Just like the spring flowers that burst into bloom without fail despite the last cold snap, heralding the coming of spring, the overseas brothers and sisters visited Korea in 2012, too, telling us this prophetic time.

On Apr. 16, the 57th Overseas Visiting Group members arrived in Korea one after another. They flew from afar like clouds, like doves to their nests, to see the glory of Jerusalem Mother, according to the prophecies of the Bible. Mother welcomed Her children warmly and expressed Her thanks to them for coming to Korea despite their busy schedules and difficult circumstances. Mother also asked each of them how other members in their country were doing, and She always set them the example of giving glory to God and serving the members.

The 57th Visiting Group consisted of 204 overseas members from 73 Churches of God in 17 countries in Europe and North America, including the countries such as Greece, Hungary, Romania and Estonia from which the members visited Korea for the first time. They experienced Mother’s love, participating in the Bible seminars at the Okchecon Go&Come Training institute and the Elohim Training institute where the spring flowers were in full bloom. They also engraved the sacrifice of Heavenly Father and Mother in their hearts while visiting the History Museum and watching the videos for education. Additionally, they also observed the present status of the gospel and had a joyful reunion with Korean members by visiting the New Jerusalem Temple and some other local Churches. Brother Patrick from Essen, Germany, said, “Every moment with Mother and many Korean brothers and sisters, I felt Mother’s love deep in my soul and I also felt in my heart that we are truly the heavenly family.”

Mother took great care of the overseas members who came from far-away countries, so that they would not feel any inconvenience during their stay in Korea. They said, “Through Mother who is the reality of the Teachings of Mother, we’ve come to clearly realize what it really means to love, serve and be considerate of others,” “While staying in Mother’s warm love, we felt so peaceful and happy as if we were in heaven.” Following the example of Mother, they tried to practice loving, serving, and being considerate of one another. As they always praised Mother for Her glory, revered Her and showed their love for Her, the Korean members who accompanied them were also moved a lot.

Especially during the event titled “To the World! To Jerusalem!” which was held at the Okcheon Go&Come Training Institute on Apr. 22, the overseas members engraved the mission of world evangelism deep in their hearts, along with over 25,000 Korean members. The overseas brothers and sisters gave thanks to God for having chosen them to display the glory of Jerusalem Mother, and they returned home with a great ambition to preach the glory of Jerusalem to people in their countries and throughout the world by putting Mother’s love into practice.
