Shincheonji Volunteer Group serves 1000 visitors to Daejeon National Cemetery, Korea

On 6th June 2019, Shincheonji Volunteer Group (SVG) served 1000 visitors to Daejeon National Cemetery providing refreshments in 30°C temperatures. Daejeon National Cemetery is South Korea's second national cemetery (after Seoul National Cemetery) reserved for Korean veterans, which include those who died in the Korean Indepedence Movement, Korean War and Vietnam War.

This is the seventh consecutive year that SVG has served in this way and one of dozens of initiatives that SVG has been carrying out. It is the largest NGO operating in the Republic of Korea with 200,000 volunteers serving in disaster relief, blood donation, Korean War veteran support, and regional development and public service campaigns in the majority of cities in South Korea. SVG has received near to 100 awards by governmental, civic and private organisations in Korea and continues to devote its efforts to the betterment of others.

There are numerous charitable organisations or movements of people around the world who work selflessly, but what drives volunteers of SVG is hope. The love that its volunteers show is not only based on an innate desire to want to help others, but on a certain hope of a future without mourning, death, crying or pain, as promised in the Bible (Rv 21:4). Because of this hope, we serve with 'sincere' love💛
