STF Europe News Letter for March 2014

On the 24th of March all the STF members came back to Schimitten from witnessing. In the last condition 4 STF witnessing teams could bring 12 guests to a 4 day DP workshop in Mulet, Albania. From the 24th till the 27th we had the Easter FR workshop under the motto “One in heart with my belief”. Will A, who did 3 years of STF, came to the workshop as a lecturer and gave a lecture about ownership and responsibility. The 2nd years did a basketball challenge for 9 hours. Even though they could not achieve their goal, they could gain unity between themselves. It was also a great opportunity to redetermine themselves for the coming easter FR condition. One evening 6 first years, from each witnessing team, gave beautiful testimonies about their experiences in witnessing. Now, 6 new teams are made and have left for Fundraising Activity for 21 days. I ask your sincere prayers for their safety and success.

Easter FR Workshop reflections

Simone T From this workshop I learnt a lot about unity and love. When 2nd years are in mission, we are alone or in pairs. we don’t spend so much time together as the 1st years. For me the basketball challenge was good to spend time with my brothers and sisters. what I learnt was to believe in each other, we are all connected and even if we didn’t succeed in it we brought internal victory.

Corina P Even though this workshop was really short, I could actually really see the value in it. I could really see how much I had changed in the way I am able to relate to people and understand people. I was particularly able to talk to people I hadn’t really had the chance to get to know before without awkwardness in a really natural way. I also felt like I could be completely happy with people on the workshop. Be free. So I guess that I would say that one of the biggest things I learnt or realized was just how much I had changed over this meaningful time. I could also get a lot more determination again for fundraising somehow. Some of the best moments were the testimonies. I really enjoyed them because I was really happy to see that some of the people had really deep experiences – that they could really gain some things of value from this. I also enjoyed the circle of life because it was nice to be able to go deeper with some people that I don’t know as well.

Seunghyung Y I really loved Will’s lectures/testimony because I could relate to what he was saying much more than last year. Over the past month, I think I’ve slowly been looking for ways to do better, be better than yesterday, and even the days that have been steadly out from HDH and WT was to always try to succeed and be victorious like TF and also like my name. So when Will was talking about becoming better, taking more responsibility, to challenge our limits, go deeper and represent TP’s. I feel like this is what I need now, especially to develop better habits and attitude for life at home.

Yuhee H I think this ws was really short, but I could learn some important messages through this ws. In HDH (peace message), I could think about how to become a “True Parent, True Teacher and True Owner” and how can I practice it when I go back home. In STF, we always try to practice MBU and LFSO which is following our concrenee. When I go back home, I also want to focus on my love, focus on MBU and LFSO practicing true love. My best moment in this ws was giving my testimony. It was my first time, so it was really challenging for me. I was so nervous, but I could overcome by thinking that im offering it for heavenly parents and true parents, so I can do it. By challenging my challenge, I could grow more. Even if I have so many struggles in STF, I found something precious after that.
