A minister must pray for the members at least once in three days. Even when Father spent almost three years in Hung Nam prison, in the midst of such hardships, Father never forgot to pray for those several members from meal time until resting time. Father continuously prayed even for those who fell away. Then such a person appeared spiritually in front of Father and mournfully reported with tears. He reported miserably that due to the weakness of flesh he had to leave Father, and said his farewell.

At such a miserable scene, Father couldn't help but to feel pity for him. Even though that person left in such a way, Father must continuously pray for that person. Why? Since that person could not fulfill the responsibility, until his successor appears I must pray for that person. As long as the foundation of devotion exists, even if a member falls away God will surely send a righteous person as a replacement.

Therefore, never be discouraged if a member falls away. A very interesting phenomenon is that if a member falls away, then a person who resembles that person's character and even the way he walks joins the church. From every angle, the new person who joins resembles amazingly the person who fell away, and yet he is much better. When we see such a phenomenon, we can understand that sincere investment and prayer is never lost. This is an absolute fact.

Whenever we meet anyone, we must not end with the meeting itself. Especially if we meet someone centering on God, we must never forget that relationship. Even if that person stops coming to the church, you shouldn't cut him off or despise him. Even if that person falls away, you must never abandon the relationship that you have made with him.

When you sincerely pray, it is better to do so for one person than for many persons. There is a big difference between praying for one person and for many people. The four different directions are different. Therefore, when there is a subject, it should decide on one object. Then, centering on that object a line should be drawn. Only then can the four directions be drawn. Until the four directions are clearly drawn, the subject must have absolute relationship with its object. A circle can be drawn only if that is achieved.

Then among the members, is there such a person? This is the problem. You must think according to the Principle. Therefore, before attempting to witness to many, think to witness from one person. Only when you have the number one object, you can have the number two object. (42-165)

The basic organizational structure for the prayer group should be four wives as one team, and twelve people from the three teams as one group. Men should organize themselves in the same numbers in conjunction with the women, and if those 24 people pray hard, then a great result will come. (1970. 4. 23)

Pray tearfully for that one life with the heart of a parent. Then surely that person will join. Through this, if you witness to one person per month, then if our membership is ten thousand now, how many hundred thousands will we be? We will become 100 thousand. In two years, we will become 1.2 million, and in three years, we will become 12 million. If so the number of our members will increase ten-fold every year. If we achieve this, then the restoration of Korea is no problem. When we think about this, we must fully march toward the goal of one person per month. (22-342)

If you pray earnestly for three people, then at least one person will join. Now is such a time. Therefore, please make a plan for the whole year, twelve months. Organize that this month, this is number one candidate, this is number two candidate, and this is the number three candidate. Mother, father, older sister, and younger brother would be included in that plan. If it is your younger brother, then you can say, "Hey, younger brother, let's go." What do you have to be concerned about? If he does not listen through persuasion, then you can even forcefully bring him here. (22-345)

The important thing is to pray. Please pray. You should think, "Because I am trying to liberate God and humanity, they should ask favors to me." You need to think that way. Do you understand? [Yes.] So, we should clean up all the habits that we picked up until now. (128-174)
