From the Caribbean to Korea: A Journey of Faith and a New Direction in Life

Trinidad and Tobago graduate finds peace and purpose through the Word at Zion Christian Mission Center

At the recent Class 116 Graduation Ceremony of Zion Christian Mission Center, held at Shincheonji Cheongju Church, a special story stood out among the 59,192 graduates from around the world.

One of them was Sigla Prince Robinson (40) from Trinidad and Tobago, a small island nation in the Caribbean with deep Christian roots. Traveling halfway across the world, Robinson described the experience as “a turning point in my life.”

A Life Transformed by the Word

Before studying the Bible, Robinson shared that he often felt lost and anxious.

“I went through difficult times, visiting many churches, but my heart was never at peace,” he said. “One day I prayed in tears, asking God to show me the meaning of life.”

That prayer was answered through an unexpected encounter — a gas station employee who introduced him to Zion Christian Mission Center, saying he had found true peace through Bible study.

There, Robinson began to see the world differently.

“I realized my life wasn’t a coincidence but part of a greater plan. Learning the Word gave me peace and confidence about the future,” he reflected.

He explained that as his understanding of the Bible deepened, his relationships also changed:

“I used to react emotionally and feel overwhelmed, but now I stay centered in the Word and have more patience and understanding toward others.”

Faith That Overcame Obstacles

Robinson’s journey to Korea for graduation was not without challenges. On his way to the airport, his car tire burst — just two hours before his flight. Despite the crisis, he stayed calm, sought help from a nearby gas station, and managed to reach the airport just in time.

“That moment taught me that even in difficult situations, there’s always a way,” he said.

For Robinson, this milestone was not an end but a new beginning.

“Graduation isn’t about finishing a course; it means being ready to carry out the mission entrusted to me. Now I want to become a light that helps others,” he shared.

He also expressed deep gratitude for the kindness he received in Korea, saying,

“The warmth and care of the members made this experience unforgettable.”

Faith Beyond Borders

A representative of Shincheonji Wangsimni Church said,

“This graduation is one of many fruits of Bible education that transcends language and borders.”

An overseas center official added that Zion Christian Mission Center will continue to support international believers through education, translation, and mentoring, helping them grow both in faith and in life.
