The 5-Day Peacemakers Workshop was successfully conducted with the participation of three (3) youth participants, supported by (3) 2nd Generation staff and one (1) 1st Generation staff including 2 more lecturers. The workshop aimed to deepen the participants’ understanding of God, True Parents, and to foster meaningful relationships among the youth.
From the beginning, the participants expressed sincere motivations for joining the workshop. They shared their desire to learn more about True Parents and the Word of God, while also hoping to meet new people and build friendships. One participant highlighted a personal goal of growing in forgiveness, recognizing the importance of understanding God more deeply as a guide in daily life.
Throughout the sessions, participants actively engaged in lectures, discussions, and reflection activities. Topics such as the Principle of Creation, the life of Jesus, and the course of True Parents left a strong impact on them. During reflection, one participant shared a commitment to begin living a more meaningful life by living for the sake of others, dedicating time for prayer, and practicing gratitude daily. They emphasized the importance of being specific in gratitude, such as appreciating not only their family but also the love and life shared with others.
A significant realization came from reflecting on the three lost elements: True Love, True Life, and True Lineage. Participants understood that God, as the original owner, does not accept this loss and calls His children to restore these through becoming true sons and daughters.
The lecture on the life of Jesus deeply moved the participants, as they empathized with His suffering and sacrifice. They reflected on the human pain Jesus endured and His deep understanding of God’s heart, which gave Him the strength to fulfill His mission despite hardship.
Similarly, the life course of True Parents inspired the participants. They were touched by the sacrifices of True Father, who chose forgiveness even toward those who persecuted him, and True Mother, who embraced her path with determination despite great personal sacrifice. Participants recognized their unwavering heart to bring peace and liberation to God and humanity.
As part of practicing the core value of “Living for the Sake of Others,” the participants actively joined a Cleaning Drive Service in Sitio Buhanginan last April 4, 2026, together with the HTG Korea team and Antipolo Blessed Children. This activity allowed them to put into action the values they learned during the workshop by serving the community with sincerity and teamwork.
In the afternoon, the participants had a bonding activity with the Antipolo Youth, where they were able to build deeper connections, share experiences, and create joyful memories together. They also participated in the One Family Sports activity with ABCD at Sun Hwa International Academy, which served as both a bonding and sightseeing experience. During this time, they witnessed the environment of the school, which is built upon the principles of True Parents, further deepening their appreciation and understanding of a value-centered community.
The workshop also provided opportunities for free sharing and fellowship, which the participants greatly enjoyed. These moments allowed them to open up, understand themselves better, and build genuine friendships with one another.
In the session on Pure Love and Leadership, participants learned that true leadership begins with purifying one’s own heart and character first before guiding others. This insight brought joy and clarity, as they realized the importance of internal growth in becoming effective leaders.
Overall, the workshop created a meaningful environment for spiritual growth, self-reflection, and connection. The participants concluded the program with renewed determination to live a life centered on love, gratitude, and service to others, while continuously seeking a deeper relationship with God.
