To all those people reading this who know very little about The Family International, as a General Member, all I can say is they are a splendid bunch of people with only one aim, and that is to follow a clean Christian lifestyle. I have witnessed this and can say I’m proud to be a part of it!

Thanks to The Family, I have been able to find comfort in the words of Jesus, I have been able to study the Bible and finally, I have now found spiritual peace.

By one of the Japan PMA mentors:

Actually it amazed me that Jesus and the CGO board would have four days from October 13th to 16th to have a graduation for the PMA students, as everyone is quite busy and needed in their homes.

Set in the beautiful and exclusive mountain resort of Karuizawa, in an amazing resort home of a friend that included a chapel on the property, we had time to stop. We had:

• Feeding word times;
• Rocking inspirations;
• A beautiful graduating ceremony;
• Delicious meals together;
• Crazy activity nights with dancing together;

Meditations, hiking, biking and liking each other who fought hard for 4 months to complete the course. Jesus made the time restful, inspiring, unifying and envisioning for us. Now, we will use what we learned.

The Lord always gets and gives much more out of what we give Him.

For many of my best friends and even missionary acquaintances I have found two things true at this time of Family history: Change is inevitable and the results of these changes are unpredictable. Myself included, I do not know what the future holds but i could not have asked for a better change that broadens the scope of opportunity to effect change in a fast paced global egomaniacal society where souls are lost at a greater rate than those starving of malnutrition.

With these new opportunities granted through the Change Program comes a much greater responsibility to make sure you are strong enough to change and to more importantly effect positive and lasting change where you are.

One thing that is now history is an elitist perception that what we have done is enough to guarantee success in the future, that bottle has been shattered. The future is what we make it, if we want the world to realize our new Offensive and image, we need to build what we have been called to build, that flock, that soul nurtured and fed and, that life free from its past torment.

Here is a loud shout to all those ready on the starting line of opportunity, may we all succeed in the Mission. Albert Einstein said that ‘great spirits are always fought by mediocre minds’ We all know how true this was for the revolutionary theories he brought to the science community, what greater truth do we have to offer and what greater opposition do we have to tackle, but what greater satisfaction is there then bear and share the seal of salvation and eternal life to the whole world.

Yo solo quiero decir que la Familia es algo maravilloso, y que podran decire lo que quieran sobre nosotros y esta bien por todos tienen derecho de opinar pero yo vivo dentro de ella hace 10 Años de mi vida y como en todo lugar hay problemas y dificultades pero SI REINAN EL AMOR, LA INTEGRIDAD, Y LA VISION DE TRANSFORMAR este mundo decadente y algo mejor………Mejor dicho Yo vivo una parte del CIELO EN LA TIERRA GRACIAS A MI QUERIDA Y ADMIRADA FAMILIA

Read on for the English translation:

“I just want to say that the Family is something wonderful. They might say what they want about us, and that’s fine, since everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I have lived in it for the past 10 years. As in any other place, there are problems an difficulties, but the reigning qualities are love, integrity and the vision of transforming this decadent world. To say it better… I live a little bit of Heaven on Earth thanks to my dear and admired Family International.”
