I can go anywhere I want without any problem. Even if I do not have any money, it is okay. I am trained in everything. Because I have such experience, I can lead many youths all around the world. Who first began fundraising? [Father] I did. Today it is the Japanese members who are doing all the financial activities, but it is I who first began. You have no excuse before me. You should not be thinking, "How do you do that? I cannot do it." Do you understand? [Yes] This is how you should carry it out.

I did all kinds of things for the sake of doing witnessing. I went to the market every day. I bumped into an elderly lady, and after she fell down, I would helped her up an took her home... I did all sorts of things. (laughter) As you follow behind her and offer to pay a visit to her house, then she will welcome you.

The fact that you cannot be successful in witnessing is a puzzling topic of research for me. You should go into a city around lunch time every day, and wail in front of the crowd at twelve o'clock, and see what happens. Every day, three or four people will come and surround you to comfort you. You should then say, "I will be able to resolve my sorrow and stop wailing if you can listen to what I have to say, but can you really take a few hours to listen to me?" Why can't you do that? Why? You are too comfortable.

For a year and half, I lived with a family that did not want me in their house, and did witnessing. This was because I realized that if I could witness to this one person, he could contribute a lot to the providence. I was willing to persevere through any kind of insult and curse; however, one usually cannot insult you more than ten times, because people have conscience. At first, they kicked me out of their door and cursed at me as I stood there; then after a while, when I moved in a little they remained silent; after that, I moved in little by little, soon sitting on their front porch and then moving into their hallway. After a while, they felt sorry because they had cursed at me so much. After the husband left for work, I would talk to the lady all day sitting in the hallway. I did not go into the rooms, at least until the husband returned. After he came back if he said, "Why did you sit out here all day?" then I would reply, "How can I go into the rooms when the owner is not here? May I go in now then?" He would smile and say, "Looking at your head it seems to me that it is all right for you to go in." You can become a friend when you can follow up with the joke, "I will go into your room to talk to the lady the next time, perhaps even tomorrow, so you better not have any suspicion." You can become friends even while you are being cursed at. Having said that, I went into the room and... When the husband came back from work, I would let the lady stand in the front and go out to greet him, adding, "Let the two of us welcome him home today."

Why can't you do it? Dr. Yoon, do you understand what I am saying? You cannot accomplish the providence for restoration if you cannot do that! You can get free meals and live there... What is bad about that? Have we stolen anything or robbed anything?

So, after the wife listens to your words, if she says, "Honey, you should listen to the words of this great man," then he will reply, "Really? Since you are constantly praising him, let me listen to him." After he listens to you once, he will be devastated. Why can't you do it? Why? It is difficult because you are trying to do it the easy way. You should not be too soft.

If there is someone in the village who does not listen to you, then you should become his friend, and making him pay attention to your words you should guide him on everything in life. You have to be good at wrestling, soccer, and everything else. You have to be good in singing also. Even if you have only met that day, you should be able to lead conversations that are so interesting that he forgets about going to school or eating lunch. So, when dinnertime comes, all of his family members will come looking for him. When they come, you should become friends with his father, mother, younger brother, older sister, or whomever is sent. Then you should go to their house. It is because you are not desperate enough; if you seek more sincerely than when you are desperately looking for food to satisfy your hunger, then anything can be done. Even a baby bird is capable of finding food to feed on when it is hungry.

Think about it. I am an interesting man. I have researched into that kind of thing a lot. Wherever I go... If I meet a grandfather in the village, then I become his friend; if I meet a grandmother, I become her friend; if I meet an older woman, I become her friend; and if I meet a young lady, I can become her friend. When I am with children, I play with them. So, those who joined the Unification Church at that time can never forget me.

Those who have given up hope on witnessing are not thinking and researching. If you truly have nothing to do, then you should initiate even some entertainment in the evening. You should come up with some program with which you can go around the villages. At least, do some entertaining activities.

So, as you enter a house, you should ask them what great person they know and after inquiring about where he or she lives, you should go to visit that house. Once you get there if you ask, "I want to have a gathering of so and so famous scholars in your living room for the sake of the village, so would you lend it to us?" they will surely have no objection. You will be the master of ceremonies. You would put on a terrific performance as an emcee. When that takes place, as the people in the village look on they will see that this young man is very talented. This is all a part of the plan. There are plenty of people that you can witness to if you do well. Do you understand what I am saying?

One day you should act like the eye, the next day like a nose, then like a mouth, then an ear, then one day like the thumb, and then like a small finger; you should play the role of all ten fingers. Including the toes there are twenty. So, how many in total? You should play the role of twenty-four different types. When someone teaches you, you should follow after them. You shouldn't have any problems.

Women should build close relationships with other women. There will not be any problem. What is so difficult about that? It is a mystery to me how you are not able to do witnessing when there are ample opportunities.

How can we live in a narrow world? How wide is this universe. You can do witnessing in such wide and interesting ways, so why are you not doing it? Do you understand what I am saying? [Yes]

I am already old and am over sixty. But even now, I will not be surpassed by young people. Therefore, I try repeatedly. I tried virtually everything; I have experience digging caves, erecting supporting posts in a house, and making charcoal.

There are plenty of things to eat on a mountain. There are many thing to eat. Even a rabbit can survive on them; how can people be unable to survive there? When you go to the countryside, there are mountains and oceans, but although there are many fish in rivers and oceans, you do not know how to catch them. I am trying to teach you all this. During the hunting season, you can go off hunting. Do you know how to shoot a rifle? [Yes] You can survive by hunting. You can feed on a bear for almost a year. Why don't you research this kind of thing?

I am trying to catch fish in America to sell them... Those people with blue eyes--I am trying to become a champion in a world where countless greedy people with blue eyes live. Is that easy? This is what I am doing. Are you or are you not confident that I can do it? [We are confident that you can do it.] I can do it.

I cannot even speak English. Still, I am doing things that no one else in this nation can do. There is nothing that I am not capable of doing in this nation. This is also how you should train yourself. So, if I were to go to South America now, don't you think that I can build a foundation there in three, four years? Even if I go to Africa, or wherever I go, I can lay the foundation within three, four years. I will do it without fail. What do you think? I possess such conviction.

Why do you think I did things like that. Why? I was determined to accomplish the Will of God no matter what happens. I was determined to carry on the providence even if I had to do physical labor or live in the slums as a beggar. No matter what path I took, I was determined to penetrate into this world. If I made you into that type of people, would you be glad or not? [We will be glad.]

So think about how many curses and insults I have persevered through. I would have given everything up if I was a narrow-minded weakling. But I would just smile it off. I can do it because I am a free man.

Now, witnessing is not a problem. All will be fine if you believe that you do not need food, clothes, and a place to live. A man lives his life only once. There is only one chance at life. It will not return the second time. For this reason, you must develop everything. You must build up your experiences one by one and store them well until you use them. You are to use everything. That is a wealthy person. You must be prepared with everything. That type of people are wealthy people. (132-210)
