STF Europe Newsletter for November 2013

Dear Parents and Friends, All STF members came back safely to Schmitten on November 15th after one month of fundraising experiences. The midway workshop lasted for 3 days till November 19th under the motto, ”With a Whole Heart’ which allowed the members to deepen their faith and relationship with our Heavenly Parents. The main lecturer, Matthew Huish, focused on explaining all the different levels of heart and restoration which deeply connected them to our Heavenly Parents’ heart. Many people came to support this workshop including Michael Youmans as a MC, ’s family, Mari Isacson, Godwin Chionna, Seija Kuenzig and Stephanie Meyer. On November 16th evening we listened to inspiring testimonies from the 1st and 2nd years. On the next day evening we had a good time sharing and offering the amazing talents of brothers and sisters. New teams were formed and all STF members have departed for the 2nd fundraising condition until December 24th. I would like to ask for your sincere prayers and thoughts for our brothers’ and sisters’ safety and success. S. Choi STF Europe Director

- Midway Workshop Relfection: “With a whole heart“ -

I could learn from the lectures that the ultimate purpose of the universe created by god is to return joy to God. Thus, next condition I want to make joyful offering to God. Yuhee Han

We all have differences, we are not perfect yet. but if we give our effort, accepting we are not perfect and trying to offer with a pure heart for others, for God, we can grow step by step. Akio Friesacher

I could understand the importance of giving my whole heart in whatever I am doing. Pascal and matthew’s lectures were extremely clear and I could gain a lot from them. especially about how our relationship with God and True parents is a day to day process that we decide to get started and how the secret to become a true owner is to invest our whole heart and true love Sun Yang

This workshop helped me to identify where I am emotionally, intellectually and with my will. I feel more clear on how to over come certain challenges. I have also learnt that simply accepting everything you hear is not the best way to discover and grow. Dong-Soon Chen
