In India, which is home to diverse cultures, religions and languages, pastors of the Christian faith are changing their denomination's affiliation and church signage by the dozen.
Since the Shincheonji Online Bible Seminar was held, centred on an explanation of the unresolved prophecy of the Book of Revelation, and its fulfilment plainly testified, a new wave of evangelism has been formed in India. As a result, pastors in India are not only signing an MOU with Shincheonji Church, but also replacing their church signboards to 'Shincheonji Church of Jesus'.
In India alone, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has currently signed 3302 memorandums of understanding (MOUs) on the exchange of the Gospel with churches. Moreover, 292 churches have changed their signs to Shincheonji Church of Jesus.
An Indian pastor who changed the name of their church to Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, “Before hearing the word, I thought it was important to grow the size of the church and become a pastor who was respected by the congregation and fellow pastors, and my sermons were also centred on my own thoughts.” He continued, “However, after realising that the word is God, I began to strive to preach according to the Bible and to change according to the word.”
He then told the pastors, “I have heard many doctrines and sermons from famous pastors, but none of them gave me a clear answer. However, now I have found the clear truth.”
Another Indian pastor who signed an MOU said, “As I understand the revealed word and teach it to my congregation, they are also very happy to understand the Bible.”
Meanwhile, the movement to not only sign an MOU for Gospel exchange, but also change the name of one's church to Shincheonji Church of Jesus began last year when a representative of a branch of a certain denomination in Madagascar made this request to Shincheonji Church of Jesus.
A Shincheonji Church official said, “We will continue to actively interact with pastors of established churches and move forward on the path of mutual prosperity.”
