CARP Dallas finds their "Why" at Winter Retreat

Contributed by Andrew Olson

The CARP Team in Dallas, TX held their Annual “Discover Purpose” Principle Workshop from January 9 to 11! The theme of the workshop was “The Why” to highlight why we do things in our life, why do unexpected events happen, and to show that God has many plans for us in our physical life.

Our guest speaker was Rev. Sakai. We also joined Sunday Service by Rev. Jackson. We covered the Unification Principle as well as CARP’s founders’ life story and how they invested every day, enduring unbelievable hardship, to build a world of peace.

Thirteen participants including staff attending this workshop; with a smaller number, it felt a lot more intimate and opened up a space to connect more deeply with one another. A lot of people opened up a lot more since we were a smaller group. The environment felt like we can trust each other and knew we can support each other no matter the situation or circumstance.

On participant, after hearing the content, is determined to go out and practice these principles in his daily life. Everybody else around felt inspired by his determination, and we all determined together that we will change this world and it all centers around us, peace starts with me.
