Love for creation from the world's fastest-growing church, Shincheonji Church
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.
