2nd Year Participant
Empower became one of the most meaningful experience of my life. Thanks to Empower, I could deeply strengthen my faith and better understand God and True Parents, which changed my future and perspective within the movement.
During this experience, I learned that with God everything is possible, even the things that once felt too difficult for me. Empower helped me grow not only spiritually, but also personally: I became more confident, more disciplined, more responsible, and learned how to truly be myself. One of the most important lessons for me was learning how to say no and how to live more genuinely. The environment constantly challenges you to grow, and at the same time you are surrounded by brothers and sisters who inspire and support you every day, and you cannot stay the same person. Through Empower, I could truly practice the meaning of living for the sake of others and understand what it means to live with and for God. At the same time, I built long-term friendships that became like a real family to me, full of love, support, and unforgettable memories.
Before Empower, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to participate because of financial difficulties, and I know there are many young people who feel the same way. That is why your support is so meaningful, because it can change a person’s life, faith, and future.
None of this would have been possible without the support of sponsors who believed in young people like me. I really hope for many future participants to also have the chance to experience this beautiful journey, grow through it, and discover their own path with God through Empower.

Hi I’m Michael a 23 year old student from Austria. I’m currently on the Spirituality Workshop in Korea. I deliberated for a long time if I should join Empower and maybe to join only from January onwards as to not delay my progress in my studies by two full semesters.
Just today (on September 9th) on the Tree of Blessing, while talking with my mom did my thoughts crystallize: I need a mentor and grow my faith … because I want to prepare myself for the blessing as well as contribute to the future of our movement more and that I should start from October 1st!
