The first dedication service during the second half of 2019 was held at the Dalseo Church in Daegu on July 6, which was the Sabbath day. In the evening of the same day, there was another dedication service for the Indong Church in Gumi. The members in the areas arrived at the new temples with joy and excitement.

Visiting Gyeongsang Province when summer began in earnest, Mother offered up prayers of blessings for the members who made efforts for the gospel and kept their faith firm despite heat and economic difficulties. Mother reminded them of the eternally rich and glorious kingdom of heaven and strengthened their hope for heaven. “Let’s diligently share hope and blessings of heaven with our neighbors who are tired in the world,” She said.

General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol congratulated them on their dedication and hoped that the new temples would become the gospel ground worthy of God’s will and the place of grace where the love of Father and Mother can be planted in the hearts of the members and citizens. “The church that followsthe teachings of Jesus exactly, both 2,000 years ago and now, is only the Church of God. Let’s have confidence in that and preach hard the truth of salvation to those who do not know God the Mother yet,” he said (1 Co 1:2–3; Gal 4:26; Rev 22:17; 2 Co 6:17–18).
