Amid blood supply emergency, Shincheonji Church steps up to donate


Dozens of New York based memberd of New Heaven New Earth, Shincheonji Church of Jesus (SCJ), participated in a group blood donation expected to run May 6th through May 13th. Donations were made through the New York Blood Center (NYBC), one of the world's largest independent blood centers. 

The church members' donations come amid a blood supply emergency announced by the NYBC. As of May 9th, the organization reported that inventory is low across all blood types. Ideally, the center would have a 5-7 day blood supply. Currently, however, blood types O and B have fallen to a 1-2-day level. 

"This time of the year always tends to be difficult for the blood supply, with school spring breaks and increased travel making blood donations less of a priority," said Andrea Cefarelli, senior executive director at NYBC. "These factors are now coinciding with increasing COVID cases and a potential fifth wave of the pandemic." 

The latest news comes during a national blood supply shortage that has made headlines since early 2022. Pix 11 reported that the NYBC previously collected 50 pints of blood on a typical day. By January 2022, it was only collecting seven or eight pints per day. 

Inspired to save lives and raise awareness, member of SCJ in New York leaped at the chance to donate blood. The church hopes that others will be encouraged to do the same. 

Donations made in New York follow the group blood donation of more than 18,478 members of SCJ in South Korea. All certificated and tickets collected within the two-week donation period will be given to the Korean Red Cross. So far, donation tickets worth nearly $100,000 have been gathered. 

SCJ members have stepped up to donate blood since 2020. Following a request made by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, members donated plasma a time when Covid-19 treatments were not yet available.

    It was only a few months ago that 18,628 blood donors from Shincheonji Church of Jesus restored the blood supply crisis in South Korea with the largest blood donation in history made by any single organisation within just two weeks. All SCJ donors waived their donor rights, equivalent to 110 million Korean won (£70,000), and gifted them to the Red Cross to help those most in need of a blood transfusion. It is no exaggeration to say that countless lives have been saved in Korea. Moreover, the Korean Red Cross likened their contribution to ‘’rain during a season of drought” and the Korea Record Institute officially certified this unprecedented donation as a record. And now, an estimated 100,000 people from the same group will yet again donate their blood in light of another surge of COVID-19 cases in Korea. Why is mainstream media not reporting this? Thank you for your love for humanity, 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...

 The Shicheonji Church of Jesus recently held a Bible exchange program, which was attended by 80 religious leaders. We live in a world with a diverse array of religions.   The word "religion" means "re-connect," as it allows humans to connect with God.  But why do people believe in religion? What is religion, and which scriptures hold the most truth?  Unfortunately, religion can also lead to conflicts and even wars in our global society. In light of this, one pastor is calling for unity among religions.  The Shincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony recently held a bible interchanging program, called the "1st Revelation Special Lecture," from February 20th to 23rd in Seoul and Gyeonjji, Korea. This program brought together 80 religious leaders from 10 different religions and 27 countries, including Korea.  A Hindu religious leader stated, "Let's gather with open hearts and break down barriers to become one...
