The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification Philippines in partnership with the Hyojeong CheonBo – Asia Pacific Branch, co organized the 5-Day Revival Workshop held from December 1-5, 2025, in Antipolo Family Church, Antipolo City, Rizal and brought together a total of 26 leaders, blessed families and members.

The workshop’s main objective is to renew and revive the participants’ spiritual passion and deepen their relationship with Heavenly Parent and True Parents and to our beloved Holy Mother Han. 

The workshop was graced by the presence of the following leaders and lecturers who made the program even more meaningful: Rev. In Cheon Kim, President, HJ Cheonbo Asia Pacific Branch; Rev. Julius Malicdem, Vice Continental Director, FFWPU AP; Rev. Ronnie Sodusta, Regional Director, FFWPU Philippines and Rev. Edgar Tanate, Director, Education, Spirituality and Leadership Development Department of FFWPU Philippines. The Program Director is Mr. Hiroto Guingayan, president of 2nd generations association in the Philippines.

Each day featured a structured program of in-depth lectures, Chanyang Yeoksa Session, personal reflections, testimony sharing and joining the Cheon Shim Won Night Prayer Vigil. Participants also joined the daily Special Jeongseong for our beloved True Mother, offering full bow and calling out prayer.

At the fourth day of the workshop, a Lecture Competition was also organized where selected representatives from each group presented their Cheonbo lecture with sincerity and competence.  The energy during the competition was electrifying as each lecturer strived to offer their best for Heavenly Parent and True Parents. Ms. Ayaka Tokuno, a second generation member, won the award as the Best Lecturer.

One of the main highlights of the workshop was the Street Preaching Activity with all participants and staff held in the public market in Antipolo City. The city government did not give the permit for the activity, but the organizers still decided to do the street preaching anyway, with heart of connecting with True Mother’s heart in this difficult times. The activity served as a dynamic expression of their faith and a practical opportunity to engage the public with the heart of testifying about Holy Mother Han and her works for world peace.

Participants began by performing the Happy Dance, which drew smiles and curiosity from the crowd. Afterwards, Mr. Han Jin Gimay introduced what FFWPU is, providing clear explanations of the organization’s mission and values. This was followed by heartfelt testimonies from Ms. Ayaka Tokuno and Ms. Satomi Grace Granada, who shared their personal journeys as second-generation members of the Unification movement. Their stories inspired many, offering a glimpse into how faith and their Unification family and community shaped their character, purpose, and daily life. This hands-on witnessing experience not only put their faith into action but also strengthened their confidence, teamwork, and sense of mission.

The atmosphere throughout the five days was marked by joy, openness, and a strong sense of family. Even the simple moments—shared meals, conversations, and quiet times of reflection—became sources of inspiration.

By the closing day, the participants testified to experiencing significant internal transformation. Many shared that their spirits were uplifted, their vision clarified, and their dedication renewed. The unexpected depth of the experience made the workshop memorable beyond expectations—like a bright moon unexpectedly appearing on a dark night, bringing hope and clarity.

The 5-Day Revival Workshop successfully concluded with the utmost determination of participants to continuously support our Holy Mother Han, especially in this crisis moment of our movement, bringing a stronger resolve to advance the providence of Heavenly Parent and True Parents through witnessing and becoming a testimony in their local communities.
