Mrs. Tomiko Dugan, a UPF officer and staff member of the World Media Association, recently visited Japan following her participation in bringing a group of American pastors from ACLC (American Clergy Leadership Conference) to Korea. The pastors attended the Holy Wedding Anniversary of True Parents, the Cheon Il Guk World Blessing, and activities supporting True Mother and the Japanese Church. Originally a missionary from Japan to the United States, Mrs. Dugan has lived and served in America for more than 50 years and returned to Japan to visit her family and friends.

During the visit, Mrs. Dugan shared that although the American clergy were unable to visit the detention center of True Mother, they were able to attend the Cheon Shim Won prayer vigil, which deeply inspired them spiritually. She also exchanged experiences and reflections regarding past world mission activities and interactions with prominent leaders and VIPs, including former Republic of the Marshall Islands President Hon. Kessai Note and First Lady Mary Note.

As part of the fellowship, Mrs. Dugan enjoyed visiting historical and cultural sites together with Rev. Ito and his wife, including Himeji Castle and the Akashi Kaikyō Great Bridge. The visit provided a meaningful opportunity for sharing, reflection, and strengthening long-standing relationships centered on the mission and providence.
