18,478 Shincheonji Church Members donated blood to solve the blood shortage across South Korea

18,478 Shincheonji Church Members donated blood to solve the blood shortage across South Korea 



The amount was 3 times more than the average daily use of blood in all medical institutions in Korea. This blood donation helped solve the national problem of blood supply and demand to the shortage that continued since the beginning of this year due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection(COVID-19).

Can't get a blood transfusion with a blood donation card, Blood donation reduces due to a decline in the population 

"We are very short of blood donation due to COVID-19. Donating blood can save precious lives. Please make a reservation in advance and visit a nearby blood donation house or a blood donation cafe."

On 26th November 2021, above was the text message from the Ministry of Health and Welfare that was sent across the country to all mobile phones. In addition, text messages are continuously sent to those who participated in blood donation previously, in the form of "Emergency blood donation request - Absolute lack of blood."

When a blood shortage emergency occurs, patients even in critical conditions can't receive a blood transfusion. Under these circumstances, even if you have 100 blood donation cards, you will not receive a blood transfusion. Donated blood is used for acute leukemia, lymph and nonacute leukemia, various cancers, liver disease, and surgical surgery. 

According to the Blood Management of the Korean Red Cross, the lack of blood donation in Korea is becoming chronic due to the prolonged COVID-19 incident. Recovered patients can donate blood only after 4 weeks of self-quarantine. However, this has changed to 10 days of self-quarantine recently, which increased the number of blood donors, but unfortunately unable to resolve the blood shortage completely. Although the number of patients who need a blood transfusion has increased due to a lack of blood supply, the blood donation rate has been steadily decreasing from 5.7% to 5.0% over the past 5 years since 2017. 

Since December 2021 when Omicron began, about 17 million confirmed cases occurred over five months. It had accelerated the lack of blood donation due to concerns over the spread of infection along with quarantine. Moreover, due to the high demand of blood supply, people in their 50s increased while young adults in their 20s who mainly donate blood decreased from 12.4 million in 2015 to 11.8 million in 2019.

    18,628 blood donors from Shincheonji Church of Jesus have effectively restored the emergency blood supply crisis in South Korea with the largest blood donation by any single organisation within just two weeks. The Korean Red Cross has likened SCJ’s voluntary contribution to ‘’rain during a season of drought”. Moreover, all SCJ donors waived their donor rights, equivalent to 110 million Korean won (£70,000), and gifted them to the Red Cross. Why is mainstream media not reporting this? Kudos to Shincheonji.

Christianity is Changing: Insights from the Shincheonji Bible Seminar

 Christianity is Changing: Insights from the Shincheonji Bible Seminar      On October 5, the "Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation" seminar held by Shincheonji Church of Jesus in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, marked a significant turning point in the relationship between traditional Christian leaders and the church. Attracting over 400 pastors and seminary students, the event showcased an intriguing phenomenon: many who had previously opposed Shincheonji were now eager to hear Chairman Lee Man-hee's teachings firsthand.  Chairman Lee’s address emphasized the "truth" found within Shincheonji’s doctrine, challenging the misconceptions often associated with the church. His passionate call for attendees to critically examine their beliefs and the teachings of Shincheonji resonated deeply. Many pastors, who once viewed the church as a cult, found themselves reflecting on their own practices and acknowledging the gaps in their understanding of biblical teachings...
