Shincheonji Church Begins Blood Donation in South Korea

 Shincheonji Church Begins Blood Donation in South Korea 

South-Korea-headquartered church Shincheonji Church of Jesus has launched a life sharing blood donation campaign called "Life ON" in cooperation with the Blood Management sector of the Korean Red Cross. 

A national blood supply crisis due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has plagued South Korea for several months. Officials called the lack of donor blood a "drought" known to easily impact the lives of those who need transfusions and supplementary blood while fighting and recovering from COVID-19 infections. 

Over 2,100 volunteers from Shincheonji Church of Jesus blood in the Life ON campaign from April 18th for 3 days to overcome the blood supply shortage, and the church does not plan to stop there. Shincheonji is planning for 6,000 volunteers from all tribes and 74 churches locations to donated blood from April 18th to the 30th. 

This is not the first time Shincheonji Church has donated large amounts of blood in response to the pandemic. In 2020, over 4,000 Shincheonji Church members volunteered to donate blood for use in hospitals with critical patients, and also for vaccine research. Much of the Shincheonji-donated blood was used in development of COVID-19 vaccines and home testing kits. 

Officials of the Korean Red Cross are grateful to Shincheonji for their support which allows patients in critical condition to receive life-saving treatment. One official stated, "After the members participated in group plasma donation to develop a treatment for COVID-19 in 2020, we have recently decided to promote a nationwide blood donation campaign in a situation where we are experiencing a national level of blood supply crisis due to the recent spread of the Omicron variant. "Woo Kwang-ho, the director of the Incheon blood center where Shincheonji's Matthew tribe held a drive, stated: "The participation of the Shincheonji volunteers in blood donation in this difficult time due to the Omicron variant will be of great help in stabilizing the blood supply."

The leader of Thaddaeus Tribe, Shin Gyu-soo explained the objective of this activity: "We started the first round of life-sharing blood donation campaign 'Life ON' with the desire to help even a little in a national crisis. As we learned the life-giving service spirit from Heaven, we became volunteers for the kingdom of heaven to practice this 'life-sharing' service that illuminates all parts of this dark world and conveys warmth." 

With the help of Shincheonji's volunteers, the domestic blood reserve expects to jump from less than three and a half days to over five days, allowing for much more security in fulfilling the current 5,400 patient-per-day blood demand in Korea. 

Shincheonji USA, which is also known as New Heaven and New Earth Church, is a branch of Shincheonji Church of Jesus Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. Ever since the fall of man, God has been working to establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Shincheonji is organized into 12 tribes and its governing structure mirrors the hierarchical structure of God's throne in RV 4. The kingdom and people of Shincheonji together comprise the culmination of God's efforts recorded throughout biblical history God's eternal kingdom (Dn 2:44) and the kingdom for which we have all been praying when reciting the Lord's Prayer (Mt 6:10, Rv 21:1-3)

Shincheonji is asking us, "What era is it now?" and "Who am I according to the Bible?"

Shincheonji is asking us, "What era is it now?" and "Who am I according to the Bible?"   Shincheonji Church of Jesus is hosting a Bible seminar with a focus on the "fulfilled realities of the entire book of Revelation. " The seminar commenced in Seoul on October 7th and will continue to other cities in South Korea until October 21st. Chairman Lee Man-hee of Shincheonji Church is testifying to all the realities within the book of Revelation. During the seminar, many pastors and members of the media attended, and Chairman Lee Man-hee posed the questions, "What era is it now?" and "Who am I according to the Bible?" When I heard these questions, my curiosity was piqued, and I wondered, "What's the significance of these questions?" I've learned that those who believe in Jesus are eagerly awaiting His second coming, and Jesus has promised us that He will return to us soon.  However, no one has been able to tell us when and w

The Word Chosen by 100,000 People: Why Are Believers Flocking to Shincheonji Church of Jesus?

The Shincheonji Church of Jesus, having successfully completed two 100,000-member graduation ceremonies, held its third.  Notably, this ceremony has garnered attention due to the graduation of a significant number of pastors. One might wonder why so many people have chosen the teachings of Shincheonji. It's intriguing, especially considering Shincheonji has faced considerable opposition from established church denominations. The fact that so many believers flock to hear its teachings is certainly surprising.

 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
