Brothers and sisters share greetings in four foreign languages at the New Jerusalem Temple. They are all the members of the heavenly family, who understand each other in God's love just by looking at each other.

The 27th Overseas Visiting Group came to Korea to see Mother the new Jerusalem, their spiritual home. On October 22, 80 members successively arrived in Korea from fifteen cities in eight countries?from Russia , from Central and South America in the Southern Hemisphere on the opposite side of the world from Korea , from six cities in the United States , and from New Zealand . During their stay in Korea , they studied the words of truth and experienced God's love as well as brotherly love at the New Jerusalem Temple, the Head Office and the Training Institute.
From early in the morning till midnight, Mother welcomed all the members, who flew from afar like doves to their nests, with Her constant love. A sister from Peru said that when she approached Mother, she was worried because she thought, Will Mother say I love you' to a sinner like me? She expressed the overwhelming emotion she experienced, saying, My heart felt like it was going to burst when Mother hugged me, saying, Te amo (I love you).'
Mother appreciated the efforts of the overseas members who came such a long way. She told them about the work of the Holy Spirit of the latter rain that occurred during the Feast of Tabernacles, and blessed them, saying, Receive the blessing of the Holy Spirit abundantly and bear much good fruit pleasing to God as great workers when you go back.
The members from Peru, Mexico, USA and New Zealand, along with the members from Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Russia who made their first visit to Korea, asked blessings for the Churches rather than for their own wishes, and desired that the world mission be quickly accomplished. Members from eight countries studied together and gave thanks and glory to God, encouraging each other and sharing fragrances of Zion .

On October 29, they participated in the Awards Ceremony for the Fruits During the Preaching Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles, together with over 17,000 members in Korea , and witnessed the current status of the gospel accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit. When Mother said, Let the fire of the Holy Spirit keep burning and lead many souls to heaven with burning love, they said, Amen, and their hearts were also burning within themselves. They showed their determination towards the gospel, saying, The fire of the Holy Spirit is burning in our hearts hotter than during the Preaching Festival of the Feast of Tabernacles. We will diligently preach the new covenant of life and find all our lost heavenly family members.

The next day, the overseas members visited the Church of God History Museum and were all overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit. Watching videos with captions translated in English, Spanish and Russian, and hearing the guides' explanations, they inscribed the love of heavenly Father and Mother deep into their hearts. Their eyes welled up with tears when they said, Our souls have come to life through the suffering and sacrifice of our Father and Mother. We will follow the sacrificial path of Christ and bear beautiful fruit of the gospel.

Mother blessed the overseas visiting group, saying, If you return home, bear much fruit and receive much love from Father. Cherishing Mother's love and the overwhelming emotions through the Holy Spirit in their hearts, they departed from Korea . They said, We could feel we were being touched more deeply by the Holy Spirit day by day during our stay in Korea . They will spread the blazing fire of the Holy Spirit after they go back to their country, and their enthusiasm for the gospel will accelerate the speed of world evangelism.
