First Disciple of True Father in South Korea

Rev. Lee’s Introduction

My name is Sang Yeol Lee. I come from Korea. I stand here today, with a very special instruction from the King. I stand here today to introduce the person who True Father witnessed first, after he came down from North Korea and built his hut on a hillside in Pusan.

I like to I like to briefly introduce the history of Mrs. Kang Hyun Shil here.

Mrs. Kang was born on October 1, 1927 in Yongju, South Korea to a Christian family. She Graduated from the Goryo Theological Seminary in March 1949. This Seminary was established by Christians, who refused to worship at Shinto Shrines during the Japanese Occupation. Christians, who refused to do that, were imprisoned; but, after coming out of prison, they established this Seminary.

This was a Presbyterian Seminary, and while she was a student there, she already became an Evangelist, and pioneered the Beomcheol Presbyterian Church in Pusan, South Korea. Mrs. Kang’s father was one of the Christians who refused to worship at Shinto Shrines and was imprisoned as a result, and was tortured severely while in prison. They released him, when he was about to die. They did not want him to die in prison. He would become a martyr; so, they released him, and he died shortly thereafter, because of his torture. She has inherited that strong faith of her father. The word “Pom” means tiger; so, this geographical name comes from the fact that tigers would appear there.

After she graduated from Seminary, she worked in her Church as an Evangelist. One day, one of the Seminarians entered her Church, and came to her and said, “In my neighborhood, there’s a house actually; and, there’s a man living there, and he’s actually a handsome man, and the way he talks. He sounds like he believed in Jesus; but, I don’t think he is going to any Church, but he saying some very strange things.”

So, Mrs. Kang prayed for seven days to asked God whether or not she should go visit this man. Then finally, she did. She found out he was living in a house made of mud and rocks, and some corrugated cardboard, and iron on the roof, that kind of hut. When Father saw her, he said to her, “God has been giving you a great deal of love for the past seven years.” She said to herself, “He doesn’t look like a fortune teller; but, he sounds like one.”

Father’s age was thirty-three by the Korean way of counting, and Mrs. Kang was twenty-six; and so, she listened to him for a while, and she stood up, and was about to leave; but, Father grabbed her skirt and said, “Stay for dinner;” and, so she ate dinner that day. Father, at the beginning of the meal asked Mrs. Kang to pray; but, she said, “No, I don’t think I can.” So, Father prayed for the meal; but, Mrs. Kang was very moved by Father’s prayer. She realized, in the past, all her prayers have been asking God for things. “Give me this. I want this. I want that;” but, Father’s prayer, he did not ask for anything. He was telling God, “I will do this for you. I will do this for you. I will do this for you.” She was deeply moved by it.

And, Father spoke to her about the Principle. When people come to our Church, we talk about the General Introduction; then we go chapter by chapter; but, that day Father gave her the lecture on the Second Coming, the last chapter. That is where he began. He told her, when the Lord of the Second Advent comes, he is not going to come on the Clouds with trumpets. Instead, he is going to come as a man, as a human being, and he is going to come to Korea; but, in her heart, she felt, “I’m sure God has a lot better places to send the Messiah than a poor country like Korea.”

Now, Father and Mrs. Kang were in a very small hut, and she was the only one listening to Father. She says, when Father was talking to her, he spoke with such passion, it’s as if he was speaking to the entire world population, which was 2.4 billion at that time, plus everyone in the Spirit World. So, on May 10, 1952 she became the first person in South Korea to accept Father as the Messiah. Please give her a big round of applause. Kamsa Hamnida!

Then, in August 1952, she was expelled from Goryo Seminary. Then, in 1953 in July, she went to pioneer the Unification Church in the city of Daegu.  In this instance, this was the first order for someone to go pioneer the Church. The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, was established on May 1, 1954; so, she was pioneering churches even before that.

In 1954, in April 1954, she began visiting Christian Churches as other denominations of Christian Churches as an Itinerary Worker to witness to them. In 1956, she pioneered the Unification Church in the city of Taejeon. In 1957, she pioneered churches in the city of Gwangju. In July 1959, she began preaching every day at the Pagoda Park in Seoul. This is a park located in the center of Seoul; and, she preached there every day for seven years rain or shine. In July 1967, she was appointed as the Regional leader in the area of Masan, and she began doing Pastoral work there. Then in July 1970, she pioneered the church in Pusanjin.

In January of 1971, she was appointed as special Itinerary Worker for all of Korea. In 1974, she began working for interfaith work for the inter denomination association, and she worked there for twenty years. In 1991, she was appointed as an Itinerate Worker for Japan, and she began working in Japan. From March of 1994, she was appointed as the responsible person for the East Tokyo Region.

In August 1996, she was appointed as the National Messiah for Russia, and she worked there for four years. In the year 2,000 she was appointed in the Seodae-Mun Region in Seoul. Then in 2001, she was appointed as the responsible person for Home town of Yongju. From 2001 until the present she has been an advisor for the Women’s Federation for World Peace. Mrs. Kang has been Blessed by Father to St. Augustine. For 65 years, she has worked with absolute faith to accomplish True Father’s will.

She had to overcome many difficulties in order to be here with us, today; but, she wanted to be here, because she wanted to uphold Father’s Word, the Second King and the True Cain. Rev. Lee feels this way.

Father began the Providence in South Korea in Pusan. The Second King has begun his Providence in the wilderness of Pennsylvania. He and True Cain, Kook Jin Nim, has followed True Father with absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, and has set that vertical condition. Horizontally has set up the Foundation of Substance through the victory of Donald Trump as the forty-fifth President of the United States.

Therefore, I think that is why Father has called Mrs. Kang here, so that the First and Second Kingships can be represented together as the Cheon Il Goong Palace has opened on January 1, 2017.
