With the theme “Becoming Pure Water: Reflecting the Heart of Heavenly Parent and True Parents in Me,” the Leadership Training Camp (LTC) 2026 was successfully conducted from May 25 to May 31, 2026 at Sun Hwa International Academy (SHIA), Antipolo City. The workshop gathered Blessed Children and young participants who sought to deepen their understanding of the heart and teachings of Heavenly Parent and True Parents. Organized as a week-long educational and character-building program, the camp aimed to nurture participants into filial sons and daughters who can take ownership for Heavenly Parent and True Parents while applying the Divine Principle in their daily lives.
Throughout the seven-day program, participants engaged in a variety of lectures, discussions, team-building activities, reflection sessions, and leadership development programs. Core Divine Principle topics such as the Principle of Creation, Human Fall, Restoration, the lives of central biblical figures, the Messiah, Resurrection, Predestination, Christology, Eschatology, Moses, Jesus, and the Second Advent were presented through interactive lectures and question-and-answer sessions. These educational components were complemented by group discussions, quizzes, lecture competition and personal reflection writing, allowing participants to internalize the lessons and connect them to their personal faith journey.
Beyond classroom learning, the workshop provided opportunities for participants to strengthen relationships and develop teamwork through icebreakers, team-building activities, an Amazing Race, cultural preparations, and a Cultural and Appreciation Night. One-on-one guidance sessions between leaders and members created a meaningful environment for mentorship and personal growth. These activities encouraged participants to practice cooperation, leadership, responsibility, and mutual respect while fostering a sense of community centered on shared values and faith.
A significant highlight of the workshop was the emphasis on understanding and embodying the heart of Heavenly Parent and True Parents. Through lectures, discussions, personal reflections, and experiential activities, participants were challenged to examine their character, strengthen their faith, and cultivate a lifestyle of service and filial devotion. The program encouraged them not only to gain knowledge of the Divine Principle but also to live its teachings through their actions, relationships, and daily decisions.
The workshop concluded with a Dream Speech, a Closing Ceremony, and final evaluations, allowing participants to express their insights and commitments moving forward. As the camp came to an end, participants departed with renewed determination to become “pure water” that reflects the heart of Heavenly Parent and True Parents. The Leadership Training Camp 2026 served as a meaningful platform for spiritual growth, leadership development, and character formation, empowering Blessed Children to become future leaders who embody the Divine Principle and contribute positively to their families, communities, and society.

Reflections shared by participants during this event.
“To conclude everything that I’ve learned throughout this workshop is: Heavenly Parent and True Parents have only one goal, centering all the foundations they laid for us, a unity of one family under God. Even if I finished all the Divine Principle lectures, I will still be determined to read it once again after I leave this workshop. Also, my goal is to finish and read every book, the autobiographies, Divine Principle editions, and the histories from the past where it is imprinted on every reading material. Most importantly, it is a sacred and most valued discovery in the Unification Movement. Lastly, but not the least, I had fun and broke all the ice from every activity. We did it. That’s all. Thank you! I feel ready and committed to do all my tasks, goals, and dreams in my life. I am really glad I joined this LTC workshop once again. Maybe sometime, if I can, I will join here once more and more workshops like these. This is not only for me, but it is for all of us who want to become pure water reflecting Heavenly Parent and True Parents in us. After this, I can fulfill all of these by just continuing to follow the path, the traditions, and the mission that our True Parents gave us. I am going to keep moving slowly but very surely. I will start to focus on the brighter side of life, staying positive at all times in any situation where I feel uneasy. I will appreciate God’s creation and will take part in caring for it so that it will be seen by future generations. I will stay faithful to Heavenly Parent and True Parents.”

“This time, I had the opportunity to serve as the coordinator of LTC 2026. Throughout this camp, I deeply reflected on how much I need to stand as an elder brother to my younger brothers and sisters. Seeing them during the workshop, I was reminded of how beautiful they truly are as sons and daughters of Heavenly Parent. As I watched them participate, learn, and grow, I felt even more determined in my own faith and responsibility. I realized that being an elder brother is not only about guiding them in activities or lectures, but also about setting an example through my heart, attitude, and actions. Personally, there were many ups and downs during the preparation and throughout the camp itself. There were moments when I felt challenged, tired, and uncertain. However, through all of these experiences, I could feel that Heavenly Parent was guiding me and giving me opportunities to grow. I felt that Heavenly Parent truly wanted me to change and mature into someone who can sincerely care for and guide my younger brothers and sisters. More than anything, this LTC reminded me that leadership begins with heart. It begins with loving and embracing others as Heavenly Parent’s children. Through this experience, I became more grateful for the trust that was given to me and more determined to continue growing so that I can better support and guide the younger generation in the future. Thank you very much.”
