[Newsis, etc.] Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon Appoints Eight Special Emissaries…Holds Family Federation “World Federation Service for the Victory of Vision 2020.”
On May 11th, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (Korean President Kyung-Seuk Ryu) celebrated 60 years since its founding with the “World Federation Service for the Victory of Vision 2020” at the Cheong Shim Peace World Center in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-Do. Eight Special Emissaries were also appointed at this event. Chang Shik Yang (North and South America), Hideo Oyamada (Greater China Region and Northeast Region), Kwang Gi Sa (Western Europe), Lan Young Moon (Eastern Europe), Kathy Rigney (Africa), Robert Kittel (in charge of education in Asia) and Chung Sik Yong (also the Asian Continental Director) were all appointed as Special Emissaries in charge of their respective continents.
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon awarded each Special Emissary with written appointments, rings and medals symbolizing their status as emissaries.
Dr. Han also appointed Sun Jin Moon as the Director-General of FFWPU International HQ and Man Ho Kim as the Secretary General. In addition, she awarded Special Emissaries Kathy Rigney and Robert Kittel with lifetime achievement awards for their contributions to front line mission work, commemorating 40 years of overseas mission work since 1975.
Furthermore, she also appointed four new continental directors: Sang Suek Kim (Central America), Dong Ho Cho (West Africa) and Bakary Camara (East Africa). She also appointed Jong In Park as the national director of Lebanon and the Middle Eastern region.
Dr. Han expanded the existing continental structure of the global church to include three more regions, centering on language and culture. Three new continental regions—Central America (22 nations centering upon Mexico), the Greater China Region (centering upon China) and West Africa (after being divided between East and West)—were added to the existing ten regions (Korea, Japan, North America, Asia, Europe, South America, Oceania, the Middle East, the Northeast region and Africa), increasing the number of continental regions in the mission system to thirteen.
The day’s events were attended by Dr. Han, Sun Jin Moon and her husband Insup Park, Universal Ballet Director Julia Moon, the Special Emissaries, continental directors, directors of providential institutions, business leaders, elder public officials and about 22,000 members from around the world.

On this day, commemorating 40 years of overseas mission work since 1975, Dr. Han awarded Special Emissaries Kathy Rigney and Robert Kittel with special lifetime achievement awards for their contributions to front line mission work. She also awarded each Special Emissary with rings and medals. These royal gifts were crafted from Dr. Han’s most treasured jewelry.
“The medals represent victory and glory, and the rings represent a promise,” said President Kyung-Seuk Ryu in regards to the gifts. “They carry the sincere wishes of Dr. Han for the salvation of mankind,” he explained. The participants of the event, under the banner of service and sacrifice, determined that they would work even more fervently to carry out mission work in 193 countries around the world, centering upon the 43 strategic providential nations of “Vision 2020.” In other news, the Family Federation awarded four families of ministers who had served for 40 years with special certificates of merit and incentive funds of one hundred million won per family, at the 60th Anniversary Commemorative Ceremony held on May 1st at the Cheon Jeong Goong Museum Chapel.
