Today we’re joined by Roland Platt. Roland was born in Jersey, the British Channel Islands. After embarking on a spiritual journey at age 17 and traveling the world for five years in search of the truth, he met the Unification movement in December 1992 in San Francisco.

He had studied multiple religions and spiritual practices but knew instantly that this was what he had been seeking. His life took on a whole new meaning as he applied Divine Principle to his life and later received the Marriage Blessing, the main sacrament of the Unification Church. Roland found his true calling as the leader of a Unificationist youth missionary program, to which he has dedicated himself for over 20 years.

His passions are travel, being in the great outdoors, and impacting the next generation of Unificationists. His wife Dyzhit and he have four children and live in New York’s Hudson Valley.
