The HJ Cheonju Blessing, with the participation of FFWPU Philippines, was successfully conducted with a total of eighteen (18) couples and one (1) participant in the Physical and Spirit World Blessing, representing diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, who formally received the Blessing on May 2, 2026. The main ceremony was held at Cheongshim Peace World Center in Cheongpyeong, Korea, and was simultaneously attended via satellite at FFWPU Philippines Headquarters.

Prior to the Blessing, on April 30, 2026, participants gathered at Fumisen Restaurant for a welcome reception attended by all Blessing candidates and guests. The gathering provided an opportunity for participants to become acquainted with one another and to be formally introduced to the Blessing staff. The occasion was marked by a warm and joyful atmosphere, where couples also shared moments of fellowship through singing and meaningful interaction.

On the second day, May 1, 2026, a Blessing Education program was facilitated by BFD Philippines to educate, inspire, and further prepare the couples for the upcoming Blessing Ceremony. Rev. Ronnie Sodusta delivered a heartfelt testimony on his personal journey through the matching process, receiving the Blessing, and building a family centered on faith. He also shared how he came to deeply appreciate his wife’s family and how he was first inspired by the harmony and values demonstrated within their household.

Another lecture was delivered via Zoom by Mr. Andrew Love, who emphasized the sacred value of sexuality as a central aspect of life, particularly in relation to the lineage established through the union of Blessed couples. This was followed by a lecture from Dr. Rahim Mirshahi, who highlighted the significance and value of the Blessing, with emphasis on the original ideal of Heavenly Parent and the engrafting of pure lineage into the new olive tree.

The highlight of the Blessing Education was when the couples received the Holy Wine, which emphasized that the Blessing participants had established the condition of having gone through the course of restoration by indemnity. It was successfully facilitated by Rev. John Rhodbert Gregorio and Mrs. Catherine Gregorio.

On May 2, 2026, the Day of the Blessing, the couples prepared with joyful hearts and participated in the ceremony at FFWPU Philippines Headquarters via satellite, together with their parents and guests. Following the main ceremony, a Chastening Ceremony was conducted. Prior to its commencement, Pastor Julius Escleto provided an explanation on the significance of the ceremony for all first-generation and intergenerational couples.

A Gala Night was subsequently held at the same venue to commemorate and celebrate the Blessing ceremony. The evening was marked by a spirit of joy and reflection, as the newly Blessed couples looked forward with hope and commitment to their journey together following the Blessing. A toast of victory was led by Rev. Sodusta, who extended his warm congratulations to all the newly Blessed couples, acknowledging their grace-filled milestone and encouraging them in their new beginning.

On May 3, during the Sunday Service, the couples also participated in worship at the FFWPU Headquarters. Following the service, all Blessed couples and guests departed with joyful and grateful hearts, carrying with them the spiritual significance of the experience.

Mrs. Catherine Gregorio shared her reflections on the Blessing, describing the 2026 HJ Cheonju Blessing as “a monumental testimony of faith, unity, and devotion.” She emphasized that the success of the event was made possible through a year of careful preparation, continuous prayer, sacrifice, and perseverance among staff and local leaders, all of whom worked in unity with hearts aligned to Heaven’s will.

In conclusion, Mrs. Gregorio expressed that the three-day culmination was more than a ceremonial event. Rather, it represented the fruition of dedicated efforts and the “flowering of seeds” sown through devotion and unity. She further reflected that when individuals come together as one family under Heaven, they are able to manifest and experience Heaven’s love on earth.
