40-Day Cheon Il Guk Special Blessed Family Workshop in Cheongpyeong

After the 5^th year of Cheon Il Guk (second generation) Special Blessing Ceremony, True Parents gave four special instructions. Summarized briefly, they are:

“First, Blessed families who participated in the 4^th year of Cheon Il Guk Special Blessing Ceremony and the 5^th year of Cheon Il Guk Special Blessing Ceremony should become one in establishing an educational hall at Cheongpyeong to educate younger second generation. Second, these couples should not engage in family life for 40-days after their Blessing. Third, young couples should start family life after the age of 20. Fourth, Cheon Il Guk Special Families should participate in the 40-day workshop at Cheongpyeong and commit themselves to public activities in each of their countries for a minimum duration of 2 years and 6 months.” In relation to True Parents’ special instructions, we would like to announce the details for the 40-day workshop at Cheongpyeong for Cheon Il Guk Special Families.

All national leaders should guide and encourage the Special Blessed Families who were blessed directly by True Parents’ during the Cheon Il Guk Special Blessing Ceremony in the 4^th year (2004) and 5^th year (2005) of Cheon Il Guk, and their parents. Through the 40-day workshop at Cheongpyeong, the special blessed families should become the central Abel-type figures of Cheon Il Guk based on a lineage of purity, pure love, pure lineage and pure harmony.
