Graduate student Hyeon-mo Jeong's graduation speech, following the awarding of the certificate, tassel ceremony, and presentation of the awards, also received a lot of attention.
The graduate student, Jeong, the current Education Vice President of I.U.C Korean graduate school, stated Last year, I was invited as a guest to the 100,000th graduation ceremony for the class of 113. I was very curious about the secret behind the gathering of 100,000 people every year despite severe persecution, and I also wondered about how the young people who filled the stadium were so lively and vigorous. I decided to take a course at the Zion Christian Mission Center after hearing that the secret was the word, he said.
He disclosed, Following the belief that I will not walk unless it is the right path, I simultaneously took the masters and doctoral courses at the Zion Christian Mission Center and an (established denominations) graduate school of Theology, and, The level of teaching was truly different, like heaven and earth. Shincheonji testified not only the true meaning of the Book of Revelation but also the reality of fulfillment, without adding to or subtracting from it. As a child of light who delivers the word of God, I will repay this grace and love, he emphasized.
At this 100,000 completion ceremony, a total of 6,274 current and former pastors and seminarians from domestic and abroad graduated, attracting further attention. This is a more than 10-fold increase compared to last years graduation ceremony, which 522 pastors graduated from.
The graduation ceremony, requiring significant effort for order and safety, was successfully executed by the Shincheonji Church of Jesus. A 10-hour transportation plan was implemented, using 2,200 tour buses to manage the large gathering, strategically distributing garages across various areas. With a team leader in each vehicle, volunteer guides, and a total of 14,000 safety personnel, the focus was on comprehensive safety management. Additionally, medical booths, emergency services, and ambulance standby teams were operational.
An official from Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, Considering its large scale, we focused on safety and order, and added, To prepare for a drop in temperature and emergency situations, we also put a lot of effort into constructing a medical system, including conducting emergency rescue training and dispatching medical staff.
He continued, Among all denominations around the world, Shincheonji Church of Jesus is the only place where more than 100,000 saints come every year. This is because the word of truth is in Shincheonji and God and Jesus are together. I hope you will verify the word and become one within the Bible, he urged.
