A total of 360 participants joined the fellowship through different online platforms, including 87 participants via Zoom, 233 participants through Facebook Live, and 40 participants through YouTube livestream. The strong participation reflected the growing unity and active engagement of Christian leaders and families throughout the region.

The program officially began with warm welcome greetings from the emcee, Archbishop Elias T. Soria, National Coordinator of PCLC Philippines, who joyfully welcomed all participants and encouraged everyone to unite in spirit and faith throughout the fellowship.

The atmosphere was uplifted through the Call to Worship presented by the FFWPU Cavite Music Ministry, Philippines, with the inspiring song “Sailing with our Father,” preparing the hearts of the participants for worship and reflection.

The opening invocation was led by Rev. Suraj Singh, Senior Pastor of Victory Mission Fellowship, New Zealand, who offered a heartfelt prayer for God’s guidance, blessing, and protection upon all attendees, families, and nations represented in the fellowship.

Rev. Yutaka Yamada, Chairman of the PCLC Executive Committee, delivered the opening remarks. He emphasized the providential role of families in today’s world and encouraged all leaders to continue strengthening marriage and family values rooted in God’s love and truth.

The fellowship featured two inspiring messages from distinguished speakers. The first message was delivered by Rev. Dr. Mark Abernathy, National 1st Vice-Chairman of ACLC USA, who highlighted the significance of restoring families centered on God and the responsibility of faith leaders in guiding communities toward spiritual renewal and unity.

Rev. Dr. Mark Abernathy emphasized that God-centered families are the foundation of peace, unity, and salvation in the world. He explained that God’s original design was to restore humanity through the family and that the blessing of marriage is a sacred covenant that brings husbands and wives into unity with God and with one another. Sharing his personal testimony, he spoke about how the blessing transformed not only his marriage but also his children and future generations, resulting in four generations of his family serving together in ministry. He affirmed that through God’s principles and the guidance of True Parents, families can experience restoration, harmony, and God’s abundant blessings.

He further highlighted that the blessing has the power to heal relationships, reconnect generations, and restore homes to God’s original purpose as schools of love where parents and children learn unconditional love, forgiveness, and faith. Rev. Dr. Abernathy encouraged all participants to uphold God-centered family values and warned against allowing future generations to drift away from God, referring to Joshua 24:15 as a reminder for every household to faithfully serve the Lord. He concluded by inspiring everyone to become part of a growing movement of blessed families that can bring spiritual renewal, peace, and hope to communities and nations around the world.

The second message was given by Rev. Reena Das, National Coordinator of PCLC Pakistan, who shared valuable insights on faith, perseverance, and the importance of keeping God at the center of family life despite challenges and societal changes.

Rev. Reena Das shared an inspiring report on the ongoing Blessing movement and witnessing activities of PCLC Pakistan. She highlighted the active outreach to Christian pastors, ministers, bishops, and churches across Pakistan through education, fellowship, and Couple Blessing programs. Through the support of PCLC Pakistan, many clergy and Christian leaders were introduced to the value of God-centered families and the significance of the Blessing movement as a way to strengthen faith, marriage, and spiritual unity. She also presented the ministry’s educational efforts using Divine Principle and Mother’s Memoir translated into Urdu to help local pastors and members better understand the purpose and value of the Blessing.

She further shared several breakthroughs achieved through the ministry, including successful Blessing activities conducted in different churches and cathedrals throughout the country, including St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Rev. Das emphasized the importance of introducing True Parents through the Blessing movement and testified to the growing support and cooperation from Christian leaders in Pakistan. Over the past four years, the movement has expanded to 31 churches, where more than 3,700 couples and 27 pastors received the Blessing, reflecting the positive impact of true love, care, and interfaith unity within communities. Her presentation demonstrated how faith-based family values and sincere outreach efforts are bringing hope, harmony, and spiritual renewal to many families and churches in Pakistan.

Following the messages, Rev. Dr. Faalepo Tuisuga from the Congregational Christian Church of Samoa in Australia offered a representative reflection sharing. He expressed gratitude for the meaningful fellowship and shared how the messages inspired participants to strengthen their commitment to God-centered leadership and family values.

A special recognition was also given to the different watch party groups who actively joined the fellowship, namely: PCLC Thailand, PCLC Cavite Philippines, PCLC Melbourne Australia, PCLC Davao Philippines, and PCLC Solomon Islands. Their participation reflected the growing unity and cooperation among PCLC communities across the region.

The fellowship then proceeded with a commemorative photo session, capturing the joyful participation and unity of all attendees from various nations.

Before the conclusion, Rev. Gregory Stone, Secretary General of the PCLC Executive Committee, delivered the closing message. He thanked all speakers, organizers, and participants for their dedication and encouraged everyone to continue serving as instruments of God’s love and peace within their families and communities.

Important announcements regarding the upcoming Keys to the Kingdom IV program were also shared by the emcee, inviting everyone to continue participating in future PCLC educational and spiritual activities.

The program concluded with the heartfelt closing song “Me & My House” rendered by the Solomon Islands Youth Singers, followed by the closing prayer led by Rev. Bishop Dr. Suraphon Boonpratham, Chairman of the Thai Evangelical Alliance Association, Thailand, who offered prayers for continued unity, peace, and blessings upon all families and nations.
