Las Vegas Family Church 2018 First Annual Two-Day Leaders' Retreat

On Sunday, January 28, 2018 after Sunday Service, LVFC Organizational Leaders & Las Vegas Church Council — 16 people total — gathered together in an IPEC Conference Room for the beginning of our First Annual Two-Day Leaders’ Retreat.

The Retreat began with an End of Year Review including 30-minute Reflection Reports by each Organizational Leader. Each leader shared about their organization’s 2017 Goals, activities, successes & failures. After a short Dinner break, the group continued with Reports of Plans made or in process of being made for 2018.

Then a lively Question & Answer/Discussion Session among all of the participants was followed by a passionate and inspired presentation by Rev Doo. He outlined his overall vision for the Las Vegas Family Community in the coming year. He emphasized that, whereas in previous years we have begun the year centered on the separate goals and visions of each organization, this year it is his deep desire that all organizations will advance during the coming year with the same goal and vision under leadership of our True Mother.

Concluding the meeting, Rev. John Jackson---our newly appointed Sub-Regional Director — spoke. We were treated to his deep & personal reflections about the Sub-Regional Directors’ recent meeting with True Mother, His remarks concluded with his strong assertion that True Mother’s most fundamental 2018 directive is for each and every one of us to (1) Liberate our Ancestors and (2) Do Tribal Messiah activity!

This first day ended at 10:30 p.m. after which the participants returned to their homes.

The next day, Monday, January 29th, 8 members of the original group returned at 8 a.m. for a day outing to Death Valley National Park together with our Japanese Missionaries. The group took two short hikes in the Park and visited the Holy Ground which True Father established in 1965 at the Bad Water Salt Flats. There they offered representative & unison prayers for the success of True Mother’s plans, for her new Organizational System and for our local LVFC plans for 2018,

On the way back to Las Vegas these victorious leaders (Cheon Il Guk Pioneers) visited Becker family, our community member who lives in the nearby town of Pahrump.

The participants remarked that it was “really special”, “beautiful” and “nice” to begin 2018 by working hard, then traveling & enjoying God’s great gift--- His amazing Creation---together!
