Foreign Missions

In the 1960s Father sent out missionaries from Korea to Japan first and soon after to the United States and Europe to begin the foundations of those nations to receive the True Parents. In March, 1975 Father chose and trained representatives from Japan, United States and Germany, or other European countries to be the representatives of the True Parents throughout the world. These first missionaries were sent to 120 nations, instructing them to live like the people of those nations, to eat their food, live in their huts or homes, and testify to the leaders of their nation.
