Massive conversions demonstrate the power of the "Book of Revelation."

181 new pastors also voluntarily participated in training.


84 churches in 10 cities in Ethiopia changed their church signs to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.

On the 10th September, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus' Peter Tribe held a "Signboard Replacement Ceremony for 84 Ethiopian Churches." At the ceremony, the 84 pastors became members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and shared the words of the New Covenant, the Book of Revelation, resolving to become one through the "Word of Revelation."

This achievement was achieved when Pastor Asefa Angeto (President of the Misgana Church Association), who attended the '2nd International Invitational Revelation Special Lecture' held at the Shincheonji Cheongju Church in November of last year, returned to his home country of Ethiopia and continued to hold seminars for local churches.

Pastor Angeto previously held seminars in over 100 churches across 10 cities, testifying to the revealed word he had learned from Shincheonji.

This signboard change is considered a significant achievement that goes beyond a simple name change and spreads a Bible-centred exchange throughout the Ethiopian church community.

At this commemoration ceremony, pastors representing 84 churches declared, “We have become believers of Shincheonji Church of Jesus who have mastered the words of the New Covenant Revelation,” and pledged, “We will spread the words of Revelation throughout Ethiopia, and both pastors and believers will follow only the truth and work harder in the ministry of the word.”

An official from the Peter Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus stated, “Currently, 181 pastors in Ethiopia are learning the revealed word of Shincheonji Church of Jesus,” and “We will work to spread the word that the prophecy of Revelation has been fulfilled today and to help the global Church become one in the word.”

In a significant legal ruling, the Suwon District Court has sided with Shincheonji Church of Jesus, declaring that Gwacheon City’s refusal to approve the church’s building use change was unlawful. The verdict not only confirms the church’s rights but also sends a powerful message about the importance of protecting religious freedom under South Korea’s Constitution.

What is the background to this ruling? Since 2006, Shincheonji Church has used the ninth floor of the New Core Outlet building in Gwacheon as a place of worship. Originally listed as a "business facility," the church applied to have it reclassified as a "cultural and assembly facility" to reflect its true function. For over 15 years, this space was peacefully used as a church, and the city raised no objections.

However, during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Gwacheon City closed the church without legal basis. Even after the situation improved, the city warned that continued religious activities without the approved designation would lead to penalties. This was seen by many as a clear attempt to limit Shincheonji’s religious activities.

In response, Shincheonji filed a lawsuit challenging the city's refusal. On April 24th 2025, the Suwon District Court ruled that Gwacheon City's actions were illegal and unconstitutional.

The court emphasised that:
- Changes within the same facility category must be approved under Korea’s Building Act
- Issues like traffic, safety, or local complaints are not valid reasons for denial
- Refusing the church’s application amounted to a violation of religious freedom, which is guaranteed by the Constitution
- The court also ordered Gwacheon City to pay all legal costs, reinforcing the severity of their administrative misconduct

The decision serves as a strong precedent, showing that prejudice, public pressure, or misinformation cannot justify violating fundamental rights. It reminds us that government authorities must respect legal boundaries and cannot use administrative procedures to unfairly target or suppress certain religions.

Following the court’s decision, Shincheonji Church expressed deep relief. A church representative said:-
“This ruling reaffirms our right to worship freely and recognizes the unfair treatment we’ve endured. It is a clear rejection of biased and unlawful administration.”

The church plans to work constructively with Gwacheon City to resume worship and continue serving the community in full compliance with the law.

The Suwon Court’s decision is not only a legal victory for Shincheonji but a powerful reminder that religious freedom must be upheld at all costs. This case shows how the judicial system can correct unfair treatment and protect minority faiths from unjust restrictions. It’s a hopeful step toward a more just, fair, and inclusive society.

Tribe leader Young-bin Yoo delivers a sermon at the Shincheonji Church of Jesus' Seoul James Church
“The Standard of Faith is God and His Word.”

On September 6th 2025, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Hwajeong Church (Simon Tribe), held a large-scale Bible seminar on Revelation which drew in an attendance of 1000 people, including congregation members, pastors, local residents, and media representatives. The heart of the lecture was encapsulated by the expression delivered by the keynote speaker above.

Delivering his sermon on Revelation 22:18–19, Tribe Leader Young-bin Yoo spoke on the theme of “Faith Recognised by God.” He emphasised that sincere faith is not merely affiliation with a denomination but is measured by reverence, obedience, and the Word itself.

“Faith means to believe, to uphold, to fear, and to live in reverence,” he said. “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? The standard of true faith is God, Jesus, and the Word.”

He urged attendees to receive the Word with sincerity and, like the Bereans in Acts, examine the Scriptures daily to confirm what is true.

Yoo highlighted the importance of knowing the entire Bible, stressing that no one can enter heaven without keeping the book of Revelation without addition or subtraction. “Only when we remain in the One who gives us strength, searching the Scriptures faithfully, can we receive every blessing God has promised,” he said.

The event also underscored a broader trend. Since 2023, a total of 8510 people have attended Shincheonji’s Bible seminars, with around 1700 joining this year alone. Nationwide, 917 churches in Korea have signed MOUs with Shincheonji for Scripture-based exchanges, and 112 have gone so far as to update their signage to reflect the partnership.

Participants described the gathering as a meaningful opportunity to reflect on their own walk of faith. The atmosphere was marked by both reverence and urgency as listeners were reminded that Revelation’s promises are not symbolic mysteries but living words to be understood and kept.

The Seoul James Tribe affirmed that more Bible seminars will continue, offering pastors, believers, and seekers the chance to experience the testimony of Revelation for themselves.

The "Simon Tribe Bible Seminar" is underway at Hwajeong Church in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on the 6th September

“Through this seminar, I found no doctrinal issues. I plan to sign an MOU with Shincheonji soon and connect my congregations so they too can study Revelation.”

On September 6th 2025, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Hwajeong Church (Simon Tribe), held a large-scale Bible seminar on Revelation which drew in an attendance of 1500 people, including pastors and believers online and offline. A Protestant pastor in attendance shared his reflection above following the lecture.

Delivering the keynote lecture, Tribe Leader Seung-ju Lee emphasised that Revelation is not simply a mysterious book but the promised Word testified by Jesus himself.

Quoting Revelation 22:18–19, he warned that adding to or taking away from the prophecy brings judgment. Lee explained that today is the era of fulfilment, when believers must learn from the “promised pastor” - the messenger who has directly seen and heard the events of Revelation’s fulfilment - in order to fully understand the Bible.

As part of his teaching, he offered detailed explanations of the three mysteries recorded in Revelation (the seven stars and seven golden lampstands, the beast with seven heads and ten horns, and the seventh trumpet) and the three types of judgments (seals, trumpets, and bowls).

Several attendee pastors acknowledged that the seminar corrected long-held misunderstandings about Shincheonji.

One pastor admitted, “For years, many in the church world claimed that Shincheonji teaches Chairman ManHee Lee is Jesus, but I confirmed today that this is not true. From the perspective of biblical redemption history, there is nothing problematic here.”

Another pastor with 40 years of ministry experience commented, “I’ve engaged in interfaith activities with many denominations, but something always felt lacking. By fully learning Revelation at the Centre (Shincheonji Church's Bible teaching institute), I hope to contribute to uniting all religions ‘in the truth.’”

This event reaffirmed Shincheonji’s commitment to spreading the correct understanding of Revelation and highlighted a significant shift in attitudes toward Shincheonji and its testimony on Revelation.

On the morning of Saturday, August 16th 2025, despite ongoing heat wave warnings, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group's "Wise Summer Living" programme, held by members of the Uijeongbu Church, did not cease.

On that day, six volunteers from the Shincheonji Uijeongbu Church visited the home of an elderly person living alone in the Baekseokcheon residential area of ​​Ganeung, Seoul. 

Volunteers had a precious time sharing their warm hearts along with carrying out practical repair services, including broken fans, an old refrigerator and electrical fixtures in the bathroom. One resident said, “Just having someone come and help me like this makes me happy.”

Volunteers were provided with ladders, tool kits, and electrical insulation tape.

Households receiving the service were selected in advance through the village head. 

One elderly gentleman had been enduring the heat by spreading newspaper on the floor and using a fan. After about 30 minutes of fan repair, the fan started spinning powerfully, and the gentleman held the volunteer's hand tightly, saying, “Thank you so much. Thanks to you, today feels like summer has become a little cooler.”

The core of this 'wise summer living' service is not simply about providing technology - it is an emotional bond. The volunteers did not leave even after completing the repairs. Instead, they sat on the floor with the elders and chatted away.

“This is the first time in my life that someone has come to me and talked to me like this, and fixed something that was broken,” said another resident.

Another also said, “Even though my body is at unease, my heart is warm, so life feels less lonely.”

These words were deeply engraved in the hearts of the volunteers.​

Meanwhile, with love and peace at their foundation, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group carries out global social contribution projects in various fields including the environment, veterans' affairs, disabled sector, public interest and culture, transcending religion, race and national borders.

On September 6th, Joong-il Choi, the leader of the Shincheonji Bartholomew Tribe, gave a lecture at a Shincheonji Bible Conference titled "Testimony on the Fulfilled Reality of Revelation."
“This time, I want to continue learning all the way through Revelation.”

On September 6th 2025, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Yeongdeungpo Church (Bartholomew Tribe), held a large-scale Bible seminar on the theme “Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation,” drawing an attendance of 2000 people, including 50 pastors, signalling a noticeable change in perception within the wider Korean church community. In attendance was Pastor Jin-seok Oh, who had begun studying the teachings on Revelation from Shincheonji six years ago but stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and who shared his reflection above following the lecture.

The seminar, themed “Testimony on the Fulfilled Reality of Revelation,” went beyond a simple lecture. It became a forum for pastors and believers alike to directly engage with Shincheonji’s teaching on the Book of Revelation. Dedicated educational booths were also set up, where attendees asked detailed questions about biblical interpretation, the process of learning Shincheonji’s doctrine, and the meaning of Revelation’s fulfilment.

Delivering the lecture, Tribe Leader Joong-il Choi - who studied Presbyterian theology - emphasised that salvation is not about denominational boundaries but about becoming one in the Word.

“God’s work is not in disputes between doctrines,” he stressed, “but in love, forgiveness, and blessing.”

Pastors in attendance shared candid reflections, with attendee pastor Esther Park (67) admitting: “I now verify Shincheonji’s teaching directly with the Bible. I regret that I only viewed Shincheonji as heretical before. The more I learn, the more I realise the limits of the biblical knowledge I thought I had.”

A representative from Shincheonji Yeongdeungpo Church explained that despite opposition, they remain committed to spreading the Word in line with Jesus’ teaching. Looking ahead, they noted that formal “Bible Exchange MOUs” between Shincheonji and other denominations are expected to expand, potentially reshaping the religious landscape.

This moment marks more than a seminar - it represents an opening for dialogue and a growing recognition among traditional pastors that the interpretation of Revelation presented by Shincheonji is worth examining.

Attendees listen attentively during a sermon gathering titled "Testimony on the Fulfilment of the Book of Revelation" held at Shincheonji's Gangdong Church on the 6th September.

“The message on Revelation was one I'd never heard in any established denomination...Because the teaching is biblical, once you hear it, you can't help but believe.”

On September 6th 2025, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Gangdong Church (part of the John Tribe), held a large-scale Bible seminar on the theme “Testimony on the Fulfilment of Revelation,” drawing an in-person attendance of 1000 people, including 100 pastors, and an additional 2000 attending online. Pastor Kim, who served in the Presbyterian Church for 45 years, expressed his thoughts (quoted above) following the lecture.

Delivering the lecture, the John Tribe Leader Chang-ho Seong focused on unveiling the meaning of the Book of Revelation and its fulfilment. He emphasised that Revelation records God’s purpose and Christ’s promises, which are now being revealed in reality.

“God’s purpose is to dwell with His people,” he explained. “Revelation shows how this purpose will be accomplished and how all creation will be renewed. If we truly hope for heaven, we must know God’s promises and see how they are fulfilled today.”

Citing Revelation 1:3 and 22:18-19, he reminded attendees that blessing belongs to those who keep the words of Revelation, while adding or subtracting from it leads to exclusion from heaven.

“Shincheonji testifies to both the meaning and the reality of Revelation,” he added. “By learning this Word, believers can gain certainty in their faith and confidence in the hope of eternal life.”

The response to the seminar by the attendees was noteworthy. 

One participant described the message as 'eye-opening', saying:- 
“This was the first time in my life hearing such words. It gave me a new way to see Scripture.”

Another attendee who had lived a life of faith for 40 years commented, “The explanation was clear, even for beginners. I am deeply grateful.”

A Shincheonji John Tribe representative concluded:
“Revelation 22 warns that those who add to or take away from this book cannot enter heaven. This seminar was an opportunity to learn Revelation without alteration and to reaffirm faith in God’s promises. We will continue to hold seminars to spread the testimony of Revelation’s fulfilment to many more.”

On the 6th August, staff members took a photo to promote the We Are Red blood donation campaign
“I always wanted to donate blood, but I was afraid because I had never done it before. Through this campaign, I tried for the first time - and now I’ve already donated six times. I’ve come to realise how valuable blood donation is, and I want to continue doing it.”

The youth volunteer group We Are One, affiliated with Shincheonji Church of Jesus, is once again proving the power of collective action. In just 15 days, more than 600 young people in the Seoul–Southern Gyeonggi region, Republic of Korea, rolled up their sleeves to donate blood, helping stabilise the nation’s blood supply during one of the most difficult times of the year. One participant (above), who donated blood for the first time, shared how this campaign changed their perspective.

This campaign was born out of urgency. In response to a consistent domestic blood shortage in the summer months exacerbated by students going on holiday and families travelling, the We Are One Seoul–Southern Gyeonggi Branch launched its annual blood donation on 27th July, 2025. By August 10th, the campaign had already achieved 690 participants and 600 successful donors across its 11 local branches, including Gwacheon, Seongnam, Gangdong, Suwon, Ansan, Pyeongtaek, Icheon, Suji, Wangsimni, Dongtan, and Hanam.

A representative from the Seoul–Southern Gyeonggi branch stated:
“We are deeply grateful to all who joined in sharing life. We will continue to lead in spreading a culture of respect for life together with our communities.”

The blood donation campaign is planned to continue for approximately three months, ending in October, with the goal of attracting 10,000 participants nationwide. 

Meanwhile, since 2022, We Are One has consistently held blood donation drives during periods of shortage, contributing to national blood supply stability. This year’s campaign extends beyond individual participation - it represents a growing youth-led movement for life, care, and community responsibility, and it inspires a long-term culture of giving.

On the 26th July, volunteers from the Shincheonji Andrew Church distributed heat-wave prevention kits and ice water to citizens near the Pyeonghwa Market bus stop in Busan.
“It's wonderful that young people are doing this kind of work, and it feels like new life has been breathed into the market.”

On the 26th July, youth members from the Shincheonji Andrew Church conducted an environmental 'plogging (jogging + litter cleanup)' campaign, which included a distribution of heatwave prevention kits and frozen water, around the Pyeonghwa Market and Jayu Market in Beomil neighbourhood, Busan City, Republic of Korea. Market vendors and residents responded positively to the volunteer effort, and expressed their experiences above.

Roughly 20 members of the Shincheonji Andrew Church who participated in the volunteer activity were divided into teams and took the lead in cleaning up the environment by picking up cigarette butts, plastic, and household waste from various street areas. They then personally distributed "heat prevention kits" containing ice-bottled water and heat-related safety tips to citizens and local shop owners visiting the market amidst the stifling heat, creating a warm bond.

A church representative said, “Heat-related illnesses can be prevented by following three basic rules: shade, water, and rest,” and added, “We hope this campaign builds stronger bonds in our community and helps everyone stay healthy throughout the summer.”

Meanwhile, this water-sharing event, which was designed to foster mutual prosperity with the local community and protect the environment, was conducted until the heatwave warning was lifted and the heat subsided.

Members of the Daejeon branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group visit a farm in the neighbourhood of Nangwol, Dong district, Daejeon City, on the 1st September to provide agricultural assistance.

“I had no idea farming was this difficult. I've been reminded that it's thanks to the farmers' dedication that we can put food on the table. I hope today's volunteer work will be of some help.”

On the 1st September, members of the Daejeon branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group visited a farm in the neighbourhood of Nangwol, Dong district, Daejeon City, Republic of Korea. One volunteer, who toiled and harvested the peppers, said the above.

Amid a labour shortage during the peak harvest season, around 20 volunteers that day rolled up their sleeves and diligently harvested 300 kg of peppers from a roughly 1000 square metre field. In the face of a persistent heatwave in summer 2025 and a general decline in rural volunteer activities, farmers were concerned with crop management. And if the harvest season is missed, peppers can be among the most badly affected crops, with a significant impact on the marketability of the crop.

A farmer who participated in the event said, “I was worried because it's hard to find workers these days, so the volunteers' support was of great help.”

Meanwhile, Shincheonji Volunteer Group serves communities nationwide through various community initiatives including blood drives, disaster response, education programmes, and environmental clean-ups.

The Headquarter baseball team of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony has claimed victory in the Second Division of the 16th National Recreational Baseball Championship, hosted by the Korea Baseball Softball Association.

The week-long tournament, held from 20–28th September in Hoengseong, Gangwon Province, Republic of Korea, saw over 30 teams and 800 amateur players from across South Korea compete in what is the country’s premier recreational baseball event. The Championship was supported by Hoengseong County, the Hoengseong County Sports Council, and jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, and the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee.




Shincheonji’s Headquarter team delivered an impressive run, defeating Seoul Blitz 11–2 in the quarter-final, overcoming Boseong Magic in the semi-final, and taking on Gongju City in a closely contested final. After taking an early 2–0 lead, Headquarter extended their advantage with a three-run home run in the fourth inning, ultimately winning 5–3.

Their performance earned them multiple awards, including Best Pitcher, Most Valuable Player, Best Manager, and the Contribution Award.

The squad, composed of young church members, trains twice a month under structured programmes guided by professional coaching staff. Head Coach Jun-gyeom Ahn said:

"Our victory was made possible by the players’ determination and flawless teamwork. We aim to continue growing stronger and to take part in international tournaments in the future."

The Shincheonji Church Sports Department promotes healthy lifestyles and community engagement through sports, encouraging participation in amateur competitions while fostering fellowship among members.

Meanwhile, Shincheonji’s success highlights the global appeal of baseball and the role of sports in building teamwork, discipline, and community. For UK audiences, it offers a window into South Korea’s vibrant amateur sports culture, the integration of sports within community and spiritual life, and opportunities for international sporting exchange. It also serves as inspiration for young athletes worldwide, demonstrating how local initiatives can have global impact.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus' youth volunteer group, "We Are One," participate in a nationwide blood donation campaign

"No matter how much science advances, blood cannot be artificially created. The only way to save someone's life is through blood donation.”

In just one month, 7500 youth volunteers from Shincheonji Volunteer Group's "We Are One" participated in a nationwide blood donation campaign in South Korea and rolled up their sleeves to give blood and save lives. A total of 8000 people had applied for the '2025 We Are Red Second Half Blood Donation Campaign,' which began on July 27th.

This campaign, which embodies the active participation and sharing spirit of the youth, is generating a heartwarming response, providing a significant boost to healthcare facilities struggling with blood shortages. It is also the 'largest youth blood donation drive in the country.'

Yu-yeong Han, who revealed that she has donated blood 185 times, said, “Donating blood is a precious service that only healthy people can do,” and added, “I felt a great sense of accomplishment when I was able to directly help a friend or family member with their surgery using my blood donation certificate.”

Hyo-seung Nam, who has donated 157 times, said, “I first encountered donating blood during my military service and have continued to do so ever since, believing that even a small act of giving can directly help save someone’s life. I would like to continue donating blood as long as my health allows.”

In particular, the Incheon Gyeyang Church Youth Group shared their warmth by collecting 70 blood donation certificates and donating them to a young man awaiting surgery. The young man, who received the certificate, expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am truly grateful. Thanks to the support of the youth members, I will gain the courage to successfully undergo the surgery.”

An official from the Korean Red Cross Blood Management Headquarters expressed his gratitude, saying, “Shincheonji is the only organisation that has had so many of its members donate blood in such a short period of time.”

A We Are One official said, “Blood donation is an irreplaceable act of sharing life,” and added, “As the campaign continues until October 18th, we hope that more young people will join us and help save the lives of their neighbours.”

With this being Korea’s largest youth blood donation movement, the evidence is clear proof that the younger generation is leading a culture of compassion and life-sharing.

Meanwhile, the We Are One Volunteer Group is comprised of 90,000 young people (70,000 domestically) from the 12 domestic tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and 75 countries, including the US and the UK.

A remarkable moment of unity unfolded as Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Hwagok Church (Bartholomew Tribe) hosted a joint worship service with pastors from 13 MOU partner churches. The event, held on September 8th 2025, was more than a gathering - it was a demonstration of how faith can transcend denominational boundaries through the Word.

The service opened with prayer (Revelation 21:1-4), hymn 248 “The Morning Light Is Breaking,” a welcome address, and congratulatory remarks, followed by a special video, sermon, ministry report, cultural performances, and the Lord's Prayer.

The sermon message highlighted the importance of returning to Scripture as the true foundation of faith. The speaker urged pastors and attendees alike:
“Today, let us set aside tradition and listen humbly to the words of Revelation. In God’s Word, we can all become one.”

Through this, the gathering became an opportunity for pastors and members to reflect on the essence of Christian faith - hearing, understanding, and living by the Bible.

Pastors in attendance shared candid responses that revealed a shift in perception.

One pastor admitted: “Hearing Shincheonji's message directly has changed my perspective. I hope this joint service allows pastors here to be filled with the Word and to share it faithfully with their congregations.”

Another pastor added, “For years, I never considered Shincheonji seriously. But today, I realised the depth and structure of the teaching. This service renewed my determination as a pastor and reminded me of the true purpose of ministry.”

Others noted the sincerity of Shincheonji members and the grace they felt during the worship.

Domestic Mission Department Head, Hak-sil Lee, explained the broader vision:
“It is time to prepare for a greater leap forward with our MOU partner pastors. This joint service showed that we can share faith and unite in one Word.”

The event also featured ministry updates, cultural performances, and video presentations that reminded participants of the historic and spiritual significance of the moment.

This gathering marked an important milestone: Shincheonji's Hwagok Church and 13 partner churches affirming unity through the Word of Revelation. Attendees recommitted themselves to returning to the essence of faith and looked forward to ongoing cooperation and exchange.

As one pastor concluded:
“Shincheonji's worship was filled with grace. Experiencing it firsthand showed me the seriousness with which members lived by the Word. Going forward, I hope for even deeper and more systematic cooperation.”

A panoramic view of the Masan Church of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Busan James Tribe
On July 23rd, 2025, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Masan Church (part of the Seoul James Tribe) held its long-awaited dedication service for a brand new temple - a stunning five-storey sanctuary built on decades of prayer, perseverance, and explosive spiritual growth.

What began in 1993 with just 31 believers has now grown into a thriving congregation of 3384 members, marking more than a 100-fold increase. The spark? The church’s participation in the 1994 Revelation seminar, which opened a door to deeper understanding and inspired continued evangelism and Bible education.

Through challenges like COVID-19, delayed site approvals, and restrictions on signage, the Masan congregation never gave up. Their dream? To build “a place that God is pleased with”-and now, that dream has come true.

The newly dedicated temple covers over 14,000m² (150,000 sq ft), with two underground floors and five above-ground storeys. It was designed as more than a place of worship - it is now a spiritual base for teaching, service, and community care in Masan and beyond.

Members who helped construct the church from the ground up describe it as, “A temple filled with the tears of prayer and hope for the gospel.”

Another said: “I still remember carrying soil with a shovel during construction. Now, this space stands as a testimony of God walking with us.”

The response from the local community has been extraordinary. With increased curiosity and visitors from traditional churches, even some pastors who once discouraged others from attending are now witnessing the very people they warned begin to flock towards this new house of worship.

“One side tries to stop people, but the other side keeps coming. What’s happening?” a local commented.

This wave of attention reflects what many call a spiritual shift - a hunger for the Word being fulfilled, and a sign that something unique is happening through Shincheonji’s mission.

Beyond Sunday worship, Masan Church is committed to community care. The congregation continues to serve through blood donation drives, environmental cleanups, and supporting vulnerable neighbours.

As one church representative shared:
“This new temple is evidence of a journey built on the truth of God’s Word. And we will continue to serve as the salt and light in this region.”

On the 26th July, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Seoul-Southern Gyeonggi Branch held a Gratitude event for approximately 100 Korean War veterans.
“As time passes, we have become veterans, but the Korean War is a living history that must never be forgotten. I sincerely thank the Shincheonji Volunteer Group for providing this meaningful opportunity to reflect on the value of peace.”

On the 26th July, and in commemoration of the 72nd anniversary of the Korean War Armistice Agreement, the Seoul-Southern Gyeonggi branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group held a commemorative event to express gratitude and respect for the sacrifices and dedication of Korean War veterans. Eun-seok Choi, head of the Songpa Branch of the Korean War Veterans' Association, stated the above.

On that day, nearly 100 Korean War veterans and their bereaved family members were in attendance. The event included a children's choir performance, a screening of a video commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group's "Love Your Country, Share Peace" nationwide campaign, commemorative speeches, award presentations (distributed to the heads of four branches of the Korean War Veterans' Association as an expression of appreciation for veterans), special performances, and a luncheon.

In South Korea, where one can live with relative freedom, peace and prosperity, one must not forget the sacrifices of these veterans of war whose contributions (and treatment of) are often overlooked. As such, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group is working hard to widely publicise and record their noble deeds through memorial ceremonies, campaigns, and events.

Indeed, since 2015, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group nationwide has held the 'Love Your Country, Share Peace' campaign in June (Patriot & Veterans Month), in order to raise civic awareness of the noble sacrifice of war veterans who died for the peace of Korea and to promote a world of peace without conflict.

On the 11th July, at the "Sharing Rice of Love" event held at the Veterans Hall in Yongsan District, Seoul, Young-sik Choi (left), president of the Yongsan Branch of the Korean War Veterans' Association, poses for a commemorative photo after presenting a plaque of appreciation to Hyeon-ji Lim, head of the Namsan branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group
In present-day South Korea, where the contribution of Korean War veterans who dedicated their lives for the peace of the country is often overlooked, one organisation is working hard to widely publicise and record their noble deeds through memorial ceremonies, campaigns, and events - the Shincheonji Volunteer Group.

As an expression of gratitude to veterans of the Korean War and to reflect on the value of peace, the Namsan branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group held a "Sharing Rice of Love" event at the Veterans Hall in Yongsan District, Seoul on the 11th July.

On that day, the Namsan branch delivered 40 4kg bags of rice, totalling 160kg, to the Yongsan branch of the Korean War Veterans' Association. The donation was made in the hope that it would provide practical assistance to veterans experiencing difficulty due to the hot summer weather and persistent inflation.

The event concluded with a photo shoot for veterans that was held on site and warm applause.

May the sacrifices of the generation that experienced war never be forgotten and the value of peace be passed on to the next generation.

Meanwhile, since 2015, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group has held the 'Love Your Country, Share Peace' campaign nationwide in the month of June (Patriot & Veterans Month) in order to raise civic awareness of the noble sacrifice of war veterans who died for the peace of Korea and to promote a world of peace without conflict.
