In the history of the 8th peace tour in January 2014, Chairman Lee received attention as he played a decisive arbitration role in ending the 40-year conflict in Mindanao, the Philippines, which was the largest conflict zone in Asia.

The event on Mindanao Island is a historical one in which a Korean peace activist accomplished something that the Philippine government was unable to achieve as a 40-year religious conflict between Catholics and Muslims raged on. The 40-year history of conflict rooted in religion was brought to an end through a peace movement that transcends religion. The fact that the representatives of each religion in Mindanao, who had been at loggerheads with each other, signed the “Peace Agreement” prepared by Chairman Lee and thereby agreed to the cessation of war and world peace, astonished the global community, not just communities within the Philippines.

This content was also reported in the Philippine private media, which expressed its gratitude, saying, "The representative of a private organization in the Republic of Korea has accomplished a task that the government could not solve."
