Donating blood donation certificates at the Daegu branch of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Thaddaeus Tribe blood donation campaign

The Shincheonji Daegu Church of the Thaddaeus Tribe carried out a three-day blood donation campaign on October 10th, 13th, and 14th, with a total of 167 members participating.

Chuseok, known as Korea's harvest festival and a time of family gratitude, is also a season that reminds many of the value of sharing. Shincheonji Daegu Church sought to carry that spirit beyond the holiday itself - extending warmth to neighbours through the gift of life.

One participant, Chang-jun Kim (33, Daegu), shared:
“I've been donating blood since I was a student. I wanted to join this campaign to help others, and it was meaningful to see all our members unite as one for this purpose.”

A representative from the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Blood Centre expressed appreciation:
“We are grateful to Shincheonji Daegu Church for consistently holding blood donation drives during shortages. Their ongoing participation inspires courage and motivation among citizens.”

Church representatives also thanked the volunteers who made time to participate even right after the holidays, adding:
“We plan to continue expanding our blood donation initiatives and put our love for neighbours into practical action.”

Earlier this year, 888 members of Shincheonji Daegu Church successfully completed blood donations, and the church has announced plans for another full-member campaign in January.

Through these efforts, Shincheonji Daegu Church continues to demonstrate the power of unity, faith, and compassion - one drop at a time.

At the 31st National Defense and Security Action Rally, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Chungju branch provides lunch to approximately 1000 veterans
In present-day South Korea, where the contribution of Korean War veterans who dedicated their lives for the peace of the country is often overlooked, one organisation is working hard to widely publicise and record their noble deeds through memorial ceremonies, campaigns, and events - the Shincheonji Volunteer Group.

In particular, the Chungju Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group ("Chungju branch") has proven its community trust by receiving a series of plaques of appreciation for spreading the "value of consistency" among war veterans.

In response to a request made by the Chungju Branch of the Korea Vietnam Veterans' Association, the Chungju branch provided meal support and on-site assistance for the operation of the "31st National Defense and Security Action Rally" held at Tangeum Park in Chungju on 20th October, providing food and beverages to approximately 1000 veterans.

This large-scale veterans' event, hosted by the Chungju Branch of the Korea Vietnam Veterans' Association, was attended by Vietnam War veterans, their families, and related organisations from 11 cities and counties in the province.

On that day, the Chungju branch received a plaque of appreciation in recognition of its consistent service to veterans' welfare.

One volunteer from the Chungju branch said, “The veterans have taught us respect and gratitude.”

A Chungju branch official stated, “Today's peace is possible thanks to the sacrifices of veterans.”

The freedom and peace that South Korea enjoys today was gained through the sacrifices of their forefathers.

Meanwhile, since 2014, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group has held the 'Love Your Country, Share Peace' campaign in June (Patriot and Veterans Month), in order to raise civic awareness of the noble sacrifice of war veterans who died for the peace of Korea and to promote a world of peace without conflict.

On 17th October, Shincheonji Church of Jesus' Masan Church head lecturer, Sung-bok Cho, explained the meaning of the "Tree of Life" from Genesis to Revelation during the "Ask Anything" seminar
Shincheonji Church of Jesus imparts clear and deep biblical teachings, which have contributed to its rapid growth as evidenced by the four consecutive 100,000 graduation ceremonies since 2019.

In Masan, South Korea, Shincheonji Church of Jesus is leading the way with special Bible study programmes to help believers understand God’s Word more and live according to it.

In particular, on 17th October, a seminar titled "Ask Anything" was held at the Shincheonji Masan Church (Peter Tribe), South Korea.

On that day, the head lecturer of the Masan Church, Sung-bok Cho, delivered the keynote lecture, where he explored the fundamentals of life through the Bible and addressed misunderstandings about Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Participants ranged in age from youth to middle-aged, reflecting on the relationship between faith and life.

Lecturer Cho stated: “If a person's heart is broken, they must go to the One who created them. The Bible is a book written to reveal the origins of humanity and the purpose of their existence.” He emphasised that the Bible offers a way to discover the meaning of life.

He then explained the "Tree of Life" that appears in the Book of Revelation, saying, “All humans are born on the path to death, but the Bible says there is also a path to life without death.”

On 16th October, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Namdong Branch installed a plaque in Manbu Village, inviting people to join the Wall Story movement

On 16th October, the Namdong Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group unveiled its second mural project in Manbu Village, Namdong District, Incheon - transforming a once colourless wall into a lively field of spring flowers.

The 'Wall Story' project, soon to approach its 12th year, is a movement spearheaded by the Shincheonji Volunteer Group which serves to restores dilapidated murals through drawings and paintings depicting stories specific to local regions. Requests are typically received from local residents or councils.

In this most recent case, the request for the mural painting was made by a resident living opposite the group’s first mural, a seascape completed in June. At that time, this resident requested that their own wall also “bloom with flowers.”

In response, the volunteers selected “Open Dandelion Hill” as the new theme, symbolising hope, vitality, and renewal. Beginning on 22nd September, members prepared and painted the wall over a 20-day period, completing every step - from surface treatment and sketching to detailed colouring - in close collaboration with residents.

As the final brushstrokes dried, one resident smiled and shared:
“The wall used to feel lifeless and dull, but now it feels alive. The mural brings joy every time I see it.”

An official from the Namdong branch said, “We first communicated with the beneficiaries to see if they had any paintings they wanted, and then we inspected the proposed mural site and held a meeting to decide on a design that would fit the surrounding environment before proceeding with the work.” 

Meanwhile, Manbu Village is a charming neighbourhood filled with small, cosy, old-fashioned houses that boasts a high proportion of senior residents.

With every brushstroke, the volunteers are not just painting walls - they are bringing colour, warmth, and a sense of community to a place many call home.

Pastor Yaqub Paul pledged to learn the revealed word of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and participate as a graduate
“Now I finally understand the true meaning of the Book of Revelation. I will dedicate the rest of my life to spreading this Word.”

These were the words of Rev. Yaqub Paul, a senior pastor and denominational leader from Pakistan, after attending the recent Shincheonji Bible Seminar on Revelation hosted by Shincheonji Church of Jesus in Cheongju, South Korea.

For more than 40 years, Rev. Paul has served as a pastor, denominational chair, and national leader in Pakistan. He currently ministers to over 300 members in his local church and oversees monthly gatherings of pastors across the country.

His influence is far-reaching. He established a seminary in Pakistan that has already produced more than 7000 graduates, many of whom have gone on to become pastors and missionaries both at home and abroad.

Yet despite his long years of service, he admitted he still struggled to fully grasp the depth of biblical prophecy - especially the mysteries of the Book of Revelation.

That spiritual thirst was finally quenched on September 27th 2025, when he attended the large-scale Bible seminar in Cheongju. Listening to Chairman ManHee Lee’s sermon on the fulfilment of Revelation, Rev. Paul said he was moved to tears.

“To know that the prophecies of Revelation have been fulfilled, and to finally understand their true meaning - I could not hold back my tears,” he recalled.

Far from feeling offended by the strong admonitions directed towards pastors, he said he felt deep conviction and humility, acknowledging his own shortcomings and the need for change.

Rev. Paul also expressed a firm resolve to put what he learned into practice.

“First, I will fully learn the Revelation Word myself. Then, I will teach it to pastors across Pakistan. Through them, the message of Revelation will spread to churches and congregations nationwide.”

He emphasized that this was no longer just a personal awakening but a mission to bring transformation to the entire Christian community in Pakistan.

This represents a new chapter for Pakistan's churches. Rev. Paul’s testimony is especially significant given the challenges faced by Christians in Pakistan, where ministry work is often met with obstacles. His determination to share Shincheonji’s Revelation teaching marks not just an individual turning point, but what many see as a potential catalyst for broader change within the region’s Christian landscape.

Rev. Yaqub Paul’s journey from Pakistan to Korea shows the far-reaching influence of the Shincheonji Bible Seminar on Revelation. It also reflects a growing movement of pastors worldwide who are finding answers to long-standing questions in Scripture through Shincheonji’s testimony.

During the drug eradication campaign held on the 17th October, citizens received promotional materials for the campaign, reviewed the content, and talked with a volunteer

The Shincheonji Volunteer Group is working proactively on an international scale towards achieving a drug-free society, by empowering young people with knowledge and warning them about the dangers of drug and substance abuse.

On 17th October, the Eastern Busan Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group conducted a drug eradication campaign in front of Pas Gucci in Beomil neighbourhood, Busan, South Korea.

The team engaged citizens by a makeshift stall and at bus stops with a variety of promotional tools, including brochures, mini-promotional materials, and promotional panels to raise awareness and educate them about the dangers of drugs.

Citizens responded positively to the mini-promotional materials and the campaign content. One resident offered encouragement, saying, “I've seen people around me whose lives have been ruined by drugs. I appreciate your preventative efforts.”

Meanwhile, the Eastern Busan Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group plans to continue the campaign strongly in 2026.

Shincheonji Volunteer Group volunteers picking up litter around Jinju

Numerous branches of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group across South Korea continue to carry out environmental campaigns.

On 18th October, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Jinju Branch conducted an environmental clean-up activity to pick up litter abandoned along the Nam River and on the pavement and walkways during the 'Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival' in Jinju City, Republic of Korea. As the festival attracts numerous visitors and displays colourful lanterns, the importance of environmental clean-up activities was emphasised even more.

About 20 volunteers participated in the event, collecting litter around the festival site for approximately 4-5 hours. Volunteers collected approximately 200 litres of waste from the Namgang River and Jinjuseong Fortress areas, and by creating clean streets, they created a pleasant environment for citizens and tourists visiting the festival.

Through consistent volunteerism and education, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group in Jinju is showing that real change starts with small actions. For such areas, environmental cleanup is more than beautification - it helps prevent slips, falls, and other accidents.

Meanwhile, this activity was carried out as part of the 'Green Nature' environmental campaign that is purposed to leave a pristine natural environment as a legacy for posterity.

On 24th July, members of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Jinju Branch gathered together to collect waste in the Myeongseok-myeon area of Jinju

South Korea endured historic rains in the summer of 2025, with flooding and landslides that displaced over 10,000 people and caused widespread infrastructure damage. As soon as the skies cleared, temperatures soared into the mid‑30s °C, making both cleanup and recovery especially difficult.

Amid that challenging period, Shincheonji Volunteer Group stepped forward in affected regions like Jinju, Cheonan, Asan, and Seosan, bringing hope and practical help to those struggling to rebuild. This article looks on the volunteer effort in Jinju City.

Following torrential rains of over 120mm per hour that poured down across Jinju City, there was widespread damage such as river overflow, road damage, and submergence of farmland. As a result, a total of 427 residents from 19 townships and districts in Jinju were evacuated.

On the morning of the 19th July, 50 members of the Jinju branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group showed up with shovels, brooms, and mops, carrying out restoration work in the the river around the flooded vinyl greenhouses. Floating waste mixed with crops, causing serious damage.

The following day (20th), after the heavy rain subsided, despite a heat wave warning in effect since the morning, some 50 volunteers worked tirelessly in the sweltering heat to collect debris from the flooded farmland, one by one.

A villager who witnessed the scene expressed his gratitude, saying, “I was heartbroken looking at the devastated farmland, but I'm so touched that you're here to help. Thanks to you, it's so much cleaner.”

Meanwhile, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group’s work in Jinju is a reminder of the vital role that grassroots volunteer groups can play in rebuilding local infrastructure, protecting lives, and providing emotional support during emergencies.

Shincheonji Volunteer Group Asan Branch volunteers are repairing flood damage in Sucheol-ri, Baebang-eup on the 17th July

South Korea endured historic rains in the summer of 2025, with flooding and landslides that displaced over 10,000 people and caused widespread infrastructure damage. As soon as the skies cleared, temperatures soared into the mid‑30s °C, making both cleanup and recovery especially difficult.

Amid that challenging period, Shincheonji Volunteer Group stepped forward in affected regions like Cheonan, Asan, and Seosan, bringing hope and practical help to those struggling to rebuild. This article looks on the volunteer effort in Asan.

Following torrential rains of nearly 60mm per hour that poured down across Asan City, flooding homes, businesses, and roads, 20 members of the Asan branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group showed up with shovels, brooms, and mops on the morning of the 17th July, working silently and consistently to help clean and restore damaged homes in vulnerable areas.

Asan recorded a cumulative rainfall of 360.6mm that day, prompting the evacuation of residents in some areas in preparation for a potential disaster. The Shincheonji Volunteer Group began its volunteer work by touring Sucheol-ri from the morning, removing accumulated soil and debris from flooded homes and roads.

A volunteer who was present at the scene said, “It was a daunting situation, but we were able to quickly resolve it by helping each other.”

These acts show faith in action, bringing a universal message of love to every season.

Volunteers sweating bullets in flood recovery efforts

South Korea experienced one of the most severe monsoon seasons in 2025, with sudden downpours leading to widespread flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage across the country. Among the hardest-hit areas was Seosan, South Chungcheong Province, where rainfall reached nearly 100mm per hour. As roads became impassable and local residents struggled with the aftermath, volunteers from Shincheonji Church of Jesus stepped in with quiet determination to help their neighbours.

On the 17th July, about 30 members of the Seosan branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group gathered with shovels and makeshift equipment in hand. They cleared away fallen rocks and piles of dirt to secure a safe passageway, and after about three hours of work, roads that were previously damaged due to mudslides and rockfall were restored to a level where vehicles could pass without difficulty.

One volunteer noted, “Regardless of how people may view us because of our faith, we believe that helping neighbours in need is a shared responsibility. We’ll keep doing what we can—quietly and sincerely.”

This isn’t the first time the Shincheonji Volunteer Group has provided emergency support during natural disasters in Korea. From flood relief to typhoon recovery, their local teams have consistently worked behind the scenes to support community recovery.

The Shincheonji Volunteer Group’s work in Seosan is a reminder of the vital role that grassroots volunteer groups can play in rebuilding local infrastructure, protecting lives, and providing emotional support during emergencies. They also demonstrate that true faith is demonstrated not just in words, but in selfless acts of care.

Volunteers from the Eastern Busan Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group are cleaning a rainwater drain during an environmental clean-up activity held on the 16th July

On 16th July, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Eastern Busan branch ("Eastern Busan Branch") conducted a rainwater gutters cleanup for the prevention of urban flooding in Beomil neighbourhood (Busan City, South Korea) which is prone to flooding due to the low-lying area and frequent clogging of the rainwater drain.

On that day, 47 members of the Eastern Busan Branch prevented sewer clogs by removing litter, including a high number of cigarette butts, and fallen leaves caught in the rainwater drains near the Kookmin Bank building. Volunteers amassed waste that filled three 50-litre waste refuse sacks (equivalent to approximately 60kg).

This activity was further enhanced by a campaign to reduce microplastics, with volunteers distributing promotional materials on how to reduce microplastics in daily life.  One citizen said, “I was shocked to hear that cigarette butts end up in the ocean and become microplastics,” adding, “I'll tell everyone around me.”

Meanwhile, this campaign is part of the Eastern Busan Branch's regular environmental cleanup volunteer programme, which has been conducted once or twice a month since 2024 during the hottest months of the year (May to August).

Hikers participate in a forest fire prevention campaign held by the Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Dongjak Branch in front of Exit 1 of Gwanaksan Station in Seoul on the morning of the 14th November

Numerous branches of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group across South Korea continue to actively work to raise awareness of the dangers of forest fires and to educate on prevention measures by holding forest fire campaigns in areas prone to wildfires.

On the morning of 14th November, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group's Dongjak Branch held a "Forest Fire Prevention Campaign" for citizens near Gwanaksan Station in Seoul. This was the second such campaign, following the previous one held on the 27th of October.

According to the National Fire Agency, in 2024, over three-quarters of the number of forest fires that occurred (782 cases) were caused by negligence (608 cases, 78%). Among these, 254 cases (42%) were cigarette butts, 119 cases (20%) were litter incineration, and 106 cases (17%) were fire embers.

On that day, the Dongjak Branch focused on raising citizens’ awareness of forest fire prevention through forest fire common knowledge quiz, guidance on the ecosystem recovery period in forest fire-stricken areas, promotion of forest fire prevention rules, and activities to prohibit possession of flammable materials. 

The campaign made known that forest fires are accelerating global warming, causing severe damage to plants and animals due to destruction of the ecosystem, and that the majority of forest fires are caused by human negligence.

Hyeon-rye Kim (62, female, Sillim neighbourhood), who participated in the campaign, said, “I came to see the autumn leaves and go hiking, and I was happy that the young people welcomed me so brightly,” and added, “I learned for the first time that although a forest fire spreads quickly, it takes years to recover.”

Looking ahead to 2026, a Dongjak Branch official said that the group will take steps to further ensure hikers' safety, such as using designated trails and prohibiting illegal harvesting of wild vegetables.

Meanwhile, the forest fire prevention campaign is carried out as part of Shincheonji Volunteer Group's nationwide 'Green Nature' campaign, which aims to preserve a beautiful and clean natural environment for posterity.

On 16th November 2025, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Bartholomew Tribe Gimpo Church continued to raise environmental awareness through a 'plogging' activity.

Since July 2024, Shincheonji Gimpo Church has been carrying out ‘plogging’ activities every week  to remove cigarette butts and discarded plastic waste, which were causing a particular nuisance to local residents.

On 16th November, students from the Shincheonji Gimpo Church conducted an environmental clean-up activity along the intersection
On 16th November, students from Shincheonji's Gimpo Church collected cigarette butts on the street
On 16th November, students from Shincheonji's Gimpo Church sorted out seven 20-litre waste refuse bags
On that day, the plogging activity was carried out within a one-kilometre radius of the church by three teams that amassed a total of seven 20-litre waste refuse sacks filled with cigarette butts, plastic cups, water bottles, plastic bags, and snack wrappers.

Participant Min-soo Lee (18, male, Gimpo City) said, “The small act of picking up litter actually helps create the inner values ​​necessary for growing as a person of faith.”

Student department head Tae-hee Lee (33, male, Gimpo City) said, “I realised with the students that the environment around the church can be kept clean with just a little bit of attention.”

Meanwhile, Shincheonji Gimpo Church's plogging service, which is an environmental activity that combines picking up litter while jogging, has gone beyond simple environmental clean-up activities and has become a 'life service' in which church members have a sense of responsibility and contribute to the local community in their daily lives.

Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gwangmyeong Branch

The Shincheonji Volunteer Group in Gwangmyeong, South Korea, has been leading the way in environmental protection. On 16th November, the group held a carbon-neutral and recycling campaign at the exit of Cheolsan Station, raising citizen awareness on the importance of reducing single-use plastics, usage of eco-friendly shopping bags and developing proper recycling habits.

On that day, the volunteers shared practical ways to practise carbon neutrality in daily life. They explained that the best and fastest way to protect the environment is to reduce the use of disposable items such as plastic bags.

Moreover, a recycling sorting game was held, featuring six types of miniature litter cans - cans, glass, plastic, paper, general waste, and food waste - and 300 object recognition cards. Citizens randomly selected a card and placed the corresponding item in the correct bin, naturally learning recycling techniques.

Volunteers and citizens who participated in the campaign responded positively to the impact of the initiative. Citizen Hee-seon Kim (32, female) said, “I thought I knew how to separate waste well because I’ve been living alone for a long while, but I was wrong,” and added, “Through the game, I learned that transparent cups are recyclable and opaque or coloured cups are plastic, so I will practise properly in the future.”

A Gwangmyeong branch official emphasised the importance of the campaign, saying that as South Korea registers about 420 plastic bags per person per annum - which directly increases carbon emissions - if just 10% of the population reduces usage, it could cut 60,000 tons of CO₂, which is equivalent to planting over 6.7 million trees!.

Meanwhile, in line with South Korea’s goal of achieving carbon zero by 2050, this marks the fifth consecutive year of the Gwangmyeong branch’s carbon-neutral efforts since 2020.

Through consistent volunteerism and education, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group in Gwangmyeong is showing that real change starts with small actions. By reducing plastic waste and promoting eco-friendly living, they’re helping build a future where both people and the planet can thrive.

On September 21st 2025, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Peter Tribe Gwangju Church hosted the “Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation Bible Seminar” in Gwangju, South Korea
On September 21st, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Peter Tribe Gwangju Church (hereafter referred to as Shincheonji Gwangju Church) hosted the "Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation Bible Seminar" in Gwangju, South Korea. What unfolded was more than just a seminar - it was an encounter that left thousands of pastors, believers, journalists and local missionaries in charge of overseas missions reflecting deeply on the essence of faith.

The programme opened with a youth praise team performance, followed by segments featuring the testimony of the 100,000 Graduation Ceremony, MOU agreements for Bible exchange, accounts of church signboard changes in Korea and abroad, and testimonies from pastors in a specially prepared video.

Delivering the keynote lecture on the theme, "The Completion of the 6000-Year History of God: The Book of Revelation," Tribe Leader Jae-wook Yoo clearly explained the purpose of God's work and how the prophecies and promises recorded in the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, were fulfilled through actual realities.

Tribe Leader Yoo explained, “The core of the Bible is God's promise and its fulfilment, and the true meaning can be known when the promise is fulfilled and the reality is revealed.”

He emphasised, “Revelation is the final promise of the Bible given directly by Jesus, who shed blood and died for our sins.”

He also said, “When the promise of Revelation is fulfilled, Jesus chose one person who saw and heard the fulfilment firsthand as a witness to inform the whole world about the 'reality of the fulfilment of Revelation.' The Bible tells us that the 12 tribes of God's new kingdom will be recreated through those who understand this word. Shincheonji Church of Jesus is making this known.”

Local missionaries from countries as far afield as Ethiopia and Tanzania attended. With online participation via YouTube, the conference attracted a total of nearly 30,000 attendees.

A pastor from the United Reformed Church said, “I was able to hear the words of fulfilment of Revelation directly and confirm the will of God being realised. I want to share what I learned and confirmed with the congregation.”

Caleb Jedu, a local missionary in Ethiopia, said, “Ethiopian pastors and religious leaders also recognise the revealed word of Shincheonji Church of Jesus as the true word that cannot be heard anywhere else. It has enabled local believers to build their faith based on the Bible, and the congregation is also experiencing changes in their lives.”

For decades, only a few pastors dared to attend Shincheonji’s open Bible seminars due to stigma. Now, thousands are coming, not just out of curiosity but to verify and judge according to Scripture. The September 21st event marked a turning point: pastors left not only with answers but also with renewed questions about their own ministries.

About Me
Our world is being devastated by injustice, hunger, poverty, child slavery, persecution, genocide and war. Although we do our best to help alleviate one another’s suffering through individuals acts of volunteerism or monetary contributions, is this actually creating lasting change that can help humanity? Did you know that religious misunderstanding is the cause of 80% of wars? What if there is a plan to restore this world? Will you listen to it? Peace no longer needs to remain a dream. Let’s re-create this world together as a lasting legacy for our children and future generations
