As the capital of Cheon Il Guk, the Hyojeong Cheonwon Holy Ground has been developing day by day with holy dignity and stunning beauty. Heavenly works have filled this place with jeongseong and love for 48 years and now amazing grace is being spread to the world in the new CheonBo era. After new direction came with the change of name from Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center to HJ Heaven and Earth CheonBo Training Center, Branch Training Centers were established in four Regions—in the Heavenly Asia Pacific, Heavenly Europe and the Middle East, Heavenly Africa, and Heavenly Latin America Regions. Through the work of these Branch Training Centers, CheonBo Special Events were held throughout the world, along with many other Overseas Tours and Japanese Sub-region Tours. Also this year, the opening ceremonies for CheonBo Won revealed the splendor of this special hall where visitors can experience the stories of Daemo nim and True Mother, the heavenly tribal messiahs, the training center and True Parents’ history of restoration. New developments in the training center such as the renovated Hyojeong Café and extended Tree of Love Plaza have made the training center even more versatile, convenient and beautiful. Thanks to True Parents’ special grace, ancestors from generations 1-430 are now being reborn as absolute good spirits, and new portraits of Hyo-jin nim and Heung-jin nim have brought an even more vibrant spiritual atmosphere to the Jeongshim Won prayer hall. The two brothers now greet all the members who visit the prayer hall attired in royal robes and official hats, helping us to understand the revered positions they occupy as part of the royal family in the spirit world. We would like to bring you the top ten news stories for 2019 from the HJ Heaven and Earth CheonBo Training Center.

6. The birth of absolute good spirits in our ancestors up to 430 generations by the special grace of True Parents
The fruit of jeongseong offered over 48 years of CheonBo Works is the redemptive works for the spirit world and physical world rooted in True Parents’ true love. In welcoming the new CheonBo era, an event that will be remembered for all eternity in the history of the providence, the Ancestor Blessing Ceremony for generations 1-430 was held, in an atmosphere of miracles. True Parents have given us special grace to be able to liberate up to 7 sets (49 generations) at a time, rather than the previous limit of only 1 set (7 generations) at once, so that all the Unification families can complete the blessing of their ancestors up to 430 generations and have their achievements recorded in CheonBo Won by Foundation Day in 2020. In accordance with True Parents’ guidance, Ancestor Liberation Ceremonies for generations 1-430 began from May of 2019. Following a period of 100 days during which the liberated spirits could complete the spirit world 100-day Workshop in preparation for the Blessing, the long-awaited Ancestor Blessing Ceremonies for generations 1-430 were held in spiritual splendor starting from October. With the strong support of our ancestors up to 430 generations who were reborn as absolute good spirits standing behind our heavenly tribal messiah activities, we were able to establish the spiritual foundation.

8. Jeongshim Won Prayer Vigil and Cheon Il Guk Hyojeong Won Inheritance Ceremony hosted by FFWPU for a Heavenly Korea
The passion of the members of FFWPU for a Heavenly Korea for the firm establishment to open the era of a unified, Heavenly Korea and the victory of heavenly tribal messiahs was clear in their prayer vigil for victory. The Jeongshim Won Special Prayer Room prayer vigil for Vision 2020 victory began on the 100th anniversary of Independence Day Movement (March 1), followed relay prayer vigils by all the Sub-regions for victory of the Rallies of Hope. Each night of the prayer vigils was organized by a different Church from Sub-regions all over Korea, taking turns to pray nearly every day from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. On September 1, True Parents specially called three elder leaders (Gyu-nam Park, Man-ung Cho, and Nae-cheon Park) and asked them to offer special jeongseong every day, and as a result, there were no days when lights of jeongseong were turned off at Jeongshim Won.
In addition to Jeongshim Won prayer vigil, each Sub-region held Cheon Il Guk Hyojeong Won Inheritance Ceremonies.
