Report of Los Angeles Peace Events on August 15

The Peace Road Rally was held on August 15, 2020, at a historical site in Los Angeles, the original location of the Azusa Street Mission.

The reading From MOTHER OF PEACE was highlighting the need for an International Peace Highway.

Crossing the Bering Strait can be seen as symbolic of crossing the ideological divide between the democratic and communist camps as the United States and Russia grappled with each other. Connecting these two nations is a vital step toward global peace and unification.

Peace Road Events are carried out worldwide in support of our proposed International Peace Highway. Nations and movements sacrifice lives and resources following the logic of power--a foolish and ineffective way to resolve perceived injustice of settling disputes. Our Heavenly Parent is showing us the path of true peace. As the book of Isaiah says, now is the time to beat our swords into plowshares.

The location on Azuza Street where we had the Peace Road Rally is a Historical Landmark.

The Azusa Street Revival was a historic revival meeting that took place in Los Angeles, California.[1] It was led by William J. Seymour, an African-American preacher. The start on the three-year revival began on April 9, 1906, and continued until roughly 1915. On the night of April 9, 1906, Seymour and seven men were waiting on God on Bonnie Brae Street, "when suddenly, as though hit by a bolt of lightning, they were knocked from their chairs to the floor" and the other seven men began to speak in tongues and shout out loud praising God. The news quickly spread; the city was stirred; crowds gathered, and a few days later Seymour himself received the Holy Spirit; services were moved outside to accommodate the crowds who came from all around; people fell down under the power of God as they approached; people were baptized in the Holy Spirit and the sick were healed and sinners received salvation.[2] To further accommodate the crowds, an old dilapidated, two-story frame building at 312 Azusa Street in the industrial section of the city was secured. This building, originally built for an African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, had more recently been used as a livery stable, storage building and tenement house. In this humble Azusa Street mission, a continuous three-year revival occurred and became known around the world. Stanley H. Frodsham, in his book, With Signs Following, quotes an eye-witness description of the scene: The revival was characterized by spiritual experiences accompanied with testimonies of physical healing miracles,[3] worship services, and speaking in tongues. The participants were criticized by some secular media and Christian theologians for behaviors considered to be outrageous and unorthodox, especially at the time. Today, the revival is considered by historians to be the primary catalyst for the spread of Pentecostalism in the 20th century.

Peace Road was proposed by Dr. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon who advocated the International Peace Highway Project so the world can be connected as one family and the walls between races, cultures, religions, and nations can be broken down.
