On the 8th August, a samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) sharing event for seniors is underway at the Hangang-ro 3-ga Senior Centre in Yongsan District, Seoul.

On the 8th August, a day before the end of the summer, the Hangang-ro 3-ga Senior Centre in Yongsan District, Seoul was filled with cheerful laughter and warm hospitality. More than 10 members of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Namsan Branch personally prepared and served 50 seniors samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup).

Volunteers meticulously prepared individual chicken pieces for those with limited hand function, as well as providing soybean paste, salt, and bone bowls. The volunteers stayed with the seniors until they finished their meal, sharing their stories and bonding with them. The elderly asked them to "please continue to visit us."

On the 26th July, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Uijeongbu Branch distributed ice water and fans at the entrance to Uijeongbu Jeil Market.

To mitigate heat-related illnesses amid the stifling summer heat in Korea, the Uijeongbu branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group conducted various activities for citizens and farmers.

On the 26th July, with temperatures exceeding 38 degrees Celsius, volunteers prepared ice water, fans, and ice packs, which they distributed to approximately 420 people, including senior citizens living alone, market vendors, and other citizens. 

At Jeil Market, a heat wave prevention campaign was also carried out, with ice water and fans distributed to street vendors.

Volunteers also visited homes of seniors living alone, organising old wires, replacing lightbulbs, and refinishing bathroom and sink tiles to improve their living environments.

On May 31st 2025, a vibrant wave of youth energy filled Yeouido Park in Seoul as over 1000 volunteers and runners from the youth running crew ‘We Are Run’ participated in the “2025 Earth Run: The Peace Road” marathon event. This marks the third consecutive year the crew has taken part as official volunteers, exemplifying their continued commitment to social impact through movement.

The youth volunteers played vital roles in event logistics: offering guidance, supporting operations, assisting with sponsorships, maintaining cleanliness, and warmly interacting with attendees. Meanwhile, young runners participated in the race itself, physically embodying the message of peace and contributing to a growing culture of giving.

Their orderliness, cheerful presence, and collaborative spirit won praise from both participants and organisers alike, significantly boosting the overall success and satisfaction of the event.

‘Earth Run,’ now in its third year, has become one of Korea’s leading charity-based marathon events, with registration filling up in record time. We Are Run’s reliable volunteer force has been instrumental in reinforcing public trust in the event’s brand and mission.

Centred on the keywords “running” and “peace,” We Are Run continues to lead diverse social contribution efforts. They are not just a running crew - they’re a youth movement committed to spreading positive influence, cultivating a culture of health, and encouraging charitable giving.

We Are Run’s director, Hyun-seung Lee, shared: “The positive influence of youth goes far beyond simple volunteering - it’s a force for real societal change. We’ll continue to spread positive messages and engage in meaningful community service through our healthy, united efforts.”

Voices from the event reflected the impact of their presence: “The warm energy from these young people lifted the entire atmosphere,” said one participant, while another added, “Thanks to the volunteers’ kind assistance, I’ll definitely come again next year.”

Through active youth-led involvement in events like Earth Run, We Are Run is helping foster a more connected, hopeful society. Their journey is only just beginning - and it’s gaining momentum with every step.

Head lecturer delivers a lecture from the Book of Revelation at a gathering held at the Guri Church of Shincheonji Church of Jesus

In order to address misunderstandings and prejudices about Shincheonji Church of Jesus and to establish deeper connections with communities throughout South Korea, Shincheonji Church of Jesus regularly opens its doors to the public with Bible-based lectures and exhibitions centred on the Book of Revelation.

Accordingly, on the 13th August, the Shincheonji Guri Church held a lecture on the theme of “The Fulfilment of the Book of Revelation and the Promised Pastor.”

To an audience of nearly 700 people, including pastors, local religious (and lay) residents, and church members, the head lecturer of the Shincheonji Guri Church Chang-hoon Kang delivered the lecture.

Lecturer Kang began the lecture by emphasising the importance of the Book of Revelation and said:-

“Jesus said 'it is finished', because every prophecy from the Old Testament was fulfilled. In the same way, there are prophecies from the New Testament that must be fulfilled at the time of the Second Coming, and among the New Testament, the Book of Revelation is the core text.”

Lecturer Kang went on to state that Shincheonji Church of Jesus has been created as a result of the fulfilment of the promise recorded in the Book of Revelation. Citing Acts 5, and in the context of the rapid growth of 100,000 graduates in recent years, he said, “The reason Shincheonji Church of Jesus is growing like this is because God is with it.”

Finally, he emphasised the importance of Revelation 22:18-19 and said, “It is written that if you add to or subtract from the Book of Revelation, you will not be able to enter the kingdom of heaven,” and, “If you do not want to add to or subtract from the Book of Revelation, you must learn the Book of Revelation,” and briefly introduced the Zion Christian Mission Centre, an educational institution within the church.

Meanwhile, Shincheonji Church of Jesus continues to hold lectures nationwide to correctly inform the public on the fulfilment of the Book of Revelation.
