On 17th of February 2019, Peter tribe of Shincheonji church of Jesus celebrated its first overseas graduation ceremony for 314 graduates (seven Buddhists and one Muslim) who have now completed an intensive six-month Bible study course from Zion Christian Mission Center, demonstrating sound understanding of the contents of the Bible. Peter tribe, which has its headquarters based in ‘the city of light’ of Gwangju, Jeonnam (south-west Korea), received the command to heal its national and overseas regions with the word of God and has been producing thousands of graduates yearly.

The number of overseas graduation ceremonies and graduates in 2017, 2018 and 2019 is one (1250), three (1726) and one (314), respectively. The total number of graduates of Peter tribe since 2013 has been 4147, 4295 (2014), 6,327 (2016), 2625 (2017) and 3111 (2018).

The reason why Shincheonji church has appeared in our times today and is experiencing such rapid growth is because it is the fulfilment of what God and Jesus promised in the New Testament - the New Heaven New Earth of Revelation 21. It is at Shincheonji church where the entire 66 books of the Bible - from Genesis to Revelation - can be clearly explained according to the contents of history, instruction, prophecy and fulfilment. The quality of the teaching here is unparalleled, unlike any other church or seminary in the world. It is a church where the new covenant, or promise - for which Jesus Christ shed his blood - is made known through Jesus’ promised messenger who has seen and heard all the events of Revelation and testifies it to all the churches of the world (Rv 22:8, 16).

Although we live in the most scientifically and technologically advanced era, science can not satisfy man's innate desire for answers to life's deepest questions including where we find our purpose, "truth" and freedom. Zion Christian Mission Center is able to answer all these questions clearly from the Bible. This is why recent graduates feel they have met "true religion." The six-month Bible study course covers beginners, intermediate and advanced levels which teaches ways to read the Bible, its history, and the meaning of the books of Revelation and Genesis, respectively. Each level is followed by a short exam with two further exams given at the end of the course comprising 400 questions.

The church is also very active in volunteer work through Shincheonji Volunteer Group (SVG), which is the largest non-governmental national organisation operating in the Republic of Korea with over 100,000 volunteers serving in disaster relief, blood donation, Korean War support for 6million veterans, regional development and public service campaigns. Its volunteers spread the love of God through continual care for the isolated and vulnerable. 

The Christian Council of Korea (CCK), which has distorted God's word of promise and is engaged in wide-scale abuses of religious freedom and human rights, should turn from its ways and come and learn the words of Shincheonji Church. Then, one will be able to quickly discern what is ‘orthodox’ and ‘cult’. The CCK has not once accepted the many invitations made by Shincheonji church to engage in public debate over the Bible.

Today’s Graduation service is a continuation of the hope that believers in Shincheonji church of Jesus have. It is here where God will fulfil His final promise of a world without mourning, death, crying or pain (Rv 21:4)
