In celebration of 'Patriots and Veterans Month', the Cheonan branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group made and delivered homemade bread to the Korean War Veterans' Association (Cheonan branch) as an expression of gratitude for the noble sacrifices of veterans who gave their lives for the peace of Korea.

On 20th June, about 30 volunteers, under the guidance of a baking expert, participated with great care in the preparation process, from preparing the dough and fillings to packaging the bread.

Si-yeon Kim, a college student who participated in making homemade bread, said, “When I saw the process of making a single loaf of bread, I saw dozens of hands working together and thought about the passion and sacrifice of many people who protected the country until today’s Republic of Korea came into being.”

Min-ho Noh, head of the Cheonan branch of Shincheonji Volunteer Group, said, “We will always remember those who contributed to making Korea what it is today.”

These are the words of Jong-bong Kim, a Korean War veteran and president of the Pyeongtaek branch of the Korean War Veterans' Association, who gave a lecture at an invitational event held at Shincheonji Pyeongtaek Church, Gyeonggi Province, on the 20th June.

The event was held as part of the ‘Love Your Country, Share Peace’ campaign of Shincheonji Volunteer Group in celebration of Patriots and Veterans Month.

On that day, about 100 people, including volunteers from the Pyeongtaek branch and veterans, attended.

President Kim, who was 19 when he joined the special forces in the Korean War, gave a vivid testimony saying, “I still can’t forget the moment when my comrade, who had been begging me to save him, came back dead...It is the tragic fate of a nation in which the blood of many nations was shed. This should never happen again.”

A Pyeongtaek branch official said, “I hope we never forget the sacrifice of these people as we think about how precious the peace and freedom we enjoy in this era are.”

Meanwhile, the 'Love Your Country, Share Peace' campaign has been held nationwide yearly by Shincheonji Volunteer Group since 2015 to commemorate the souls of war veterans who died for the sake of peace of Korea and to promote a world of peace without conflict.

These are words expressed by Seung-ju Lee, the Simon tribe leader of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, who opened the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar by Continent: Europe' conference held on 15th June. The conference attracted over 7000 participants, including 1000 pastors.

He explained that the Book of Revelation is a prophecy, and since the meaning of a prophecy cannot be known until it is fulfilled and the reality appears, no one has been able to understand its meaning for over 2000 years since it was written. He also said that just as the writer of a book can provide accurate information about the book without misunderstanding, the Book of Revelation can also be known accurately when the writer of the book informs us.

The tribe leader said, “If you look at Revelation 22:8 and Revelation 22:16, there is a shepherd (pastor) who receives revelation directly from Jesus, and this shepherd is promised to see and hear the reality at the scene of the event when the Book of Revelation is fulfilled and to go to the churches and testify.” “Chairman Lee is the shepherd who has seen, heard, and testifies when Jesus fulfils the Book of Revelation (prophecy),” he said. He emphasised, “Because Chairman Lee saw and heard the fulfilled realities firsthand, the words he speaks as a witness have power and life.”

Chairman Lee said, “In the Book of Revelation, it is recorded that there is a betrayer who betrays faith, a destroyer who causes that betrayal and brings the betrayer to an end, and then the appearance of a saviour.” He added, “When that reality appears, those who see it, hear it, and go and preach it are blessed.”

Chairman Lee urged pastors, who believe in the same God and the same Bible, not to fight but to resolve misunderstandings through dialogue. Chairman Lee repeatedly emphasised the Bible's message that one should not add to or subtract from the Book of Revelation. Chairman Lee also stressed the importance of the times and urged pastors to understand Revelation and the Bible in order to teach it to their congregation members, saying, “When the prophecy wasn't fulfilled, there was nothing to offer, but now that it has been fulfilled and there is a reality, we can clearly explain the reality according to scripture. I hope you understand the Word and teach it well to your congregation members.”

European pastors were moved and applauded the sight of Chairman Lee clearly conveying the prophecies of Revelation and their fulfilment in a confident manner, despite being 94 years of age.

He continued, “If you want to restore faith in this era, recreate the heart, revive the church, and unite the European continent with God's Word, then please learn the Book of Revelation and become pastors who can testify the Book of Revelation.”

The tribe leader concluded, “Chairman Lee is always praying and hoping that the pastors will learn the words of Revelation well, testify to the church members, and become people acknowledged by God.” He added, “Let’s testify this Word together.”

Meanwhile, according to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, as of June 5th this year, MOUs have been signed with a total of 12,538 churches in 83 countries. Additionally, 1341 churches in 41 countries have joined Shincheonji Church of Jesus and changed their signage. As of the end of May, more than 10,300 pastors worldwide, including a number of leaders of the Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist faiths, are taking the Bible course on Revelation taught at the Zion Christian Mission Centre of Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

On 18th June, the members of Shincheonji Volunteer Group organised a meaningful event to raise awareness about the importance of memorial facilities in Incheon.

These are words expressed by Pastor Deli Delphine Matondo of the Full Gospel Church, who participated in the recent 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar by Continent: Europe' conference, organised by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which attracted over 7000 participants, including 1000 pastors.

In a situation where churches across Europe are being replaced by bars, clubs and restaurants due to the decline of Christianity and secularisation trends, this conference was a beacon of hope held in the pursuit of spiritual rejuvenation. The interest in the Shincheonji Bible Seminar, which began in Asia earlier this year, among European pastors, has been high.

Then, ManHee Lee, Chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, delivered the main lecture, speaking in depth and with conviction for roughly 90 minutes about the prophecies and fulfilled realities of the events recorded in the Book of Revelation that he has witnessed firsthand.

A pastor from Poland in attendance said, “It brought tears to my eyes to see pastors from Europe and believers becoming one,” and asked, “I want to spread this word to more people. Please tell me how I can spread it.”

“Many pastors expressed keen interest in deepening their understanding of Revelation through our educational programmes, and we are committed to supporting this through our Zion Christian Mission Centres across Europe,” said a representative of Shincheonji.

In addition, this representative said, “Pastors from all over the world have requested additional Bible lectures, saying they want to learn more about the Book of Revelation, so we are planning and preparing a Bible Seminar to invite pastors from all over the world to South Korea at the end of this year.” He added, “Through this, we will become one with God in the Word.”

Meanwhile, according to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, as of June 5th this year, MOUs have been signed with a total of 12,538 churches in 83 countries. Additionally, 1341 churches in 41 countries have joined Shincheonji Church of Jesus and changed their signage. Finally, as of the end of May, more than 10,300 pastors worldwide, including a number of leaders of the Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist faiths, are taking the Bible course on Revelation taught at the Zion Christian Mission Centre of Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

These are the words of a pastor who attended the 'Testimony of the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation' lecture held by Chairman ManHee Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus at the Shincheonji Peace Training Institute in Cheongpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea, on the 8th June. 

In response to a surge of requests by domestic pastors following the Shincheonji Bible Seminar held in 2023, Shincheonji Church of Jesus held lectures in the cities of Busan and Ulsan to an audience of 3000 people, including hundreds of pastors. The lectures were broadcast live simultaneously in nine languages, including English and Chinese.

Today, at the Shincheonji Peace Training Institute, Chairman Lee testified the revealed word and theology to an audience of 450 attendees. 250 pastors were in attendance listening intently, with some busily taking notes.

After meeting Jesus from the moment he came to faith and testifying in detail about the prophecies and fulfilled realities of the events recorded in the Book of Revelation that he witnessed firsthand, Chairman Lee said, “The Book of Revelation has been fulfilled, and I am testifying to the reality of its fulfilment as I saw it,” and “If you add to or subtract from the Book of Revelation, you cannot go to heaven. It says that you cannot enter heaven and will be cursed, so you must not add to or subtract from it.”

He continued, “You must know that the statement that salvation lies in the 12 tribes of Shincheonji is not the words of man, but is recorded in the Bible.”

Chairman Lee urged pastors to engage in dialogue and said, “We are believers written of in the Bible, so we must believe according to the Bible.”

He said, “It is the same Bible and the same God.” He also emphasised that becoming one in the Word will bring glory to God and Jesus.

Mr. A, who has lived a life of faith for 40 years as a church elder, said, “This is the first time I've heard such a sermon in 40 years of religious practice, so I plan to go and speak to many pastors around me about the fulfilment of the prophecies recorded in the Book of Revelation and personally learn about them in depth.”

Mr. B, a pastor from the Presbyterian Church, said, “As a pastor for 40 years, I have held positions at the General Assembly and run a church, but I admit that I did not teach and neglected the Book of Revelation.” He added, “I feel that today's era is the era of Revelation.”

He added, “I think the number of pastors joining Shincheonji will increase significantly in the future.”
