Editor's Notes
- Let’s give a special thanks to our True Parents, who have created a foundation within their time on earth that lets us go to any country in the world and be greeted by brothers and sisters. Let’s also thank those members of the True Family who connect us to the True Life, True Love and True Lineage of our True Parents.
- This is a report on how the Church in Korea is moving in the direction of becoming a successful and a more member-oriented church.
- True Parents instructed Kook Jin Nim to assist International President Hyung Jin Nim in matters concerning organizational development. So in 2007, Kook Jin Nim toured 160 Unification Church congregations in Korea, together with a team of professional advisers, to assess the state of the Korean Church and its prospects for the future. Forty of these visits were made without giving advance notice to the church being visited. What he found was that many of the buildings were small and in poor repair, the leadership lacked qualifications, many congregations had very few members, most churches could not afford to pay their own pastor and sustain themselves financially, and there was a lack of modern management systems. The conclusion he reached was that there was little prospect for growth without major innovations and restructuring.
- The solutions he proposed were to consolidate the churches, develop a more bottom-up process for the development of the methods and materials needed to achieve goad set by True Parents, and encourage a culture of giving and violunterring.

- The First step was to down size the headquarters. Many functions that had traditionally been in the headquarters were transferred to Cheon Bok Gung. This way the needs and experience of the filed can become primary in developing methods and materials to be used in witnessing and member education. The vision for the future is to have a church similar to Cheon Bok Gung in every major city in Korea. Then these churches will be able to compete in developing the best methods and materials. The role of headquarters then will be to identify successful cases and spread these to other churches.
- The next step was to consolidate local congregations throughout the country. In this chart, “Seoul” includes three regions that are in the city of Seoul. Compared to June 2008, when CARP was merged into the church, 236 churches were merged into other churches.
- The headquarters adopted a modern budget management system.
- A performance management system called KPI was adopted. KPI is a process of setting goals and monitoring the progress toward those goals. The chart above is for illustration purposes only and does not necessarily represent the way KPI is implemented now. In the KPI score for each church in this chart, a 90-percent weight is given to quantifiable goals, such as witnessing and worship attendance. A 10-percent weight is given to more subjective items. In this chart “seonghwa” refers to middle and high school students.
- The scores for each church in the region are used to derive a schore for the region. At the end of the evaluation period, for example at the end of the year, the regions are ranked and the regional leader who is at the bottom of this ranking is relieved of his postion and invited to become a church leader. The ministers of the two churches that place highest in the KPI ranking for churches go to the region where there is now a vacancy in the regional leader position, and the members vote on which of these two they would like to have as their new regional leader. All pastors go through a similar process, and a certain number of people who ranked lowest at the end of the evaluation period are relieved of their positions. Kook Jin Nim’s firm policy is that every person whose salary is paid from public funds must justify that salary with results. The person must be evaluated periodically on the basis of those results. And every time there is an evaluation, personnel decisions must be made based on the evaluation.
- These revolutionary changes in the Korean church have produced dramatic improvements. The statistics above are for South Korea nationwide.
- The Korean Church has always been subsidized using offerings from the Japanese members. In September 2009, however, the Korean Church officially notified the Tongil Foundation that it no longer wanted to receive this subsidy. So for the first time in its history, the Korean Church is supported entirely by Korean members. More local congregations are able to support their minister with a living wage, pay the maintenance costs on their buildings and other costs. So far, renovations have been completed on some two dozen churches, and more are in progress. In the renovated churches, members find it easier to bring Ambassadors for Peace and other high level people. Despite these successes, a few people are spreading false reports and unfairly criticizing International President Hyung Jin Nim, Foundation Chairman Kook Jin Nim and the people working under them. The pattern is that the more a person works for God and True Parents and the more loyalty a person shows for True Parents the more the person is criticized. The author of this presentation has not been the subject of such criticism and so feels jealous toward those who have earned such acknowledgement from Satan’s people. He hpoes Satan’s people will find this report a worthy target for unjust criticism.
- To end this report, I would like to show some recent photographs of Beom Il Jeon, the building in Busan, that commemorates the mud and cardboard structure that True Father built in Beom Net Kol in 1951 to begin his ministry in South Korea.
- When these photos were taken in October 2010, the building was in the final stages of renovation. The money for this renovation came from the Blessing Donations of members worldwide. In the past, whenever there was a Church event, the Church would go to True Father and say “This is how much the event is going to cost, so please give us the money.” This is no longer the case. Now the Blessings and other events are paid for with donations from the people who participate in them. And the Korean Church colledts quite a bit more in ddonatoins than it spends on the events. The surplus is placed in a separate account, and expenditures from this account are done with True Father’s approval. True Father has given his approval for money from this account to be used to renovate Holy Grounds around Korea.
- So it is not only Beom Il Jeon. At the Weon Jeon in Paju, a small house has been built for True Parents to rest when they visit. This house also contains toilet facilities for members and a parking lot. Also, True Father’s boarding house in Seoul’s Heukseok Dong neighborhood, where he lived whild attending high school in Seoul, is being preserved.
- Here you see workmen putting in place the glass encasement around the boulder.

- An official dedication ceremony for the renovated building has been scheduled for November 21, 2010.
- Let’s offer our gratitude to True Parents once again for the foundation they have built.
