Welborn Kent Rozier was born on July 23, 1948 and ascended to the spirit world on July 5, 2015. He received the Marriage Blessing with Karen Lisabeth on July 1, 1982 as part of the 2075 couples’ Marriage Blessing Ceremony. Here is a short autobiography that Welborn wrote before ascending:
“I’m a proud Unificationist who is blessed in marriage to Karen Lisbeth Kardel now for 33 years with one grown son who is blessed in marriage to a wonderful daughter-in-law. I love God, my family, my country, and the Lord of the Second Advent: Father Sun Myung Moon.
I grew up throughout the South, studied in a Catholic seminary, and since have traveled to every State except Maine and Alaska. I joined the Unification Church in Columbia, South Carolina.
I’ve been to Germany, Italy, France, Korea, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Russia on pioneer missions as a lecturer and fundraising captain. I love reading and teaching about history, the Bible, and Divine Principle.”

I met Wellborn at UTS when I was in my first year there, and he was soon finishing. We took part in an inter-class debate in which he showed himself to be formidably capable of persuading other people that he was right. He enabled me to understand the true heart of American debating is about persuading; this was an important cultural point, I felt. This must have stood him in excellent stead in his post-seminary service, and may it serve him well in his new mission on the other side. As we say in South Africa at funerals, ‘Go well, Wellborn’. May you be comforted at home.

Dear Karen-Lisbeth,
I will never forget the hospitality that you extended towards me during my short stay in Washington, in year 2000. I was on my way from a workshop in Bridgeport, back to my mission country in Palau. I will never forget your kindness and the warmth with which you and Welborn embraced me.
May God Bless You and your family at this time.
It appears that our True Father is welcoming (some would even go so far as to say “calling”) his loyal children home, as he needs his army of helpers in the Spiritual World. I am sure that Welborn is going to be very busy there, and I am sure he will be teaching plenty of workshops!
Thank you once more, I will never forget you!
Your loving sister Joanna
