Seafood Pioneers

European Seafood Pioneers

Young men were chosen and trained to pioneer seafood businesses in several European countries. Many of them attended workshops in Kodiak, where ocean providence training is provided. Anyone else who trained in Kodiak, or knows another person who did and became a seafood business pioneer in Europe, is welcome to provide their information and we will be grateful to honor their efforts here. Photos are also welcome and can be uploaded on our Upload Media page.

50 Japanese Sisters / 43 Ocean Messiahs

A group of young Japanese women were called in 1983 to work for several years, far away from their husbands, to build the foundation for the victory of the seafood cannery "International Seafoods of Alaska" at Kodiak Island, as a providential step towards resolving the scourge of world hunger that claims the lives of multitudes before they have the chance to receive God's blessings.

From among the 50 Japanese sisters, on the basis of True Parents' 8-stages victory (Pal Jeong Shik), True Parents sent 43 of them, with their husbands, to spread the victory of ISA to 43 nations around the world. Those who remain among us have given their testimonies of their time with True Parents in Alaska and their subsequent foreign missions.

43 Ocean Messiah Husbands

The testimonies of the long wait of the husbands of 50 Japanese Sisters / 43 Ocean Messiah and their dedication to their wives and sacrifices to support their missions are also deeply appreciated and inspirational.
