May I extend my warmest New Year\u2019s greetings to all of you. I would also like to express my sincere appreciation for the efforts you devoted to the work of the path in your respective roles and positions during the past year.<\/p>\n
With the beginning of the new year, we have now entered the first year of the \u201cthree years, one thousand days\u201d season leading up to the 130th Anniversary of Oyasama.<\/p>\n
The \u201cVisits by Church Headquarters Officials\u201d have been underway since last fall and are being followed by the \u201cVisits to All Churches.\u201d It is my hope that through those visits all of us Yoboku can heighten the awareness of being Oyasama\u2019s instruments and unite our minds so that we can energetically promote pre-anniversary activities.<\/p>\n
Let us work to measure up to God\u2019s parental heart that desires to save all humankind by paying attention to those around us, speaking proactively to them, and reaching out to them.<\/p>\n
May I ask for your continued efforts during this new year.<\/p>\n
New Year\u2019s Day<\/p>\n
