With sincere gratitude to Heavenly Parent and True Parents, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) Northern Mindanao joyfully presents this narrative report highlighting the meaningful activities and providential accomplishments conducted from June 1 to 15.

The first week of June, specifically from June 1 to 6, was dedicated to a series of family visitations conducted in the areas of Valencia, Libona, Cagayan de Oro, and Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental. A total of four families were personally visited and attended to through sincere fellowship, sharing, and heartistic connection led by the chirh Head Pastor, Sylvia Olmillo-Deapera..

These family visitations were not merely organizational activities, but meaningful opportunities to strengthen relationships, deepen spiritual attendance, and affirm the value of every blessed family within the community. Through these encounters, families were encouraged toward HDH participation, Cheon Shim Won attendance, and renewed engagement in the life of faith and community living.

The visitation activities also became avenues for meaningful conversations regarding possible partnerships and collaborative community service initiatives in the future. More importantly, the motivation behind these efforts was to help families feel valued, connected, understood, and truly belonging within the wider Heavenly Parent and True Parents’ community.

Following these meaningful visitations, another significant outreach activity was successfully conducted through the distribution of basic school supplies to approximately fifty (50) deprived, depressed, and underprivileged students of Manticao National High School.

This humanitarian and educational outreach was warmly facilitated through the dynamic leadership and accommodation of Officer-In-Charge Mrs. Honey Shalinie Nale, whose openness and support greatly contributed to the success of the activity.

The successful implementation of this outreach activity was also made possible through the collaborative initiatives, heartfelt efforts, and generous financial support extended to the CDO Family Church of Northern Mindanao by Digitribe CEO Mr. Errol Delmonte, WFWP Philippines President Prof. Juvy Delmonte, and Future Generation Director for the Philippines Mr. Jun Young Teves. Their sincere support and shared commitment toward educational assistance, youth development, and community upliftment became a meaningful contribution to the realization of this humanitarian initiative.

This simple yet meaningful act of service became a living substantiation of our Unification community’s guiding principle of “Living for the Sake of Others” in concrete action. Both teachers and students expressed heartfelt joy and gratitude upon receiving the unexpected assistance, especially at a time when educational needs continue to challenge many struggling families.

The outreach delegation was composed of:
• Pastor Sylvia Deapera – Head Pastor, FFWPU Northern Mindanao
• Senior Pastor and TIMD Master Nelson Arca
• BFD Coordinator for Northern Mindanao Mrs. Loreta Mayo
• HanFil 2nd Generation member and Licensed Professional Teacher Ms. Shin Hui Jin

The entire team was warmly welcomed by the school administration and faculty members. Productive, enlightening, and future-oriented discussions were conducted particularly with faculty members assigned to sports and student development programs. These discussions eventually resulted in the exploration of a possible Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing aimed at establishing a stable and long-term partnership between FFWPU Northern Mindanao and the said government educational institution.

Indeed, these developments stand as one of the many fruits of Heavenly Parent and True Parents’ discreet yet consistent longing for the firm establishment of a Holy Community centered on love, service, education, and peace through the sincere efforts of frontline workers, devoted blessed families and members.

As the region continues to move forward, FFWPU Northern Mindanao remains committed to strengthening families, uplifting communities, supporting education, and embodying the culture of heart through practical acts of compassion, unity, and service.
While only a few members are able to physically attend the Cheon Shim Won gatherings at the main Church due to its remote location in the hinterland area of Tuod, Manticao, many blessed families continue to participate faithfully and diligently from their respective homes through united spiritual attendance and devotion.

One meaningful fruit of this consistent family participation can be seen in the testimony of the Olohoy family. Their eldest son, who had previously been distant and somewhat aloof from workshops and community activities, voluntarily attended the recently concluded Summer Leadership Training Seminar for Blessed Children held in the regional capital city. Since then, he has shown renewed openness and is now actively preparing and working on his Matching and Blessing application.

Indeed, this development serves as an inspiring testimony to the quiet yet transformative power of consistent spiritual devotion, family attendance, and sincere prayer within the home and community.

All glory and gratitude be offered to Heavenly Parent and True Parents for their continuous guidance and blessings.
