The Global Top Gun workshop, taking place in Cheong Pyeong, Korea from Feb. 1-22, is wrapping up its first week, which was filled to the brim with educational and training sessions. Participants transitioned from getting to know a multicultural group of young leaders to sharing their perspectives and dreams openly. They especially loved hearing from Unification Thought lecturer, Gerry Servito, who initiated an ongoing discussion among Global Top Gunners about the true nature of God’s heart. The following are the most recent reflections and epiphanies from the participants. To hear more, listen to the podcast and check out the Top Gun Blog.

“Gerry Servito gave a presentation on the trends of intellectual history during the last 400 hundred years. He revealed the dynamic of conflict that has existed between schools of thought that defend and support God on the one hand, and those that challenge and deny God on the other. During the question and answer session that followed, many of us shared our gratitude and our frustration about the new understanding that this lecture brought. It was so good to gain clarity about the significance of the intellectual tradition but also alarming to learn how much God’s voice and heart have been pushed out of the universities all around the world—how we ourselves have inherited far more from the skeptical and cynical cultures of the world than we had realized.”

“On top of being a person made out of a rainbow of beautiful emotions, Gerry Servito is an incredible lecturer full of sensibility and passion about Heavenly Parent’s heart. I’m literally amazed. Why? He just made me feel it more clearly.”

“I’m really understanding where the education team is coming from, and it’s quite brilliant. We started with Uncle Gerry’s lecture, from which we started really discussing our personal life of faith and our individual growth. Now we’re moving on to worldwide issues, history, world wars, and we’re starting to share with each other what is it that we want to see different in this world, what change we want to make. I really feel like we’re starting to become Top Gun global leaders.”
-Sholina Pearson
“We most appreciated the idea from the lectures that the invisible God had intended to make Him- and Herself visible to all of humankind through the three-generational family, that God had always meant to love us—and most loves us—through a parent’s love for his and her child, and a child’s love for his and her parents and siblings, and the grandparents’ love for the whole of the family. The theme underlying everything that happened today, in my mind, was that of attendance. Gerry explained that ‘attendance’, in its Chinese characters, means to keep a person in heart, to love and be faithful to a person no matter what, and that that is the foundation a true leader needs to build.”
