Significant of the Event:

1. Centering on our Cheon Eui Won Chair of Heavenly Asia-Pacific, Dr. Robert Kittel, Regional Presidents, President Demian Dunkley (Asia -1) and President Masaichi Hori (Asia-2), this event was the Asia Pacific Blessed Children Department project showing a complete unity of Asia Pacific 1 & 2, with the vision to raise up Leaders of our Blessed Children, with the Theme: “Becoming the Light of the World through a Filial Heart for Heaven!”.
2. One of the most victory points on the success of this workshop is because of the combined efforts, trust and cooperation between Asia Pacific 1 & 2’s leaders and staff. Because of the unity of heart among our leaders centering on our Cheon Eui Won Chair, both Regional Presidents of AP 1 & AP 2 and Vice-Presidents of AP 1 and AP 2, the powers of unity brought great victory and revival to the participants and absolute victory to the 4-Day Event.
3. As Blessed Children Department as main organizer of this event under the purview of IAYSP, we are truly grateful to have our both Regional Presidents who always concern and focus on raising future leaders, paving the way for our Blessed Children to contribute their talents and ability towards God’s providence.
4. This 4-Day event has become a good platform for our Blessed Children to shine. Almost all the operation team (Asia Pacific Level and local level) and key staff was coordinated by Blessed Children themselves. This is a good training ground for them and to enhance their leadership skills. 
5. Virtual Asia Pacific Sung Hwa Youth Workshop, conducted concurrently with Local National Workshop, a combined effort of Asia Pacific 2nd Gen Leaders Team, and local 2nd Gen Leaders team from each nation (some with physical workshops, some through online/ zoom). Everyone took strong ownership to invest in the Workshop to make it fruitful and impactful.
6. Through this Workshop, we were able to reach out to a total of 349 participants from 16 nations, especially to some of the isolated countries (island nations) whereby this was the good opportunity for the Blessed Children from Island nations to be able to join Workshop virtually. 
7. A total of five (5) top prominent leaders/ speakers from Asia Pacific 1 & 2, father and daughter joint force together to deliver heartistic and impactful lectures and testimonies, to inspire, guide and share their hearts and love to our participants (blessed children and parents).
8. Despite the Pandemic, more than eight (8) nations prepared their group & individual Performances, showcasing their nation’s art and culture to offer towards HP & TPs, uniting our hearts together beyond national boundaries!
9. Prior to the event, a Special Leadership Development Workshop on 26 December 2021was conducted under the auspicious of our Vice Presidents of AP 1 and AP 2. The purpose of the Workshop was to train and orientate our staff, both internally and practically.
10. Five (5) channels of interpretation were arranged (English, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, and Mongolia) to cater for the different participants.
