The ‘100,000 Graduation Ceremony Photo Exhibition’ was held from the 10th at Shincheonji Daejeon Church, Matthias Tribe, of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (tribe HQ).

This photo exhibition will run until the end of this month, and is designed to vividly convey through photos the scale and process of the graduation ceremony, which produced 108,084 graduates, the largest in the world for a single denomination, to citizens who have not seen the graduation ceremony.

The photo exhibition will be accompanied by explanations by a docent and a mini lecture. The secret to holding the 100,000 graduation ceremony three times in a row, the large-scale mass card display by over 10,000 people held at the graduation ceremony, and the feast of photo exhibitions about various cultural events were well-received by participants.

At the opening of the photo exhibition, Bang-sik Jang, head lecturer of Shincheonji Daejeon Church, said, “For those who graduated at this graduation ceremony, it will have been an opportunity to gain perspective on the past and the hidden history of the Bible,” and “They have perceived the future that will come to us.”

He continued, “God and Jesus, the owners of life, have detailed through the Bible the solution to the cycle of birth, ageing, sickness and death, and are now making us perceive this through the word from Shincheonji. Now is the opportunity to become one of the main characters that you see in the graduation photo exhibition, and not just a spectator.” “I hope you have this desire,” he urged.

Mr. A, a graduate who attended the ‘100,000 Graduation Ceremony of the 12 Tribes of Shincheonji: Class 114 of Zion Christian Mission Center’ held in Daegu last November, looked at photos of the ‘100,000 Graduation Ceremony Photo Exhibition’ held at Shincheonji Daejeon Church and said, “The Zion Christian Mission Centre graduation ceremony symbolises the completion of one's studies, yet it is actually just the beginning — it is the first step towards becoming a true believer.”

In addition, Mr. A said, “I learned the Bible by taking lectures at the centre and online for a year, and the most important thing I realised is that heaven is being fulfilled on this earth.” He added, “The evidence is the graduation ceremony, and these photos will serve as a starting point for those who do not yet believe and have not come.” “I hope this will serve as an opportunity,” he said.

A young man who viewed the photo exhibition that day said, “In this day and age, the fact that over 100,000 people gathered in one place is a miracle in itself.”

The ‘100,000 Graduation Ceremony Photo Exhibition’ held at Shincheonji Daejeon Church will run from the 10th until the end of this month.

Meanwhile, since 1991, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has been holding a graduation ceremony every year for students who have completed the introductory, intermediate, and advanced education courses through the Zion Christian Mission Center, a free Bible education institution. 103,764 people completed the programme in 2019, 106,186 people completed it in 2022, and 108,084 people completed it this year.
