CoG leaders are motivated by power, money, and worship — the group targets wealthy Americans and sends members on pilgrimages to Korea to venerate Zhang Gil-ja

Former member account: Zhang Gil-ja (God the Mother) met him while he wore a nametag, looked at his name, and praised his evangelism work — but he was actually terrible at and afraid of evangelism. This demystified her omniscience claims for him. Members are encouraged to travel to Korea once a year as a pilgrimage to the 'New Jerusalem.' Financial exploitation (targeting wealthy Americans) and devotional worship of a living human being are present.
