Shincheonji Volunteer Group: 'Driving while drowsy Prevention' campaign

In continuation of Shincheonji church's voluntary works which have gained notable public recognition since 2011, members of the Gwangju branch of Shincheonji church stationed themselves outside Gwangju Songjeong station from 15th-31st November 2018 to put their campaign 'Driving while drowsy Prevention' into practice. The campaign was organised by Peter tribe - one of the promised twelve tribes of Shincheonji church (see Rv 7).

With the highest number of traffic accidents often occurring in October, the 'Driving while drowsy Prevention' campaign was targeted specifically for taxi drivers to help underline the dangers of driving while fatigued. Shincheonji church members distributed fruit, snacks and coffee to help curb fatigue that so often occurs after a heavy meal or a long-distance drive.

However, this campaign was also intended to promote the correct understanding of Shincheonji church in light of the many false allegations made against it by the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) and its affiliate Christian Broadcasting System (CBS), which were recently ruled as false by The Supreme Court following the documentary "People who fell into Shincheonji". Shincheonji church members distributed articles about Shincheonji church, as well as videos and leaflets comparing the vast difference of the Biblical doctrines taught by the church and by CCK. This came in response to the 200 false claims made by the CCK about the teaching of Shincheonji.

Shincheonji Gwangju church is now gearing up for its next April 2019 public campaign to aid the transport system, entitled 'Lining up to get on the bus'.😊

Shincheonji Volunteer Group (SVG) is the largest non-governmental national organisation operating in the Republic of Korea with over 100,000 volunteers serving in disaster relief, blood donation, Korean War veteran support (6million), and regional development and public service campaigns. Its volunteers spread the love of God through continual care for the isolated and vulnerable. It operates in 67 of the 84 cities in South Korea and has received national recognition through 70+ awards given by governmental, civic and private organisations in Korea.
