The 3-Day Hyojeong Cheonshim Resonance Prayer Special Philippines Workshop, organized by the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) Philippines and the Hyojeong CheonBo Asia Pacific Branch, was successfully conducted from July 17 to 19, 2026, at the Philippine Regional Headquarters in Quezon City. The workshop brought together 245 participants onsite and 260 participants online from different churches across the Philippines to deepen their spiritual lives through prayer, Chanyang Yeoksa, Cheonshim Won (CSW) devotion, and guidance from church leaders.

The workshop officially began with a Chanyang Yeoksa Session, creating an atmosphere of praise, repentance, and spiritual renewal. This was followed by the Cheonshim Won Vigil Prayer, which was connected live with CheonBo Korea. The vigil provided participants with an opportunity for heartfelt prayer, spiritual cleansing, and preparation for the main workshop activities.

During the opening program on the second day, Rev. Leo Angelo Halog, Regional Director of FFWPU Philippines, delivered his welcoming remarks. He emphasized that Heavenly Parent is now substantially present on earth through True Parents, making it essential for all blessed families and members to resonate with the heart and spirit of True Parents. He encouraged everyone to unite completely with True Mother and actively contribute to advancing God’s providence in the Philippines. Rev. Halog also highlighted that the unwavering faith and unity of brothers and sisters around the world give strength and encouragement to True Mother as she continues to lead the providence. He reminded the participants that the workshop was not merely an event to attend, but a sacred opportunity to attend Heavenly Parent with sincere hearts.

The participants were then inspired by a special song presentation from the 7-Day Spiritual Growth Workshop participants.

During his Special Message, Dr. Julius Malicdem, Vice Continental Director of FFWPU Asia Pacific, emphasized that the workshop was a precious opportunity for participants to resonate with the heart of Heaven. He explained that true resonance begins by understanding and feeling the pain and sorrow of Heavenly Parent and True Parents, and by offering sincere devotion to support Holy Mother Han and the fulfillment of God’s providence. Dr. Malicdem reminded the participants that they cannot accomplish the providential mission through their own strength alone. Although human abilities and resources are limited, he stressed that victory is possible through the support of Absolute Good Spirits and blessed ancestors in the spiritual world. He encouraged everyone to recognize that each participant plays an important role in offering national conditions to support True Mother and the providence.

Dr. Kim In Cheon, President of the Hyojeong CheonBo Asia Pacific Branch, also delivered the keynote address, explaining the importance of Ancestor Liberation as a means of cleansing one’s spiritual lineage and creating a stronger foundation for receiving Heavenly Parent’s grace. He encouraged everyone to cultivate hearts of understanding, forgiveness, and restoration through unity with one another and with Heaven. Furthermore, he reminded the participants that they are called to become the extension bodies of Heavenly Parent and True Parents by faithfully maintaining their Cheon Shim Won (CSW) devotion and prayer life. He urged everyone to remain steadfast and never waver in their faith despite challenges, expressing his confidence that such unwavering devotion would lead to total victory for God’s providence. His message was filled with hope and encouragement, declaring that something good is coming to the Philippines as a result of the members’ sincere faith, unity, and devotion.

The morning continued with the Cheonshim Resonance Prayer, giving participants an opportunity to unite their hearts in sincere devotion and prayer. Members also shared Hyojeong Testimonies, recounting inspiring experiences of faith and spiritual growth. This was followed by the Calling Prayer for Holy Mother Han, during which participants offered sincere prayers for Heavenly Parent’s providence and the success of True Mother’s worldwide mission. In the evening, participants gathered for the CSW Song Praise led by the Heavenly Top Gun Asia Pacific and Cheonshim Relay Prayer, where many shed tears in prayer, sang CSW songs wholeheartedly, offered full-bow conditions, and shared testimonies of faith.

On the third day, participants joined the HJ Offering Ceremony and the Ancestor Liberation Ceremony, during which they offered sincere devotion while seeking spiritual liberation and healing for their ancestors. They also watched a summary video of the 7-Day Spirituality Workshop.

Rev. Yutaka Yamada, Continental Director of FFWPU Asia Pacific, delivered a heartfelt message emphasizing that True Mother, despite being the one who most needs comfort, continues to comfort and encourage her children first. He explained that True Mother’s words, “Please do not worry,” doesn’t mean to stop praying but a call to transform concerns into sincere prayer and active participation in fulfilling Heaven’s will by strengthening families, churches, and future generations. Reaffirming True Mother’s unwavering faith that Heavenly Parent is alive and will surely fulfill His dream on earth, he encouraged everyone to embrace three commitments: to transform worry into prayer and mission, to practice true love within the family and community, and to become a light that is trusted by the local community and the nation.

In his Special Lecture entitled “Waking Up in the Age of Spirituality: Reclaiming Our Mind from Central Evil Spirits,” Dr. Kim In Cheon emphasized the importance of overcoming spiritual distractions and restoring one’s original mind through sincere devotion. He explained that constant comparison and the endless noise of modern technology gradually exhaust the soul, asking participants to reflect on whether merely spending time on smartphones can truly 

accomplish Heaven’s work or liberate them from the influence of central evil spirits. Although society is surrounded by information, he noted that many people continue to experience spiritual thirst, hunger, and ignorance because the answers they seek can only be found within their inner selves through a genuine relationship with Heavenly Parent. Dr. Kim encouraged everyone to “turn off the noise” and tune their hearts to Cheon Shim Won, where heartfelt prayer becomes the unique channel to God. He concluded by reminding participants that true spiritual conviction cannot be given by others but must be cultivated personally, and that the ultimate measure of faith is not extraordinary spiritual experiences but a substantial transformation reflected in daily life through sincerity, devotion, and righteous action.

Certificates were also awarded to the participants of the Japan Global Leadership Program, who are now ready to be deployed to their respective mission countries. One representative also shared a heartfelt testimony about her experiences in the Philippines and her determination to fulfill True Mother’s wishes through her future mission.

The workshop concluded with the Cheonshim Resonating Unison Prayer, where participants united in song, prayer, and renewed determination. The session ended with the Benediction Prayer offered by Rev. Leo Angelo Halog, followed by the Four Cheers of Eok Mansei, led by Rev. Jun Young Teves, Director of the Future Generation Department of FFWPU Philippines.

The 3-Day Hyojeong Cheonshim Resonance Prayer Special Philippines Workshop served as a significant opportunity for participants to deepen their relationship with Heavenly Parent and True Parents through prayer, Chanyang Yeoksa, Ancestor Liberation, spiritual lectures, testimonies, and praise worship. Throughout the three days, participants experienced an atmosphere of repentance, renewal, unity, and spiritual growth.

The workshop strengthened the participants’ faith, renewed their commitment to God’s providence, and encouraged them to continue practicing a life of sincere devotion and prayer upon returning to their respective mission areas. It also reinforced the importance of maintaining a heart of attendance, living for the sake of others, and actively supporting the realization of Cheon Il Guk through daily spiritual practice. 

HJ TESTIMONY

Namfon Saensaar, 1st gen HTG Missionary

Before this, I had been feeling very tired and constantly overthinking. I became afraid and worried that I would not be able to fulfill my portion of responsibility well. At times, without realizing it, I allowed Satan to influence my heart. Even though everyone told me that I was doing well, deep inside I knew that I had not given my very best. Those thoughts filled me with anxiety. However, after joining the Chanyang team, something changed. 

From the very beginning of our practice, my back pain disappeared, as if the angels had taken it away. I had practiced Chanyang many times while I was in Thailand, but I never had the opportunity to serve on stage because I was also responsible for assisting with Ansu. This was my very first time. Although I made some mistakes, I felt that God had opened another path for me to deepen my connection with Heaven. Through serving in Ansu, I felt as though I had reconnected with Heaven once again. Just as before, I continued to see different colors of light around the areas where I was giving Ansu. What surprised me this time was that I saw my own hands glowing yellow, and I also saw a yellow light coming from the back of one person receiving Ansu. I do not know the meaning of what I saw, but this experience made my life goal much clearer. After completing my one-year mission and receiving the Blessing, I hope to go to Korea to seriously study and train in Ansu.

One of the greatest realizations I received was about the importance of sincere prayer. When Mr. Kim In-chon said that the HTG members need to pray more, it deeply challenged me to reflect on myself. I realized that God can truly work through us when we pray and sincerely report to Him. Yet during my most difficult moments, instead of praying and reporting honestly to God, I often kept everything to myself. Looking back, I feel truly repentant that I was unable to pray from the depths of my heart.

One day, I prayed to God and said, “Please allow me to speak with my ancestors for a moment.” I told them, “Thank you for making conditions for me. Please wait for me a little longer. I believe that after I receive the Blessing, I will be able to liberate you. Right now, I am so tired… could you please give me a hug?” As I prayed, tears began to flow without me even realizing it.My new determination is to pray more sincerely, to strengthen my relationship with God, and to fulfill the responsibility He has entrusted to me with all my heart, gratitude, faith, and love.
