From the Caribbean to South Korea: A Journey of Faith and a New Direction in Life
At the recent Class 116 Graduation Ceremony of Zion Christian Mission Center, which was held at Shincheonji Cheongju Church, South Korea, a special story stood out among the 59,192 graduates from around the world.
One of them was Sigla Prince Robinson (40) from Trinidad and Tobago, a small island nation in the Caribbean with deep Christian roots. Travelling halfway across the world, Robinson described the experience as “a turning point in my life.”
Before studying the Bible, Robinson shared that he often felt lost and anxious. “I went through difficult times, visiting many churches, but my heart was never at peace,” he said. “One day I prayed in tears, asking God to show me the meaning of life.”
That prayer was answered through an unexpected encounter - a petrol station employee who introduced him to the Zion Christian Mission Centre, saying he had found true peace through Bible study.
There, Robinson began to see the world differently.
“I realised my life wasn’t a coincidence but part of a greater plan. Learning the Word gave me peace and confidence about the future,” he reflected.
He explained that as his understanding of the Bible deepened, his relationships also changed:
“I used to react emotionally and feel overwhelmed, but now I stay centred in the Word and have more patience and understanding toward others.”
Robinson’s journey to Korea for graduation was not without challenges. On his way to the airport, his car tire burst - just two hours before his flight. Despite the crisis, he stayed calm, sought help from a nearby petrol station, and managed to reach the airport just in time.
“That moment taught me that even in difficult situations, there’s always a way,” he said.
For Robinson, this milestone was not an end but a new beginning.
“Graduation isn’t about finishing a course; it means being ready to carry out the mission entrusted to me. Now I want to become a light that helps others,” he shared.
He also expressed deep gratitude for the kindness he received in Korea, saying,
“The warmth and care of the members made this experience unforgettable.”
A representative of Shincheonji Wangsimni Church said, “This graduation is one of many fruits of Bible education that transcends language and borders.”
An overseas centre official added that Zion Christian Mission Centre will continue to support international believers through education, translation, and mentoring, helping them grow both in faith and in life.
