| Peter Heavenly Culture Academy 1st presentation held at Shincheonji Gwangju Church on the 22nd |
“The 'Peter's Heavenly Culture Academy', which began its first term with the children and student groups of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, is not simply a stage for them to show off what they have learned, but the process itself of the children experiencing faith firsthand and growing together with other friends, which holds great meaning. I hope that through these experiences, they will be able to develop proper character and pursue their dreams according to God’s will.”
The Gwangju Church of the Peter tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereinafter referred to as Shincheonji Gwangju Church) concluded the 6-week training course (January 6st - February 21st) of the 1st 'Peter's Heavenly Culture Academy' and successfully held its presentation on the 22nd. The leader of the Peter tribe, Jae-wook Yoo, encapsulated the essence of the 'Peter's Heavenly Culture Academy' above.
The Peter's Heavenly Culture Academy was established to build character and faith among the youth during the holidays. The Academy is run through 'talent donations (skills taught for free)' from church members who are involved in cultural activities and clubs.
During the 6-week holiday period, 471 members of the students and children's groups of the Shincheonji Gwangju Church participated in 29 classes given by saints with talent and experience in the fields of art, culture, and sport. Congregants who 'donated their talent' directly participated as instructors and imparted professional knowledge and skills to the students, enabling students and children to discover and develop their individual talents.
A 16-year-old female student who participated in the sign language class said, “It was a holiday that I could have spent any which way, but it was a valuable time because I was able to learn sign language, which was difficult to do because there aren't many places that teach it.”
The mother of a student who completed the Peter's Heavenly Culture Academy course said, “I didn't know that my child would shine on stage like this. I was worried about how we would spend this holiday period, so I am grateful for the valuable experience.”
Meanwhile, the Gwangju branch of Shincheonji Church of Jesus plans to hold a second term during the summer holiday in July and August.
