“Who wants peace? Raise your hand!”

“Because I am a person who works for peace, I could not help but to visit Mindanao when they asked me to come for peace. I headed to Mindanao with the answer from God that He will be with me.”

In the year 2014, 40 years of bloody conflict finally ended with the peace agreement. Who was behind this? It was through Man-hee Lee, Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), who enabled the Mindanao Civil Peace Agreement. He gave all the glories of this peace agreement to God saying that “the Mindanao Civil Peace Agreement is an indescribable work of God.”

Chairman Man-hee Lee, the Korean war veteran, established the peace organization HWPL in 2013 with the calling from the heaven to “cease wars and achieve global peace.” Starting from 2012, Chairman Lee made peace tour with the key to achieve ‘cessation of war’ and ‘world peace.’

Mindanao went through severe conflict between Philippine government and Islam armed force which resulted in death of more than 120,000 people and causing 3,500,000 refugees. Every attempt to reach agreement between Philippines government and Islam armed force failed and did not work.

Then what made it possible for chairman lee to make a peace agreement in this land? He acknowledged to Catholic and Muslim leaders during the peace seminar that “God’s will is not conflict but peace.” He asked to the participants of this seminar to raise their hand if they want peace. Everyone raised their hand and at that moment, Chairman Lee called upon Catholic and Muslim leaders to sign the peace agreement right away.

To celebrate this peace achievement, Mindanao established Jan. 24^th as the anniversary of Mindanao Peace Agreement. Philippine media made a major report saying that “even though there are many peace workers around the world, HWPL is the only organization that made the practical result of peace.”

A beautiful, hopeful and somewhat miraculous post. How is that HWPL Chairman Man-hee Lee, who was in his mid-80s at that time, could mediate a cruel, bloody 40-year inter-religious conflict between Catholic and Islamic groups that had claimed 120,000 lives on the island of Mindanao - which no government agency or peacekeeping force could solve - yet so few media organisations report it? Thank YOU for reporting this news of peace. I hope more media outlets will do the same and I will certainly do my part in spreading this news. I have watched the screening of the ‘Great Legacy’ film documentary here in the UK, and it was phenomenal.
