Reflection
1st Gen from Hong Kong: “The contents were practical and real-world (grounded). The afternoon lectures helped me to reflect and identify areas for improvement. I talked to my husband tonight, and plan to talk to him in more detail later this week. We hope to use this seminar as a point of reflection to do a “reset” for our family’s spiritual life.”
1st Gen from India: “Our church is indeed growing. The lectures we had today are what we blessed couples need. We aren’t fulltime and so difficulties to maintain a heavenly environment to our second gen is a great challenge. It’s healthy for us to hear testimonies from both elder and younger generations of parents. Thank you so much. Wishing you all our leaders to have more strength and love from Heavenly Parent and True Parents.”
