In a continued effort to address chronic blood shortages in the Republic of Korea (South Korea), 100 members from Shincheonji Volunteer Group’s (SVG) Suwon branch donated blood at an event held on 3rd September 2019. This follows on from SVG's donation of 300 donor cards to the Korea Childhood Leukemia Foundation at a Children’s Cancer Ward on May 5th in Gwangju. At the start of the year, SVG signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with the Korean Red Cross and Daegu-Gyeongbuk Blood Center to donate blood twice a year minimum.

On 3rd September, the head of SVG Suwon, Mr. Jeong-Jae Park, received a certificate of appreciation on behalf of all volunteers from the mayor of Suwon.

SVG belongs to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of The Testimony and has over 200,000 volunteers in 72 branches worldwide serving communities through a range of projects, campaigns and initiatives focused on environmental conservation, blood donation, provision of medical aid, war veterans' support, elderly care and public service. In the first half of 2019, 60,000 volunteers catered to the needs of 80,000 people worldwide.

The secular press in the Republic of Korea continued to publicise Shincheonji church's anticipated 'graduation of light' at the end of this year which is expected to have a graduation of 100,000 people of all ages and backgrounds. Cheonji Ilbo has published an article entitled 'Shincheonji’s greatest growth to date: expect 100,000 graduates this year'.

Interest in Shincheonji church’s anticipated 'graduation of light' at the end of this year has been growing within the secular press in Korea. Shincheonji church (full name ‘Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony’) was founded in March 1984 with a handful of believers. Within the last five years, 20,000-30,000 people per year have completed Shincheonji church's intensive six-month Zion Mission Center Bible study programme; the church's Bible-teaching institute located in over 300 branches worldwide. This year's growth of 100,000 is unprecedented by any church or religious institution's standards.

The secret to the rapid growth of Shincheonji church is its 'pure Bible-centred' teaching. The church is also working actively for peace, both towards the reunification of the Korean peninsula and on a global scale. The chairman of Shincheonji church, who is Jesus’ promised messenger who witnessed all the prophecies in Revelation (Rv 22:8, 16), is also the chairman of HWPL - a global peace NGO which is working for world peace and holds a world peace summit yearly that draws in thousands of global religious, political and academic leaders for this pursuit of peace. (The 2019 HWPL World Peace Summit was held just four days ago at Suwon World Cup Stadium).

In spite of continual opposition and slander by the established church in Korea and allied Christian press, the secular press in Korea continues to promote the growth of Shincheonji church. The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) - which was founded on the murderous, unbiblical teachings of John Calvin who slaughtered men, women and children who opposed his doctrine on predestination -uses the Christian media (notably Christian Broadcasting System (CBS) as its mouthpiece to slander Shincheonji church. The CCK has established and implemented a heinous 'coercive conversion' programme that led to the deaths of two believers in 2008 and 2018 and subsequently received widespread criticism from the United Nations in New York last year. Moreover, following CBS’ broadcast of their slanderous documentary 'People who fell into Shincheonji' in 2017, the Supreme Court ruled in Shincheonji church’s favour. Readers may be shocked to learn that, from 2008-2018, pastors affiliated to the CCK have received 12,000 sentences for crimes including drink-driving, burglary, sexual assault and murder. This is the corrupt reality of mainstream Christianity in Korea today.

Regardless of such opposition, Shincheonji church continues to shine the light by teaching the true word of the Bible and putting their Biblical beliefs into practice and is growing accordingly. The world will see a great graduation of light in the upcoming months.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of The Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereafter 'Shincheonji church') is the promised church recorded in the New Testament of the Bible.

Throughout the 6000 years of Biblical history, God has always said what He will do in advance of doing them (Amos 3:7), so that people would believe when what He has promised appears in reality. This is why Jesus spoke these words to his disciples at the first coming:-

“I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe” (Jn 14:29)

After Adam sinned (Gn 3:22) and God put an end to his generation through a flood, God chose Noah. Noah's second son, Ham, also sinned (Gn 9:25) and God cursed Ham’s descendants (Canaan was his son). To fulfil this promise, God came to Abram (the ninth generation of Noah’s first son, Seth), called him out of Ur (modern-day Iraq) at the age of 75, promised him that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and that they would be enslaved in a foreign land, but after 400 years would come out with great possessions (Gn 12, 15). To fulfil these promises, God then moved Jacob (Abraham’s grandson) and his 70 family members to Egypt through many trials and tribulations. 400 years after God's promise to Abraham, to the very day, God brought the Israelites out of Egypt under Moses. God then fulfilled His promise to Noah by leading the Israelites into the ‘promised’ land of Canaan through Joshua. God will move an entire nation to fulfil His promise.

God allways works through this process of ‘prophecy (promise) and fulfilment’ so that one will believe when the reality of what God promises appears. Through the Old Testament prophets (Isaiah-Malachi), God made hundreds of promises about a saviour who would come. The reality of this promise was Jesus Christ (Jn 5:39). Jesus himself also promised about future events, which are recorded in the four Gospels and book of Revelation. These prophecies have aleady been fulfilled in the Republic of Korea and are being freely made known to people throughout the world.

The place where the New Testament promise is being made known is Shincheonji church. It is God and Jesus' promised church recorded in the book of Revelation. Through Jesus’ promised messenger, who has seen and heard all the promised events in Revelation, this is being made known to people throughout the world (Rv 22:8, 16). Shincheonji church is also called 'The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony' (Rv 15:5) because Revelation began to be fulfilled at the Tabernacle Temple in Korea where testimony of what took place is being explained. It is also called ‘Mount Zion’ (Rv 14) because it is God’s mountain (church), and is called ‘Shincheonji Church of Jesus' because Jesus - not man - is the head of the church. According to Jesus’ promise, what it teaches are the things of heaven and not the things of the earth.

Jesus was the promised pastor of the Old Testament promise. However, Jesus promised to send someone in his name at the time of Revelation’s fulfilment (Jn 14-16). According to this promise, there is a promised pastor today who sent the letters in Rv2-3, went up to heaven in Rv 4-5, received and ate the opened scroll in Rv 10 and overcame the enemy in Rv 12, receiving all the promised 12 blessings recorded in Rv2-3. He is Jesus’ messenger who has been at the location of the events in Revelation and is testifying to everything he has seen and heard. Shouldn't one find this person in order to receive his testimony?

God will fulfil everything through Shincheonji church and the promised pastor. The number of congregation members currently exceed 200,000 and this figure is expected to reach 300,000 by the end of 2019 through a unified graduation ceremony of 100,000 people who will have completed Shincheonji church’s intensive six-month Bible study programme at one of their 300 'Zion Mission Centers' worldwide. Shincheonji church is expanding its channels of communication far and wide to allow as many people as possible to learn the truth of God’s promise recorded in the New Testament; specifically, the book of Revelation.

Shincheonji, translated as ‘New Heaven New Earth', is God’s promised dwelling (Rv 21) where God, who left after Adam's sin, will return to dwell with His creation in a world without death, mourning, crying or pain (Rv 21:3-4). What could be more hopeful than this?

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of The Testimony (hereafter 'Shincheonji church'), began with a handful of believers in March 1984. Today, its congregation members exceed well over 200,000. This figure is expected to exceed 300,000 by the end of 2019 as some 100,000 people have, or are in the process of, completing an intensive six-month Bible study programme to become registered into the church. The reason why it is growing so rapidly is because it is the church promised by God and Jesus in the four Gospels and the book of Revelation which has appeared in today's generation. The name 'Shincheonji' is a shortened version of 'Shin-cheon-shin-ji', which translates into 'New Heaven New Earth'. This is a place God promises to live in with His people, where there is no more death, mourning, crying and pain (see Revelation 21). It is God and humanity's greatest hope that will be fulfilled since time immemorial.

While Shincheonji church teaches the purest word of the Bible, it also puts God and Jesus’ command to love one’s neighbour into practice. Since its establishment in 2006, Shincheonji Volunteer Group (SVG) has grown to having 200,000 volunteers in 72 branches worldwide, serving communities through a range of projects, campaigns and initiatives focused on environmental conservation, blood donation, medical aid, war veterans' support, elderly care and public service. Within the Republic of Korea, its key projects include:-

▶️'Health Doctor': free medical examinations to maintain citizens' health; particularly the vulnerable

▶️'Protect the green nature’: an environmental preservation campaign

▶️'Beautiful senior, Bravo life!’: cultural programme for senior citizens

▶️'Love for all nations and Sharing of peace’: for reunification of the Korean peninsula

▶️'Wall-Painting Stories with Hope’: converting thousands of kilometres of dilapidated murals

▶️'Driving while drowsy Prevention': helping underline the dangers of driving under fatigue

▶️'Pink Cloth Delivering Warmth': home-delivery of healthy lunches to the marginalised

▶️‘Shincheonji Multicultural Center’: spreading of traditional Korean culture to foreign residents

In the first half of 2019, 60,000 volunteers catered to the needs of 80,000 people. With an expected intake of nearly 100,000 congregation members by the end of 2019, the number of Shincheonji church members and volunteers will exceed 300,000, and is expected to grow to 500,000 by the end of 2020. A movement of half a million people for a force of good.

Shincheonji Volunteer Group (SVG) continues to make national headlines for their outreach efforts throughout the Republic of Korea. SVG belongs to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of The Testimony (hereafter 'Shincheonji church') and has 200,000 volunteers in 72 branches worldwide serving communities through a range of projects, campaigns and initiatives focused on environmental conservation, blood donation, provision of medical aid, war veterans' support, elderly care and public service. In the first half of 2019, 60,000 volunteers catered to the needs of 80,000 people.

The most recent publication of SVG's volunteer efforts has appeared in the news agency Cheonji Ilbo, which reported on 10th September that SVG's Gwangju branch had conducted their 'Chuseok rehabilitation initative' on the 8th September in Ochi 1 and 2 neighbourhoods, Gwangju city, Jeonnam province, in the lead-up to Chuseok. (Literally meaning "Autumn eve", Chuseok is a major harvest festival and a three-day Korean Thanksgiving Day celebrated annually in both North and South Korea.)

More than 50 SVG Gwangju members gathered their heart to collect discarded rubbish from alleys, roads, highways and parks in the aftermath of 'Typhoon Lingling', which has left thirteen people injured and three dead in South Korea. In Gwangju, trees had collapsed and facilities were damaged in the wake of this typhoon.

One resident and participant of SVG's environmental maintenance efforts, Mrs. Kim Jin-suk, said, “I was worried how we'd get rid of the branches and garbage left by the typhoon. I thank you for your support and help." Mr. Ji-seop Ji, head of SVG Gwangju, said, “We hope that this environmental clean-up will help provide a pleasant and clean area for families long after Chuseok.”

SVG is involved in a number of campaigns which promote the recyling and discharging of household waste and they encourage voluntary participation from local residents. Since its establishment in 2006, SVG has initiated a number of initiatives, campaigns and projects nationwide and in some other countries, including:-

▶️'Health Doctor': free medical examinations to maintain the health of citizens; particularly the vulnerable
▶️'Protect the green nature’: an environmental preservation campaign
▶️'Beautiful senior, Bravo life!’: cultural programme for senior citizens
▶️'Love for all nations and Sharing of peace’: for reunification of the Korean peninsula
▶️'Wall-Painting Stories with Hope’: converting thousands of kilometres of dilapidated murals
▶️'Driving while drowsy Prevention': helping underline the dangers of driving under fatigue

In a recent article published by Cheonji Ilbo on 5th September, it was reported that SVG's Seodaemun branch had provided services to its elderly neighbours through one of its initiatives in Bukahyeon neighbourhood, Seodaemun district, Seoul. 17 SVG members provided twenty senior citizens with services including basic health checkups, beauty treatment, nail art and massage therapy. SVG's efforts have become a monthly custom in Sodaemun district and come in the lead-up to the Chuseok holidays. (Chuseok, literally "Autumn eve", is a major harvest festival and a three-day Korean Thanksgiving Day celebrated in both North and South Korea).

Mrs. Dae-hee Kim of SVG said, "The reason we are doing this is to put God and Jesus' command to love into practice. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to serve here every month."
