, love and
understanding. The value of women is to raise up others
who sacrifice for us. I expect that UTS will create a true
‘Generation Peace’.
.................................................................................................
After the service, InJin Nim ate lunch with faculty
and students in the cafeteria. She was greeted by 16
freshmen from various countries, such as America, Korea,
Japan, Bolivia, Turkey, Congo, India, Hungary, Zambia
and Israel. During the greetings, one of the freshmen,
Anastasia from Moldova, a daughter of a Lutheran
5
minister, expressed that she was very moved by InJin preparing her to lead America from long ago.
Nim’s speech and felt as though her mother was talking to
her while she listened to InJin Nim. Anastasia broke out InJin Nim remained at UTS for the rest of the day,
in tears and could not finish what she was going to say. meeting with UTS representatives, Dr. Pyeong Hwa Kim
and Dr. Michael Jenkins, discussing the management of
The student government gave InJin Nim a soap set the school, ways to develop the school, focusing on topics
prepared by a member living nearby. such as school curriculum, student recruitment, careers
for graduates and fundraising.
After lunch, InJin Nim was given a tour of the grounds,
shown the fishing nets made by Father and historical
pictures, which were explained to her along the way. She
even went to the boiler room and was listened to a story
about the installation of boiler and pipe insulation. Those
with InJin Nim learned that she has a deep love for UTS.

While InJin Nim was being shown the large lecture

hall, she passed by a picture of her holding hands with
Christian ministers, demonstrating against the US
government when Father was in Danbury prison. It made
those in her attendance realize that heaven has been

Washington D.C. Visit (New Hope Family Church)
September 20~21, 2008
On September 20-21, InJin Nim visited the center of
the American providence, the Washington, DC district
(district director = Rev. Randall Francis). She spent her
whole visit guiding members and closely examining the
situation of the church HQ and DC district.
On Saturday morning, as soon as she arrived, she
started receiving reports from ACLC, MEPI and WAIF,
which are special peace-oriented programs affiliated with
our church. She gave encouragement to all who presented
and especially asked Mrs. Paterson to do her best to help
Father get the Noble Peace Prize for his sacrificial work to
bring about world peace.
From 2pm, InJin Nim received reports from five
churches in the district (National Cathedral, Northern
Virginia, New Hope, Richmond, KEA) in a “town hall
meeting”. Before the reports, InJin Nim gave some advice
about having good relationships between husbands and
wives and effectively educating children. Even though the
reports lasted a long time, InJin Nim continued to make
eye contact and listened to the whole reports. That helped
those giving the reports and the members who were
listening to feel that their work had been valuable.
For dinner, American members who joined in the
1960s were invited to share their experiences with True
Parents in their youth and give their opinions on the
future of the American church.
Early Sunday morning, after Hoon Dok Hwe, InJin
Nim told the 80 2nd generation in attendance to clearly
understand their identity and live passionately in order
to fully realize their God-given potential and fully use
their God-given talents. Then each of the 2nd generation
introduced themselves to InJin Nim. When Miken
Jenkins, son of the president of our movement, explained
that he got blessed to a 2nd generation from Germany
whom he met while on STF Europe, InJin Nim jokingly
asked if he had gone to Europe to find a spouse.
After InJin Nim had breakfast with all in attendance,
7
she went to the New Hope Academy and gave a deep
speech to the 600 members in attendance of the district-
level service.
Before InJin Nim spoke, Rev. Michael Jenkins read
some testimonies from members in New Jersey who
heard her speak there. He introduced her as a true
American leader who knows how to listen to American
people and who can deeply understand Americans.
............. Summary of InJin Nim’s speech ..............
I wanted to go to Alaska to meet True Parents but
Father said that Washington is a very very very (Father
repeated the word ‘very’ three times) important area, so
I should be with members in this area. (When members
heard this, they said, “Wow!”)
Many Blessed Couples did not choose their Blessing
partner. Father chose their partner. You, who are here
today thanks to your connection with Father, and
children who were born to such couples are God-
touched, specially chosen precious people. I hope that
you can live precious lives, knowing your identity. We
have to create model beautiful families in order to show
the world how great True Parents are.
(In Jin Nim talked about an experience of when she
was Blessed with Jin Sung Nim. As In Jin Nim talked
about her experience, the members’ atmosphere became
very warm.) Some Blessed Couples wish they could have
experienced romantic love. Those people should make
effort to create beautiful love with their precious chosen
spouses starting from now.
As we can see in the example of the presidential
candidate Mr. Obama, America is the land of dreams.
America is a powerful nation which can influence the
world. American society has changed a lot since the early
days of our church and we have gone beyond the level of
pioneering to the level of becoming part of mainstream
society. We should think about how we want to influence
8
society. Until the 2013 deadline of establishing Cheon Il
Guk, I want to clean up Father’s image, especially on the
internet. I will certainly establish his image as a strong
man, a peacemaker, a man of peace, a peacebuilder, who
hasn’t stopped from when he was 16 until now, when he
is over 89 years old. 2nd generation, please become part
of a new Generation Peace, which will build a peaceful
world following True Parents’ will and desire.
While True Parents have been trying to fulfill their
mission, they have sacrificed their family, the Unification
Church, and have given their lives for sake of fulfilling
God’s Will. Many people of the world could not
understand True Parents’ life, so many negative things
have been said about them. Now we need to tell the truth
about True Parents so they can be properly evaluated.
That would be the greatest gift I could give to them as
their daughter. We should also build a world in which our
children can be proud that they are Unification Church
members.
HyoJin Nim realized the importance of media early
on and put all his passion into pioneering that field. I
will continue HyoJin Nim’s work. Father invested a lot
of money, time and effort into teaching American young
people about true spiritual values and raising them to be
responsible leaders. But negative reports in the media
made it so that Father’s true value was hard for people
to see. We should show the world exemplary families
and great children, and tell them that our families and
children are a result of True Parents’ teachings. At first, it
will seem slow, but it is a more powerful and long-lasting
method of witnessing, that is ‘natural witnessing’. It’s
good to invite influential VIPs to events, but we could
also work to raise our children to be influential VIPs.
(applause and cheering in the audience)
I have frequently heard Father scolding American
sisters firmly. The reason he did that is he knows the
great influence American women can possess in a nation
that is a superpower. Father scolds when he has high
expectations. I am a woman with an American citizenship
9
and Father appointed me to be the chairperson of the
American church. It is finally the age of women now. Let’s
show the world what American women are capable of!
(cheers and applause of women in the audience)
Let’s build a community in which we build good
families, successfully raise our children and truly practice
living for the sake of others.
...........................................................................................
InJin Nim spoke in a quiet and calm voice, breaking
down the message to make it easier to understand and
to make it clear. Many members who heard her speak
exclaimed that she has the power to move people’s hearts.
One Washington member with two sons and one
daughter said that she was so happy to hear the top
church leader in America, who is also a True Child, say
with her own mouth that our children are important
beings, who must be educated and raised well. She said
that it would help her children’s lives and would become a
weapon to help them overcome difficulties.
After the service, two of InJin Nim’s children, Shin Yeol
and Shin Pyeong, joined InJin Nim, Jin Sung Nim and
the local members for lunch outside in the good weather.
The members were busy taking turns taking pictures with
InJin Nim while she ate, and InJin Nim would stop eating
to talk with members who came to greet her.
After lunch, Rev. Jenkins gave InJin Nim a tour of the
United Federation of Churches building, which is also the
national church HQ building. That concluded InJin Nim’s
schedule in the Washington, DC district.

Meeting with WFWP Leaders
September 24, 2008
On Sept. 24th WFWP, USA had a meeting for 4 hours
with InJin Nim at the New Yorker Hotel. A report of
WFWP’s activities over the past ten years was prepared
for her and the meeting began with introductions,
including brief remarks of each participant’s experience
with WFWP.
As each participant shared their thoughts and
experiences, InJin Nim shared her thoughts openly. She
mentioned that the WFWP members should be proud
of their femininity and develop their own unique style
of leadership. InJin Nim thought that culture is the key
and suggested doing something with cooking: learn
and understand the best from each culture, and because
women and mothers have many things in common such
as families, cooking, beauty, it is easier to relate to women
and mothers in this way. InJin Nim also suggested doing
things in America that will empower women to make
them feel that they are building peace.
She also emphasized that in order to cultivate true
and enduring peace they should be doing work with the
youngest members of the society. She suggested to create
a hotline for teens so they can talk to someone about their
struggles, in cases that they can’t talk to their parents.
InJin Nim encouraged having second gen moving,
inspiring them so they feel they are needed and that
things will move faster with their involvement.
She asked everyone to be strong and carry themselves
with dignity because we have to educate women about
their value and reach the hearts of all women.
This meeting was a special time for the WFWP
members because InJin Nim shared openly about her
experiences and insights as a mother. Through deep
sharing as mothers and women, those in attendance
came to feel that she sees the world through the heart of a
mother.
11
Meeting with Witnessing Summit Committee
September 27, 2008
The Witnessing Summit Steering Committee was put
together in August 2007 centering on Ms. Sheri Reuter.
Through the six National Witnessing Summits, it is in the
process of settlement. This was the first meeting in which
all the members of the steering committee got together
with InJin Nim. It was an opportunity to report to InJin
Nim about their work so far, share their witnessing
results. InJin Nim showed much interest in their work and
gave them words of encouragement.
A second generation member named David Hunter
said that the Witnessing Summit is bringing a spiritual
revolution to America and is helping 2nd generation
to be more active. He reported that the following are
needed: First, an educational system to educated new
member, Second, clarification of the identity of our
movemet, Third, spreading the heart and passion for
witnessing, Fourth, creating a culture in our church that is
appropriate for American young people.
InJin Nim asked all the headquarter departments to
work in unity and she emphasized the importance of
families and educating young children. She said that she
would create more opportunities for 2nd generation to
go close to True Parents, and she emphasized that each
individual member should contribute to the providence
using all his or her strengths and talents. Also, InJin
Nim said that Sunday School should be interesting and
exciting. She suggested making newsletters or workbooks
for use in Sunday School.
For witnessing, InJin Nim suggested using the NY
headquarters building or the Boston church building
to hold many good programs, taking advantage of the
good locations of those buildings. She also suggested
developing the church brand through the internet and
opening a new horizon for witnessing.
InJin Nim said that our movement has a culture in
which Unification Family members come together
beyond the boundaries of race and nationality to create a
Worldwide Universal Family. She asked all present to live
a life of witnessing starting from their families in order to
naturally attract other individuals and families. InJin Nim
encouraged all who were present and closed the meeting
which turned out to be over five hours long.
12
CARP Meeting
September 27, 2008
On September 27, 2008, about 60 students from
CARP USA had the opportunity to meet with InJin Nim’s
family for 4 hours at the 43rd street HQ. The program
started with reports by CARP regional representatives
from CT, NY, MA, DC, and NJ, and testimonies by NLTP
members.
After hearing the reports and testimonies, InJin Nim
spoke. She spoke about how each and everyone was
hand-picked by God and that we should not forget that
we are God’s children and that wherever we go, whoever
we meet, we should have the heart to be ambassadors of
God. InJin Nim explained that natural witnessing starts
by building true relationships with others. Also before
one witnesses or does outreach, if they are living a life
with confidence and feel happiness and growth, they will
naturally attract people through their lifestyle. If we live a
life centered on the principle we can have direct impacts
on other peoples’ lives.
She mentioned that many times we forget that the
purpose of our existence is joy and that at the end of the
day what is important is to feel loved and confident about
one’s destiny. She also spoke about the kind of education
that could be powerful in the future.
Through her speech she gave much hope and
encouragement to all the CARP members. The meeting
concluded with a group picture and a buffet dinner.

New York District Visit (Camp Sunrise)
September 28, 2008
InJin Nim spoke at the outdoor Sunday Service held
at Camp Sunrise on September 28 for the New York
district (district director = Bruce Grodner). She gave
encouragement to the families gathered and gave dreams
and hope to their children.
During this outdoor service, over 100 middle and
high school students who had gathered for the “2nd
Generation Fall Festival” from surrounding states came
together with their parents, totaling over 800 members.
Hyo Jin Nim’s children, Shin Chul, Shin Yeo, Shin Hung
and Shin Soon also attended the service.
Dr. Pyeong Hwa Kim, who had returned from Kodiak
the night before, talked about True Parents’ current
situation, how they are healthy despite the recent
helicopter accident.
Next, Rev. Jenkins introduced InJin Nim saying, “InJin
Nim wants to know all the members, from the eldest to
the youngest children. That’s how much love she has and
she is deeply inspiring members. She is giving dreams and
hopes to the young people.”
................... Summary of InJin Nim’s speech ......................
When I saw Dr and Dr Kim, I saw how happy they
were to be coming back from spending intimate,
wonderful time with True Parents. He really loves the 1st
generation more than his children. So when I see True
Parents’ heart of wanting their children to really invest
and not spend time with them, but to really invest in the
membership, I realize how much True Parents really love
all of you.
True Parents have invested a lot for Washington Times
to save the world from communism. And as a Carp leader
HyoJin Nim hated to have to fight Communism in front
of the Berlin Wall.
HyoJin Nim also tried to strategize a way to influence
America through Media. Right now most of the young
14
kids are accepting various cultures like Rock and Roll but
it is because of HyoJin Nim’s influence that we are able to
recreate this kind of culture into our own.
We can influence the American society by making an
Ideal Family. Ideal Family means, I deal with family. I deal
with spouse. I deal with children. When you overcome all
problems we grow. Let us all become leaders by having the
sacrificial heart within our family, schools or in our society.
There are times when we have suffered but up until now
when we come together to overcome those sufferings, that
suffering comes to have a special meaning and we are able
to accept it with beauty. From now we will all overcome
those difficulties.
You are all specially chosen people. You are all spiritual
winners and the hero of this nation. The 2nd generation
will come to respect their parent’s sacrificial life and will be
harvest the seed of the fruit that their parents have planted.
There was this 22-year-old young student who having
graduated from college, looking toward applying to
graduate program, and realizing her financial situation, that
she had no money to pay for graduate school. She came on
CNN, on national TV, seeking highest bidders to the right
to have her purity to pay for her education.
She said that when she was a young girl she was believed
in possibility of romantic love but now she realized that
it wasn’t worth the value. And my friend who saw this on
CNN was lamented seeing the realization of America. We
as a community must influence the world with the value
of a Ideal Family. We have had great events, successful
companies, sacrificing and volunteering is important but
we a person who can practice an ideal family is a true
representative of True Parents.
We have to be proud of being the product of the
Unification Mass Wedding. I know that there are a lot
of wonderful 2nd generations who will become great
ministers in the future. You are all uniquely talented, gifted
and uniquely blessed. I really hope that you can all help me
15
in making our parents life a more meaningful, and also help
to be able to receive respect from the society.
There is a black American senator and a women vice
president candidate in America. There are many changes
going on in this world. We have not time for confusion.
The beautiful lifestyle of the blessed families will become
the teaching and lesson to the world.
The people feel that the 2nd generations are an attractive
fruit of true love and they will want to be a part of us. That
is natural witnessing.
Our True Parents and the 1st generation have shed their
blood, sweat and tears, so now it is time for us to harvest.
The children now are becoming the “Show me the money
generation” but we have to raise our children to be the
“Generation of Peace”. “Generation Peace” must be able to
reject violence and be able to embrace other religions and
cultures. With this kind of great spirit we can influence the
people of the world and vision the hope of world peace.
................................................................................................
After the service, there was a cultural performance
in which ten teams of children and adolescents sang,
danced and a put on a Tongil Mudo exhibition. After the
performance, Dr. Pyeong Hwa Kim invited InJin Nim to
the stage and they sang ‘Saranghae’ together, which is one
of Father’s favorite songs.
After lunch, InJin Nim met and spoke with a long line of
members and conveyed True Parents’ love for them. She
showed interest in childrens’ talents and encouraged them
to become the best in their fields. When a 2nd generation
church pastor who graduated UTS and is driving a taxi to
pay his bills went to greet InJin Nim alone, she called his
whole family and gave them encouragement. InJin Nim
lined up six siblings born in consecutive years in order,
from oldest to youngest, shook their hands and asked their
names.
InJin Nim remembered meeting one of the members a
16
few days ago. InJin Nim recognized one member whom she
knew from many years in the past saying, “You have grown
a beard but I recognize your face.” When she said that, the
member started crying and could not speak properly. InJin
Nim held his hands tightly and comforted him warmly.

A mother of a young child who said that her child is

good at drawing promised to send InJin Nim one of her
child’s works when InJin Nim showed interest in her child’s
ability.

After InJin Nim had spoken with all the members who
had lined up to speak with her, she took a commemorative
photo with members and left Camp Sunrise around 5pm.

Because the day’s schedule took longer than expected,

the Town Hall Meeting was postponed to the next
opportunity.
