7-Day Divine Principle Retreat - March 2020


  • 6590 Bermuda Road Las Vegas, NV, 89119 United States (map)

Update as of 12:00 p.m. EST, 3/13/20: March Chosen Seminar Postponed

Dear Chosen Participants:

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” (1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, some might wonder: Where is God?

We, your National Pastors, have been chosen by True Mother and with her, we assure you that God is in the world and God cares for you. And, we care for you, too.

In light of the concern of the spread of the Coronavirus, we have made the decision to postpone the CHOSEN 7-day workshop in Las Vegas this month. We feel it is wise to limit travel in order to minimize the spread of the virus.

Let us continue to pray that we, as children of God, can jointly overcome the challenges that come with this outbreak. We know faith is our strongest weapon, but our portion of responsibility requires actions as well, and in this case the correct action is avoid travel and large gatherings to help slow down and prevent the virus from spreading as quickly.

We will keep everyone informed about the next steps and new dates. Remember, we extend true love to you for it’s the greatest power on earth.

God Bless you all,

Rev. Demian Dunkley                     Dr. Luonne A. Rouse

President, Family Federation USA                National Co-Chair, ACLC


Please note: In light of the Coronavirus outbreak, we'd like to remind everyone to take these precautions and generally follow the World Health Organization's guidelines for health and safety. More information can be found at the WHO Website.

  1. If you are feeling sick, or if any member of your household is sick, please don’t come to the event (and generally avoid public areas).

  2. If you are coughing, please be sure to cough into your elbow (the way we teach our children).

  3. Make sure to wash your hands regularly and frequently.

  4. Avoid touching your face. (If your hands are contaminated, touching your mouth, nose, or eyes can get the virus into your body.)

  5. We will have hand sanitizer available at our events, but we also encourage you to have your own personal one handy with you.

  6. Avoid hugs and handshakes as much as possible.

Thank you!


In order to kick off 2020 in the right spirit, the American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC) and the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) USA team are organizing three 7-Day Divine Principle seminars titled ‘Chosen.’ These workshops will be held for ACLC state leaders and representatives, as well as key ACLC clergy.  

Our second seminar will be held at the International Peace Education Center (IPEC) from Sunday March 15 to Saturday March 21.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our ACLC partners to discuss Jesus’ understanding of his own mission, gain clarity on the current direction of ACLC, and learn how clergy can unite to create peace throughout the nation and the world through the Blessing.

The seminar has limited space and is invite-only. For questions or to recommend a highly involved ACLC pastor you know, please communicate directly with your Family Federation state leader.

If you are unsure of who your Family Federation state leader is, please contact our retreat Operations Manager, Gregg Smith, at divineprincipleretreat@unification.org for more info.

We invite you to keep this very special seminar in your thoughts and prayers.
