Shincheonji Church of Jesus' "We Are One" Achieves 7500 Blood Donors in One Month

Shincheonji Church of Jesus' youth volunteer group, "We Are One," participate in a nationwide blood donation campaign

"No matter how much science advances, blood cannot be artificially created. The only way to save someone's life is through blood donation.”

In just one month, 7500 youth volunteers from Shincheonji Volunteer Group's "We Are One" participated in a nationwide blood donation campaign in South Korea and rolled up their sleeves to give blood and save lives. A total of 8000 people had applied for the '2025 We Are Red Second Half Blood Donation Campaign,' which began on July 27th.

This campaign, which embodies the active participation and sharing spirit of the youth, is generating a heartwarming response, providing a significant boost to healthcare facilities struggling with blood shortages. It is also the 'largest youth blood donation drive in the country.'

Yu-yeong Han, who revealed that she has donated blood 185 times, said, “Donating blood is a precious service that only healthy people can do,” and added, “I felt a great sense of accomplishment when I was able to directly help a friend or family member with their surgery using my blood donation certificate.”

Hyo-seung Nam, who has donated 157 times, said, “I first encountered donating blood during my military service and have continued to do so ever since, believing that even a small act of giving can directly help save someone’s life. I would like to continue donating blood as long as my health allows.”

In particular, the Incheon Gyeyang Church Youth Group shared their warmth by collecting 70 blood donation certificates and donating them to a young man awaiting surgery. The young man, who received the certificate, expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am truly grateful. Thanks to the support of the youth members, I will gain the courage to successfully undergo the surgery.”

An official from the Korean Red Cross Blood Management Headquarters expressed his gratitude, saying, “Shincheonji is the only organisation that has had so many of its members donate blood in such a short period of time.”

A We Are One official said, “Blood donation is an irreplaceable act of sharing life,” and added, “As the campaign continues until October 18th, we hope that more young people will join us and help save the lives of their neighbours.”

With this being Korea’s largest youth blood donation movement, the evidence is clear proof that the younger generation is leading a culture of compassion and life-sharing.

Meanwhile, the We Are One Volunteer Group is comprised of 90,000 young people (70,000 domestically) from the 12 domestic tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and 75 countries, including the US and the UK.
