80,000 people receive direct support from 60,000 members of Shincheonji church

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereon 'Shincheonji church') has been showing rapid growth this year as 100,000 students are expected to graduate from the church’s six-month intensive Zion Mission Center Bible study programme and become members of the church. This will bring the estimated total number to 300,000.

Alongside this explosive growth that will surely signal a wind of change within the Christian and religious world, Shincheonji church has been tirelessly serving local communities throughout the Republic of Korea and abroad. From January-May 2019, 60,000 members of Shincheonji church participated in a huge range of voluntary activities including conservation of the environment, medical aid and support for war veterans. 3000 Shincheonji church members have regularly given blood to address the national blood shortages. Immediate aid was provided at the time of the breakout of the forest fire that ravaged much of mountainous, forested north-eastern province of Gangwon, which is under the care of Philip tribe - one of Shincheonji church's 12 tribes.

Volunteer efforts have extended overseas as church members provided medical aid to 500 orphaned and blind children and residents in isolated towns and villages in Vietnam. The number of beneficiaries both domestically and overseas reached 80,000 this year, includes 10,000 elderly senior citizens, 5000 foreign workers and families and 4000 people with disabilities. Shincheonji church continues to expand its services to people overseas.
