Shincheonji Church Andrew Tribe Spreads Warmth Among Students and Local Community Members in Lead Up to CSAT

One day every November, an entire nation pauses - with businesses closing and flights grounded - to accommodate the rigorous demands of an eight-hour marathon of back-to-back exams known as the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), a nationwide standardised test for university admission, career paths, and life prospects. That nation is South Korea.
On the 11th November, to support students and local community members in the lead-up to the impending CSAT season, the Shincheonji Andrew Church delivered approximately 130 sets of homemade cookies and Pepero sticks, made by the student department, to businesses, residents, and bus drivers near the Andrew Tribe Training Centre.
A store owner said, “The cookies felt even more sincere because they were made by the students themselves,” and added, “Thanks to the kindness of my neighbours, my day started off on a good note.”
One of the participating volunteers said, “It may seem like a small thing, but consistent sharing builds trust.”
A representative from the Andrew Church added, “Sharing doesn't have to be grand or flashy. A sincere greeting can be the beginning of a transformative relationship.”
More than physical nourishment, this effort delivered warmth, dignity, and hope.
