A young adult congregant named Mr. Park, who was born with a hearing impairment, said he has gained a deep understanding of the Bible through the consistent effort of the Peter Sign Language Group. Speaking of his disability, his mother, Young-ae Park (41), who is also a congregant of the Shincheonji Gwangju Church, said, “I felt like it was my fault that my son was born with a hearing impairment, and as a mother, I was heartbroken.” To her joy, her desperate wish to share the Bible with her hearing-impaired son was answered 18 years later.

Since finding joy in his life of faith through the Word, Mr. Park is determined to grow and said, “I may not be able to hear with my ears, but I will try to understand the Word better than anyone else with my heart.”

Meanwhile, several congregation members of the Shincheonji Gwangju Church, including those in full-time work, who want to be able to help with professional qualifications, are voluntarily preparing for a sign language interpreter licence while holding down full-time jobs.

Meanwhile, this volunteer activity is part of the nationwide 'Green Nature' campaign of Shincheonji Volunteer Group. The campaign is purposed to preserve a beautiful nature for posterity by carrying out wetland conservation activities, environmental cleanups to protect major facilities and cultural assets, disaster recovery activities, public awareness campaigns for environmental protection, and the creation of flower paths in waste dumping areas.
