Shincheonji News - Ten thousand Shincheonji congregation members became light of the world doing serving work behind the scenes

As a part of ‘Love Society Serving Love’, the volunteer work of serving for the farming area, cleaning and purifying Mt. Moo-Deung, cutting hair, molting, helping elders and tutoring are ongoing volunteer work from Shincheonji Gwangju Zion Church. This volunteer group is like a great dutiful son for that region.

The farming season has been on going since last May, and this volunteer group visited to help anywhere a hand was needed to work on strawberry, tomato and pepper farms. The owner of a tomato farm, Kwon, Mi Sook (52, female) stated, “Due to a lack of helping hands, there were many hardships and I could only sleep two hours a day, but now, I am so thankful because I received help from Shincheonji Church.”

These farming areas still need more help along with harvesting each item, such as getting rid of the weeds and checking the vinyl houses for future harvest.

Shincheonji volunteer group, the light and salt of the world

The work of Shincheonji volunteer groups became a hope to residents. Volunteer work first began to help low-income residents, to give free haircuts for the elderly, and to serve meals and spend time together with the elders. These volunteer services have since continued, and many people have called to become part of this volunteer work.

Kwang Sook Kim(45, female) who lives in Gwangju, Ochi-Dhong said, “It’s been a while since I have seen a big smile from the old lady next door.” She also stated the volunteer work from Shincheonji Church is sincere and heartfelt.

Since the start of summer vacation, the volunteers have gathered students who do not have a mom or dad, and have given free tutoring, cooked together with them, helping students forget about the hot summer.

Mi Young Lee (28, female) is part of Shincheonji volunteer group and said, “We are the ones who get served by serving other people.” Ms. Lee stated, “If I open the window, do the laundry, clean all the dust and finish organizing my area, ‘I’m the one who feel the happiness.” She promised that she will serve anywhere help is needed.

One of the representatives from Shincheonji Gwangju Zion Church said, “The work of serving is the mindset that all believers should have. Just like the sky pours upon us constant light, rain and air, our serving work to help a life to live will continue in the same way for the residents in this area.”
