[Cheonji Ilbo Gangwon = Reporter Hyun-bok Lee] The members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman Man-hee Lee, hereinafter Shincheonji Church of Jesus) participated in their 'Live ON' blood donation campaign to help alleviate the blood supply crisis in Korea caused by the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic. Within just 7 days, another miracle of securing blood from more than 15 donors was accomplished.
Shincheonji Church of Jesus announced on the 25th April that from the 18th to the 24th, all blood had been obtained from the 12 tribes across the country in just one week.
With the same heart as all the 12 tribes across the country, members of Philip tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus gave blood at blood donation centers and 8 bloodmobiles in every region, and by noon of the 25th, 1,285 donors had participated, of whom 886 were complete blood donations.
Locations of the blood donation campaign: ▲Wonju Church: Wonju Public Health Center, Sangji University, Wonju Taejang Sports Complex Baseball Park, and Shincheonji Church of Jesus' Taejang Church ▲ Chungju Church: Chungbuk Blood Donation Center, Chungbuk Sports Center ▲ Chuncheon Church: Gangwon Blood Donation Center ▲ Gangneung Church: Gangneung Blood Center, Gangneung Sports Complex ▲ Jecheon Church: church parking lot ▲ Cheongpyeong Church: in front of Pyeongnae Station, Cheongpyeong-myeon Office Parking Lot, Dasan Blood Donation Center ▲ Donghae Church: Donghae Well-being Sports Town Stadium▲ Sokcho Church in the temporary parking lot of the Expo.
Shincheonji Church of Jesus not only donated blood, but members of Shincheonji Volunteer Group also provided help where needed, including with parking, at reception and ushering for logistics.
On the 19th, Director Won-il Moon of Gangwon Blood Donation Center expressed his gratitude and said, “This is a most difficult time, but Shincheonji members have participated in giving blood in a timely manner. I think we will be able to overcome this crisis to a significant extent. Thank you.”
Director Chun-woo Shin of Philip tribe, who participated in this blood donation, said, “As a believer in God, I am grateful I could participate in this valuable work of saving life in these difficult times.”
An official from Philip tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, “Giving one’s blood is an act of respect for the dignity of life and a practice of love. Following this blood donation, all blood donor rights will be waived and donated to save the lives of children suffering from cancer or long-term illness.”
He also said, “We plan to proceed with this blood donation until the 30th in consultation with the blood management headquarters of the Korean Red Cross.”
Meanwhile, in 2020, the blood plasma donated by about 4,000 Shincheonji members was used for the development of coronavirus treatments and for viral research, and is currently being used for the development and distribution of national standard materials for clinical trials of domestically developed vaccines for COVID-19.
