Stay safe amidst the COVID-19 pandemic! Some of us have often wondered, how can a great and swift change in the world ever take place, but this crisis is showing us that anything can happen that will entirely change our daily lifestyle in a very short amount of time. We need to be vigilant, and at the same time know that we CAN bring a quick and vast change to the world if we are doing the right thing at the right time and place. 2020 has just begun. We must take every opportunity to offer victory to Heavenly Parents and True Parents. The suffering and struggles we are seeing right now might be the pain of birth for the new world, but we must do our part in ushering in the new age if this were to happen!
As we make strides in North American Providence, just as True Parents have previously said, as an elder son nation, we cannot “forget about our brothers and sisters” in South America. We have a responsibility to extend our hands to help all the less fortunate/less advanced nations.
Until today, True Parents have tirelessly worked on a global scale to resolve the issues between “North-South” and “East and West.” South American nations, despite being fellow Christian countries, remain still as developing nations. In 1995, True Parents with the goal to bring up their technological and social standards to par with their North American nations, began investing in regions centering on Pantanal, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
The South American continent possesses the world’s largest wetlands, the Pantanal, which produces 67% of the world’s oxygen and is known as the land of water and trees. Since it could be the key region to resolving the current and near-future issues of resource shortage, environment, and food shortages, it is subject to severe buyouts of properties by countries like China and other companies with foresight. In light of today’s extreme world affairs, True Parent’s vision of preparing the vast properties across these regions seems providential.
Many of us remember the fact that throughout their entire life, True Parents had been working to usher the coming of the Ocean Era. Wherever True Parents went, one could find Ocean Providence activities. There are numerous accounts of True Father engaging in fishing at pivotal moments such as: after HoonNam Prison, development of Belvedere property, after the release from Danbury Prison, before he met with Kim Il Sung, and so on. We cannot dismiss all he did as a mere hobby, indemnity condition, or just a business venture to make money.
Until the very year he ascended, True Father continued to invest in developing the ideal boat that is fit for the coming Ocean Era. We are to inherit his vertical foundation and realize his vision substantially (horizontally) on this earth and continue his work to usher in the New Ocean Era. That is our mission. He laid out in detail what an Ocean Hobby Industry Model Base will look like, and that is what Wonmo Marine Group and many enlightened members around the globe are working towards. It is the vision and the model of the substantial Kingdom of Heaven. Who’s in? Let’s get it!
Here is a glance at the history of Rev. & Mrs. Moon's Ocean Providence which started all the way back in 1963 and continued onto 2012 and beyond! It is clear that Ocean Providence was a crucial and integral part of global providence.
1963: Beginning of Ocean Providence
The Day of All Things (7/26/1963) was established on top of the conditions set by the launching of Cheon Seung Ho (6/26) and 124 Couples Blessing (7/24). This time marks the beginning of the battle to resolve humanity's hunger and food problem, recover the ownership over God’s creation, and to restore the dominion over the creation through the “Ocean Providence,” centering on True Parents.

True Parents arrived in the USA at the end of 1971 and had already begun fishing on the Hudson River and off the coast of Freeport in NY in the following year. The official date for the “Beginning of Ocean Providence in the USA” is 8/1/1974. On that day, a boat he purchased which he named “New Hope” arrived at the marina in Gloucester, MA, and he took out to sea for the first time. True Parents declared to Heaven, “we promise to shape a foundation for Ocean Providence across the US within 20 years!”

His aim was to establish the world’s largest boat company with a goal of building and selling one boat a day initially. He told us that the final goal for the US company is to produce and sell 120 boats per month. He also wanted us to build boats ranging in size up to 60ft. Finally, he wanted us to establish boat companies across 6 continents and globalize our influence.
