Following the initial 40 days of material restoration, 112 participants of the Hyo Jeong Team entered a new stage of preparation through a 7-day Divine Principle seminar, with a special focus on deepening their understanding of the Principle and strengthening their determination for witnessing.
This seminar was held as a spiritual and educational preparation for the upcoming 40-day witnessing condition that will take place in several nations across Latin America, including Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Costa Rica, Chile, and Ecuador. The purpose of this training was to internalize the heart necessary to share the truth, cultivate confidence in teaching the Divine Principle, and renew the sense of mission as representatives of Heaven in their respective fields.
During these seven days, the participants received profound guidance and encouragement through the words shared by Rev. Koichi Sasaki and Secretary General, Henrique Soares de Sá. Their messages emphasized the importance of witnessing not only as an external activity, but as an expression of one’s life of faith, heart, and daily practice. They reminded the youth that witnessing begins with personal alignment with God, purity of heart, and sincere love for people.
In addition to the lectures, the program included moments of reflection, prayer, group discussions, and testimonies shared by the young participants about their personal experiences during the period of material restoration and how they overcame their difficulties. The schedule also featured Tong Il Moo Do activities that strengthened discipline, unity, and internal focus. These moments created an atmosphere of empathy, mutual support, physical vitality, and deeper unity within the team, allowing everyone to learn from one another’s journey of faith and perseverance.
During this period, the participants also took part in the Vigil 500, a historic milestone held in Brazil, in which all of Latin America participated. The Hyo Jeong Team attended both as representatives of Latin America in person and also joined the broader participation online, further strengthening their spiritual connection with the continental movement.
Through this seminar, the Hyo Jeong Team renewed their commitment to live for the sake of others and prepared themselves spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally to begin the 40-day witnessing condition throughout Latin America, carrying the hope of bringing new life, faith, and inspiration to many people.
