I have been the coordinator of the Family Federation for World Peace in Pennsylvania and the pastor of the Philadelphia Family Church for 18 years. My wife Miyuki and I were blessed in the 30,000 couple Blessing of 1992.
We have 7 children together including: Sunkook, Noritaka, Soonmee, Lena, Miae and Shohey.
Our second youngest child, Akinobu, passed at the age of 19 on October 11, 2023 by brain death due to a blockage of oxygen caused by blood clots in his lungs. The physical symptoms manifested very suddenly and despite significant medical intervention, it was just days until he left us for the spiritual world.
I am happy to be of support to other parents who have had a child pass to the spirit world.
