Photo Exhibition: Skokie Mayor Attends Historical 100K Person Graduation Ceremony by Zion Christian Mission Center

Skokie, Illinois Dec 14, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - The December 10th photo exhibition of the 113th Graduation Ceremony of Zion Christian Mission Center (ZCMC) was held at North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie, IL, and had over 300 guests in attendance, including Goerge Van Dusen, -- who been Skokie's mayor since 1999 -- Minister Attorney Renita Ward, and Tommy Hanson. The photo exhibition was a celebration of life given through the Word of God as congratulations and appreciation for the journey of the 106,186 graduates from the ZCMC.  

The event began with the welcoming of guests by the General Manager of the Chicago Church, Jared Dittmer, and a welcome speech from Mayor Goerge Van Dusen of Skokie, IL. It was followed by a presentation and introduction of Shincheonji by two volunteers of the Chicago Church. Notable guests such as Renita Ward and later Tommy Hanson also shared impassioned speeches about being bold in professing faith and holding onto God. Guests participated in a lively raffle of many gifts after a walk through the exhibit with guides stationed and available to share more context for photos. Finally, 2 guests participated, as representatives of their organizations, in an MOU signing ceremony. 

The photo exhibition of the 113th Graduation Ceremony displayed images and highlight videos that allowed attendees to bear witness not only to the number of graduates but also introduced the Chicago Church, the local Shincheonji Church in the Midwest. Attendees came from as far as Boston and even California, with the mayor of Skokie there to welcome everyone. Mayor Van Dusen expressed how impressed he was with the number of graduates from Zion Christian Mission Center, and encouraged all attendees to return for future events. 

With many guests expressing their awe of the event and seeing many members of the community in attendance, one fact astonished them the most -- the course that the 106,186 graduates studied and completed by learning "the secrets of heaven" was completely free. Several guests affirmed they were interested in enrollment in the theology school and hearing more about the options available for those interested in the Christian Bible.

On November 20th, 2022, the Zion Christian Mission Center held a graduation ceremony for over 100,000 international theology students who completed a 9-month bible course. Only 3 years after the last 100,000 graduation ceremony, many people have wondered what draws people to come and stay the course through graduation and beyond. The Chairman, Lee Man-hHee, leader of Shincheonji Church of Jesus has said repeatedly during several press conferences that have spanned each continent, "God is with Shincheonji Church."

In Chairman Lee's speech from the November 20th graduation, he emphasized Isaiah 1, urging Christians - pastors especially, and leaders of other religions to convene and come to a peaceful resolution with the word as the standard. " Our hope has to be achieved in order for our faith to be valuable," he says. And the hope that the students of the Zion Christian Mission Center and members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus all have is that peace will spread around the world, citizens of many countries will embrace a new understanding of the Bible and the word of God, and all will understand the prophecies of Revelation that are seen today.
