Dear Heavenly Parent, True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, and our Beloved True Mother Han,

With a heart full of gratitude, I would like to offer this testimony and letter of thanks for all the love, guidance, and blessings that You have bestowed upon my family.

My name is Jessylyn Dacanay Ilustrisimo, a member of the 360,000 Couples Blessing, blessed on August 25, 1995, together with my husband, Ryan Egharas Ilustrisimo. We have been blessed with five children, and through every season of our lives, I have felt Your constant presence and guidance.

First, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share my testimony and experiences through the Cheonshimwon Special Night Vigil Prayer. Through this devotion, I have received strength, hope, and inspiration to continue my life of faith.

I am also grateful for Your continuous guidance and protection over our blessed family. No matter the challenges we have faced, You have always been with us, leading us in the right direction and helping us overcome difficulties.

One of the greatest sources of inspiration in my life has been a dream I had about True Father while he was still alive. During a difficult period of my missionary life, when I was carrying many responsibilities as a church staff member, a regional missionary (Regional Commando) in the Philippines Mobile Fundraising Team, and the wife of a leader, I felt physically and emotionally exhausted.

In my dream, True Father called me from a crowded place and invited me to sit down. He gently massaged my back and told me that he was tired. Yet despite his own exhaustion, he continued caring for me. Through this experience, I realized that even when True Father was tired, he never stopped fulfilling God’s will and carrying out his mission. This became a lifelong lesson for me. Whenever I become tired or discouraged, I remember True Father’s example and gain the strength to continue forward with faith and determination.

I am also grateful for the blessings given to my children. My eldest daughter, Princess Min Mi, received the Hyojeong Cosmic Blessing on April 16, 2022, with her husband, Gou Sung Degbey, forming a Filipino-African blessed couple. Through the grace of our beloved Holy Mother Han, both received scholarships and successfully completed their college education. Today, my daughter serves as an ESL teacher at the Hyojeong Global Education Center in Antipolo, Philippines, teaching public officers and missionaries from Korea and Japan.

I am thankful that our family has remained spiritually protected and connected to True Parents through the Cheonshimwon Special Night Vigil Prayer. Despite the many challenges and divisions that exist today, our faith, devotion, sincerity, and love for Heavenly Parent, True Parents, and our beloved Holy Mother Han remain strong and unwavering.

I am also grateful that our children have had opportunities to experience missionary life and develop their faith through various providential programs. Princess Min Mi participated in Youth Leadership Training (YLT), Hyun Ryan joined the Generation Peace Academy (GPA) in the United States, and Ahn Jun participated in the Next Generation Mission (NGM) program in the United States. Seeing them grow through these experiences brings great joy to my heart.

Another great blessing came in 2021 when our family became CheonBo Victors. Despite many hardships, my husband worked tirelessly and persevered with determination. Through Heavenly Parent’s grace, we were able to liberate and bless our horizontal and vertical ancestors. This achievement remains one of the most meaningful blessings in our family’s journey of faith.

Even though my husband has often been physically far from us because of his responsibilities, I am grateful that through our devotion and prayers, Heavenly Parent and True Parents have continued to protect and unite our family in heart.

I am also deeply thankful that many of our prayers and wishes have been fulfilled. Through my husband’s sacrifices and hard work, Heavenly Parent blessed our family with a home and a vehicle that we use for our daily needs, our children’s education, and especially for our Heavenly Tribal Messiah activities and the mission of raising CheonBo Victors in Cavite, Philippines.

Lastly, I am grateful for the inspiration and guidance I have received from our beloved True Mother, Wang Omma. Through dreams, prayers, and spiritual experiences, she has taught me to persevere, to sacrifice for others, and to maintain a grateful heart at all times.

One spiritual experience that I can never forget occurred during a Cheonshimwon Special Night Vigil Prayer. As I closed my eyes in prayer, I saw a beautiful garden filled with many different flowers. I also saw a radiant purple light surrounding the area while we were offering our resonating prayer. This experience deeply touched my heart and strengthened my faith, reminding me that Heaven is always with us.

As I reflect on my life, I realize that every blessing, every victory, and even every challenge has helped me grow closer to Heavenly Parent and True Parents. For all the love, guidance, protection, and grace You have given to my family, I offer my deepest gratitude.

I pray that I may continue to live a life of faith, devotion, and service, and that my family may continue to contribute to Your providence and bring joy to Heaven.

Saranghamnida. Kamsahamnida, Heavenly Parent. Kamsahamnida, True Parents.

With love, gratitude, and sincere devotion,
