He walked through the Principles of Restoration in a practical manner, helping the youth understand the course God has carried out to restore humanity.
Mr. Cesar Regalado led a lecture on Resurrection, speaking on ancestral liberation from the perspective of the Divine Principle.
Mr. Carlos Hernández presented on the Second Coming and the Course of the True Parents.
