The Spring Youth and Primary Workshop brought together 19 participants for a four-day programme under the theme, “Let’s Live the Pure Water Life Together.” The workshop was designed to strengthen the participants’ foundation of faith, deepen their understanding of their spiritual heritage, and encourage them to apply their values in their daily lives. Through a combination of faith education, team-building activities, testimonies, sports, Hoon Dok Hae (HDH), fundraising, service activities, group discussions, and personal reflection, participants were given opportunities to learn, share experiences, and develop stronger relationships with one another.

Throughout the four days, the programme explored important topics such as spiritual heritage, True Parents’ history in Australia, purity, healthy relationships, and the significance of the Blessing. These lessons encouraged participants to reflect on their personal values, understand the importance of purity and integrity, and recognize their responsibility in preparing for their future. Beyond the lectures, fundraising and service activities allowed them to put their faith into practice through teamwork, generosity, and living for the sake of others. The sharing of testimonies and group discussions also created an environment where participants could learn from one another and experience the importance of friendship, mentorship, and mutual encouragement in their spiritual journey.

The workshop concluded on Sunday with a Purity Ceremony and Graduation, marking the completion of the four-day learning experience and encouraging participants to carry the principles of the “Pure Water Life” beyond the workshop. More than simply an educational programme, the gathering served as an opportunity for young participants to strengthen their connection to Heavenly Parent and True Parents while developing a deeper sense of faith, responsibility, and commitment to a life of service. As they returned to their respective families and communities, they were encouraged to continue making choices rooted in purity, integrity, and love, supported by a community where faith can grow through shared experiences and genuine relationships.

Reflection:  Fundraising and sport were very enjoyable, as I love to have time with my family and have heaps of fun, but fundraising was fun and also another first experience of doing something, and it was one of the best and most useful experiences so far.. -Sean, HTG Missionary
