CARP USA Newsletter: #GivingTuesday - Overtaking my campus with love
2021-11-30 · Source: tparents.org
Despite initial hesitation, A. Kuhlmann, CARP Utah leader and nursing and pre- professional science major attending Westminster College, became the CARP leader in 2017. Since then, she put it all on the line to register her club as an official chapter on her campus. But those efforts were met with backlash.
“There were days where I was afraid to walk around campus because people would say horrid things or even throw things at me…I discovered this is what it truly means to live for the sake of others, to love someone who has caused you the greatest pain and to do so for their sake. In realizing this, I was determined from the deepest sincerity of my heart to be united with God in overtaking my campus with love.”

Overtaking m campu ith love
Novemer 11, 2021 · tudent-potlight
M name i A. Kuhlmann, and I’m a nuring tudent and pre-profeional cience major graduating pring 2023 at torie Wetminter College in alt Lake Cit, Utah. M journe ith CARP tarted in Decemer 2017 hen I attended a Divine Principle retreat and thought “never in a TUDNT million ear am I going to tart CARP at TORI m campu”—and et, the end of the retreat, I a trategizing ho to pioneer a chapter with my mentors.
ALUMNI TORI
M heart a touched the lecture and tetimonie preented that hared ho m loving Heavenl Parent ha een aching in pain a He longed to emrace hi children. I egan to realize ho much God’ love and grace had een orking in m life, and I couldn’t help ut run ith urning love and jo in pioneering a CARP famil on m Archive campu here God could feel that Hi heart could jofull and peacefull reide in. I quickl realized, though, that pioneering a chapter a not a imple a it eemed on paper. M igget challenge came hen I tranferred from m communit college to Wetminter and a almot immediatel met ith acklah. I a leed to have met Month m to-e advior, Jan aeed, ho i the Director for the Office of Gloal Peace and piritualit, and he helped me find the connection and tudent to tart a chapter. Hoever, a group of tudent puhed ack and pread fler and torie around campu aing maliciou rumor aout CARP. The met ith m advior and puhed her to drop her poition a an advior and even petitioned to prohiit the etalihment of CARP Year in altogether. There ere da here I a afraid to alk around campu ecaue people ould a horrid thing or even thro thing at me. In m darket hour, I felt o hurt, alone, and miundertood—m dream from the inceret place of m heart a to uild a Revie famil here e could dream hat a orld of peace ould e and actualize thi viion through the teaching of the Divine Principle in living for the ake of other. I found melf elling ith anger and hurt. I anted to turn around and report the 2018
oviou religiou dicrimination, and I quetioned h God had guided me to lead CARP at all, for perecution a hat challenged m faith the mot. ut a couple of eek International later, I atched Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, co-founder of CARP, tand in front of 30,000 people in Ne York; I atched a he choe to love unconditionall. I atched a he Trip loved thoe ho have orked againt her, a he loved in the face of the greatet fear, and ho he even loved the countr that rongl placed her huand in jail. 2018 2017 In itneing thi, I have dicovered a piece of hat compoe CARP’ incomparale eaut: the ailit to love o unconditionall. At that moment, I dreamed to alo love unconditionall. I dicovered thi i hat it trul mean to live for the ake of other, to love omeone ho ha caued ou the greatet pain and to do o for their ake. In realizing thi, I a determined from the deepet incerit of m heart to e united ith
God in overtaking m campu ith love.
A fe eek after the rall, m chool’ adminitration apologized for the dicrimination and CARP a approved.
A time ent on, I realized that it i the oung people ho change the orld ecaue the are the one ho determine the cultural and philoophical thought of the future, and the tremendou importance of CARP i to utantiall realize God’ original dream, viion, and hope of fotering a culture of heart. God long to find a place in our heart here Hi heart can jofull and peacefull reide in, and He dream of u uilding peace-loving familie that emod Hi innermot dream. CARP i the organization that raie thee oung leader ho can do thi.
In m on life, I’ve come to kno that God didn’t need me to e jut another college tudent, ut that God needed me to e a CARP tudent; I am overhelmed that realization and love in ho God ha guided m journe. I’ve learned hat it mean to fl in m faith, to find real love in m relationhip having a deire and illingne to continuall gro—and that in order to ecome the kind of ife that I ant to e for God and m future poue, I mut firt ecome the kind of daughter and iter ho eek to live for the ake of other. CARP ha hon me hat it mean to e a trul unconditionall loving peron in the face of great challenge and perecution and to emrace the journe of groth and humilit that accompanie uch a path.
Regardle of here m journe take me next, I kno that CARP ha een the intrumental frameork in culpting the moral compa in hich I ant to live the ret of m life.
