My Journey to Korea: Faith, Festivals, and a Deeper Connection
This isn’t just another trip. For me—and for so many of us—this is the journey of a lifetime.
Over the next 10 days, I’ll be in Korea, immersed in a series of meaningful festivals, each leading up to the grand entrance ceremony of the Chonwon Gung, the global prayer temple created by Holy Mother Hak Ja Han Moon. It’s an extraordinary honor to be here, and I feel deeply grateful for the chance to witness and participate in something so significant.
But this trip isn’t just about ceremony—it’s also about connection. Connection to the culture, to the people, to the land, and most importantly, to the divine.
Touching Down in Korea
As soon as I landed at Incheon International Airport, I felt it—the warmth, the efficiency, the respect. Korea has a way of making you feel welcome from the very first step.
Before anything else, I made sure to get connected. I picked up a portable Wi-Fi device right at the airport. You can also grab an eSIM if that’s your thing, but I personally prefer the reliability of these unlimited Wi-Fi pouches. Super fast, super easy.
Credit cards are accepted pretty much everywhere here, and if you’re still using cash, there are plenty of ATM machines and currency exchange booths at the airport. It’s all very straightforward.
Oh, and yes—don’t forget to grab a travel adapter. The power outlets are different, and this small item will save you a lot of stress.
Ok folks : Let’s dive into this journey and remember it isn’t just a schedule of events. It’s an invitation—to grow, to reconnect, and to remember why we do what we do.
I feel humbled to be here, and I’m looking forward to sharing more reflections as we move through the festivals and prepare for the grand opening of the Chonwon Gung.
There’s something special happening here in Korea, and I’m honored to be a part of it.
