With the theme “Becoming Pure Water: Reflecting the Heart of Heavenly Parent and True Parents in Me,” the Leadership Training Camp (LTC) 2026 was successfully held from May 25 to May 31, 2026, at the Sun Hwa International Academy (SHIA) in Antipolo City. The workshop gathered 33 Blessed Children and youth participants, supported by 14 staff members, all seeking to deepen their understanding of the teachings and heart of Heavenly Parent and True Parents. Organized as a week-long educational and character-building program, the camp aimed to nurture participants into filial sons and daughters who take ownership of their faith while applying the Divine Principle to their daily lives.
Throughout the seven-day program, participants engaged in a dynamic blend of lectures, discussions, team-building activities, reflection sessions, and leadership development exercises. Core Divine Principle topics—including the Principle of Creation, the Human Fall, Restoration, the lives of central biblical figures, the Messiah, Resurrection, Predestination, Christology, Eschatology, Moses, Jesus, and the Second Advent—were presented through interactive lectures and Q&A sessions. These educational components were complemented by group discussions, quizzes, a lecture competition, and personal reflection journals, allowing participants to internalize the lessons and connect them to their personal faith journeys.
Beyond classroom learning, the workshop provided vibrant opportunities for participants to strengthen relationships and develop teamwork through icebreakers, an “Amazing Race,” cultural preparations, and a Cultural and Appreciation Night. One-on-one guidance sessions between leaders and members offered a meaningful space for mentorship and personal growth. These activities encouraged participants to practice cooperation, leadership, responsibility, and mutual respect, fostering a tight-knit community centered on shared values.
A significant highlight of the workshop was the emphasis on embodying the heart of Heavenly Parent and True Parents. Through experiential activities and personal reflections, participants were challenged to examine their character, strengthen their faith, and cultivate a lifestyle of service and filial devotion. The program inspired them not only to gain knowledge of the Divine Principle but to actively live its teachings through their actions and daily decisions.
The workshop concluded with a Dream Speech presentation, a Closing Ceremony, and final evaluations, where participants expressed their insights and commitments moving forward. As the camp came to an end, participants departed with a renewed determination to become “pure water” that reflects the divine heart. Ultimately, LTC 2026 served as a powerful platform for spiritual growth and character formation, empowering Blessed Children to become future leaders who will contribute positively to their families, communities, and society.
