IYSP Brazil held on December 3rd to 4th 2022 a True Love Day Ministry Workshop for Youth and Young Adults in Soroca, São Paulo. The purpose of that workshop is to embrace and provide inspiration to young unificacionists regardless their current situation of faith and stage in life (singles, young couples, parents, inactive member and so on) and help them achieve their potential as children of our Heavenly Parents and True Parents.
After 3 years of interruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions for gatherings, True Love Day youth ministry – a youth group under YSP Brazil focused in reaching out to young unificationists, could finally hold its annual workshop (this was the ninth edition since its beginning back in 2012).
This year’s workshop was held at Clube Atlético Sorocaba, a peaceful location surrounded by beautiful nature.
The program consisted of lectures which aimed to cover the core teachings of the Divine Principle (Creation, Fall and Messiah) and also other contents related to practical issues faced by the participants such as challenges faced by singles, couples and parents. The program also included outdoor activities (sports, games) and deep worship and prayer sessions which allowed the participants to experience a profound connection with God.
Around 120 people attended considering workshop participants and staffs. The audience’s age ranged from 16 years old singles up to youth in their thirties – including 22 young Blessed (or married) couples, many of whom already with small children (0 to 6 years old).
At the end the participants expressed how grateful they were for all the love and inspiration they could receive through the workshop and requested that the workshop could be longer or happen more than once a year.
