I went to America because I knew the ultimate purpose of the Communists, who advocate the overthrow of capitalism. America had to be awakened from ignorance about Communism in order for Korea, Asia, religion, and the free world to remain alive in the future. As soon as I arrived in America, God wanted to gather up support at once from the American people. As a religious leader, I could not use violence, and yet I had to work quickly, and urge the American people to decide between yes and no within a short time. I asked Japanese and Germans, historical enemies of America, to work with a conviction that if they worked to save rather than destroy America, this would remain as a great lesson in the cultural history of humankind.

American young people, spoiled by liberal pragmatism, are reluctant to do anything that does not benefit them directly. I tried to awaken them, however, by creating inspiring examples of sacrificial work through dedicated Japanese and German youths. It took three years before the American young people were moved by the young people sacrificing for God. (80.11.17)

Communist movements are spreading through American universities, and Kim Il Sung is accelerating his operations in America. His dream is to overthrow America. Among the immigrants in America, there is none who are as diligent and intelligent as Koreans. So they have much influence in the areas of politics, academia, and so on. For instance, in space research, which is the cutting edge of science, more than ten Korean scientists are involved. There are many Koreans who have influence in many areas. Hence, if the Koreans in America can be united, we will become a nation of enormous power, and through this our country will emerge as a world leader. Understanding such a potential in the Korean-American Community, Kim Il Sung is trying to embrace the Korean Americans with all kinds of secret operations and propaganda. I have been promoting VOC activities in America on a large scale in order to counteract this. (80.1.1)

The first thing I did in America was to establish a seminary to serve as the center in bringing together the academic world. What matters most in guiding the world of thought is theology and philosophy. Hence, for the five years after 1975, I made connections with 380 theologians, including European scholars, and invited ten to twenty of them every week to hold continuous seminars with our students. They came first in order to check out our church. They engaged in discussions with our students; however, they could not win over the students, although they mobilized all their skills and knowledge. Our theological students would read the works of the professors and go into discussions in different sections; after three rounds of discussions, the students would completely win over the professors.

This year, we brought together famous theologians through conferences in Hawaii, Mexico, and Africa, and on October 4th, we made an organization with 180 scholars, 35 universities, and 18 trustees. Now we have completed the basic work for the sake of helping the American world of thought.

The second thing I did in America was to bring unity in the field of law. I brought famous lawyers together. The third is media organization. Already the third Divine Principle workshop is over, and we are laying the ground work for a media organization through establishing a wire service called OFree Press International." (80.11.17)
