In the wake of the ‘Class 116 of Zion Christian Mission Center Graduation Ceremony’ held in Shincheonji Cheongju Church on 2nd November, which celebrated the graduation of 59,192 students who have now mastered the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, the Shincheonji Daejeon Church (part of the Matthias Tribe) operated a post-graduation celebration ‘pop-up store’ on the 9th November.
On that day, graduates and their families visited the 'Newcielo Cafe' on the first floor of the PR Center (Promotional Hall) in Daejeon, which served as an experiential space where graduates could commemorate the journey of faith and celebrate each other’s growth after completing their faith education through commemorative items like postcards and stickers, a photo zone to capture the moment of graduation, and a social media hashtag event.
Mr. Kim, a 50-year-old working at a public institution, shared his personal experience of facing opposition and misunderstanding from his family. “At first, I had my doubts, but as I learned, they gradually cleared up. As the once-difficult Bible became more connected and understandable, conversations at home became smoother. Now, I worship with my family and share my heart with them,” he said.
The graduates varied in occupation and age, but the core of their transformation was the same. They shared the common thread that change began within themselves, not externally. They unanimously stated, “The Word became the blueprint for our lives,” and “Our standards for success changed.”
Meanwhile, the graduation ceremony held on 2nd November was themed "Love and Blessing, the Light that Illuminates the World." Over 20,000 graduates filled the venues inside and outside the Shincheonji Cheongju Church. Due to limited space, the remaining graduates dispersed to Shincheonji Church of Jesus locations around the world and abroad to join in online, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
