This ceremony was held to praise the children of God for their effort to lead many souls to Him by preaching eagerly during the last third quarter. All the participants, who received the latter rain of the Holy Spirit abundantly through the Feast of Tabernacles, also confirmed their determination to accomplish the gospel work in the last days by carrying out the 'Come and See' Holy Spirit Movement, which God had proclaimed. Their fervor was stronger than ever though the weather was cold.

During the worship, Mother prayed to open a door for preaching by the fire of the Holy Spirit for all God's children, so that they could bear good fruit of the Spirit and the gospel could be spread to the whole world.

Mother praised the children who devoted themselves to gospel work and said, "The greatest love is to lead souls, who are destined to die, to heaven where they will never suffer. God is with those who have that love, so do not fear even though you face difficulties and persecutions. Be the children who are always self-controlled and alert, and preach the new covenant through which we can escape disasters." Mother also taught us that we should be humble and godly on earth to gain glory in heaven and said, "Let us preach the Passover with sincere love and humility and bear good fruit, by which we may repay for God's grace of salvation."

The Chief Pastor Kim Joo-cheol said, "God divided the Red Sea and made water come out of a rock with a common wooden staff that Moses used. Let us be like the staff of Mose which God held and accomplish the great gospel work. I hope that every one will be awarded in the fourth quarter, becoming beautiful branches of vine that bear many fruits."

Awards were given to individuals, groups and Churches. The overseas Churches received many awards, which shows that the gospel is surely being preached to the whole world. The members clapped and applauded the awardees and said, "Next time, I will stand there on the honorable stage," "I want to please God with good fruit by obeying Mother's words."

All the awardees said, "Everything was done by Father and Mother, not by us. Nevertheless, Father and Mother gave us awards. We give thanks to Elohim God," "Everyday I prayed to God and preached Father and Mother's sacrifice and love with God's mind, then God gave me good fruit for nothing." A Church which received many awards said, "We were determined to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit which is invisible rather than the visible, and we prayed to love each other. Then many family members and relatives returned to God due to our changed attitude."

After the awards ceremony, there followed the performances prepared by Mother to comfort the children. The united choir and a male acappella choir, which were accompanied by the orchestra, got a big hand. At the awards ceremony which was held on the 11th, the participants could see performance of the New Life Children's Choir which was very cute, and the young adult member's conte which showed how the gospel is being preached in each continent.

Special praise went to the overseas members, who had preached the gospel with faith like that of the Apostle Paul, and gave a deep impression to the participants. They praised God, being moved by the Holy Spirit. They said, "It is like a dream for us to be here in Korea where Mother is," "We will take the lead in saving souls by spreading Mother's glory and the delight and impression we felt today."

Next, they watched videos"The Church of God in the World," and "The Prayer of Mother." The members saw the world gospel being fulfilled by the Church of God and realized that until as they were, there was the sacrifice of Mother who prayed endlessly for their souls. They looked back on their past and were determined to repay Mother for Her grace as mature children who understand Mother's sacrifice and love.

They were determined to accomplish the world mission by saving one soul, depending on God who poured down the latter rain of the Holy Spirit abundantly on the Feast of Tabernacles. The Chief Pastor Kim Joo-cheol said that over 35,000 members had volunteered to participate in the Holy Spirit MovementCome and See. He prayed God to fill all the volunteers with the Holy Spirit so that they can bear good fruit all around the world and complete the world mission. Next, the representatives for each age groupoverseers, men, women, youth and student members-read aloud their written resolutions. Each representative announced, "We will carry out our mission and duty, trusting in God, so we will fulfill the world mission through the "Come and See" Holy Spirit Movement. Whenever the volunteers heard each written resolution, they replied, "Amen," loud voice.

At the end of the ceremony, Mother praised the members for participating in many volunteer activities for their neighbors while preaching the words of life. Mother asked to continue helping their neighbors in need. Mother also blessed the members to bear lots of good fruit. Bearing Mother's blessing in their hearts, they made a firm resolution to accomplish the work of the salvation with the word, "Come and see!"
