This was said by a pastor who attended the ‘Class 114 100,000 Graduation Ceremony’ photo exhibition held at Shincheonji Wonju Church, Philip Tribe, of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.

Photo exhibitions showing the 100,000 graduation ceremony and the emotions of that day were held in various regions of the Philip region, and the response from citizens was very positive.

The Wonju Church is holding a photo exhibition at its public relations centre, and various photos have been placed so that ‘misunderstandings and prejudices’ about Shincheonji can be resolved by looking at just one photo.

As it was an event attended by over 100,000 people, pictures of believers lined up at the event venue showing order and safety, beautiful Heavenly Culture artistic performances, and photos of bright facial expressions were displayed.

Byeong-soo Kim, the person in charge of the photo exhibition, said, “We chose about 100 photos out of over 10,000 photos with much consideration so that you can feel the realism through the photos,” and added, “I hope you can feel the image of Shincheonji’s heavenly culture to your heart’s content.”

In addition, Shincheonji Gangneung Church held a photo exhibition at the Zion Mission Centre in the region on the 15th and 16th December, and prepared an audio-visual room where you can experience the scenes of the 100,000 graduation ceremony, the changing of domestic and international church signboards, the signing of an MOU (enabling the revealed word from Shincheonji to be taught to respective church congregations worldwide), a graduation gown experience, and a photo zone.

In the evening when the photo exhibition was held, there was a special time under the theme of 'Why you need to know the Bible' and the crowd was so large that there were not enough tables and chairs prepared.

Donghae Church also made Shincheonji Church known to local residents and established a place of communication for coexistence with the region.

Mr. Lee (67 years old), head of a civil society group, said, “I had no idea of the magnitude of Shincheonji Church and the sheer number of its members.” He added, “In particular, after watching the video of the 100,000 graduation ceremony card section, about 10,000 people came.”

“It was impressive to see so many people come together as one and express the contents of the Book of Revelation in a coherent manner,” he said.

Chungju Church held a photo exhibition at the Zion Mission Centre twice on the 9th and 16th December, and had a meaningful time with the attendance of about 20 local figures and over 300 citizens. There was also a highlight video and a cafeteria containing moments from the 100,000 graduation ceremony. 

Mr. Kim, who attended the event, said, “Just looking at the photos is amazing, but I think it would have been even better if I had seen it in person.” Expressing his determination, he said, “It was a time to appease my regret for not being able to attend the graduation ceremony — I will definitely attend next year.”

Chuncheon Church hoed the ‘Shincheonji Year-End Invitational’, a 100,000 graduation ceremony photo exhibition, at a prepared location on the 22nd by inviting friends, family, pastors, and residents. The event was decorated with time for communication and refreshments with participants, including a Shincheonji Q&A, Zion mission center course introduction, and a graduation gown experience.

An official from Philip Tribe said, “The 100,000 Graduation Ceremony Photo Exhibition has become a meaningful event where misunderstandings and prejudices are resolved through communication with citizens.” He added, “We at the Philip Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus will continue to carry out various cultural activities that can be shared with local citizens.”
