Moments captured on this day.
Reflections shared by participants during this event.
“Thank you for organizing the workshop. Personally, the parts I found most helpful were the National Update by Rev. Ronnie Sodusta, the Membership Database resource by Mrs. Mary Grace Carumba, and the message on the current providential course by Dr. Julius Malicdem. The National Update helped me better understand the current status and direction of the national movement. The Membership Database session was practical and useful, especially because Mrs. Carumba addressed real concerns during the Q&A even though it was not part of the original schedule. Dr. Malicdem’s message was also helpful because it gave me a clearer view of the parallel concepts of mission today and helped me understand where we are in providential history. Overall, the workshop helped me stay updated, although the sessions mentioned above were the ones that stood out to me the most.”

“Through attending in Moshim Workshop, I have learned that Witnessing is more than speaking about beliefs; it is showing them through our actions, attitudes, and daily actions.It invites us to be examples of hope and love in a world that often needs encouragement. It reminds us that every interaction is an opportunity to reflect our values.Effective witnessing comes from humility rather than pressure, listening rather than judging, and serving rather than seeking recognition. Also I earned the importance of giving tithes is often understood as returning a portion of what True Parents and Heavenly Parents have entrusted to us. More than a financial obligation, it is an act of worship, gratitude, and trust. When we give, we acknowledge that everything we have our resources, abilities, opportunities, and blessings ultimately comes from True Parents and Heavenly Parents. Lastly tithing is an invitation to grow in faith, stewardship, and generosity. It reminds us that true wealth is not found in what we keep, but in how faithfully we use what God has placed in our hands for His purposes.”
