Shincheonji Winners Club Pastor Forum Gains Recognition

The Shincheonji Church of Jesus, John Tribe, recently hosted the 6th Winners Club Pastor Forum on January 22 at Shincheonji Gangdong Church in Hanam City, drawing over 200 pastors. The event continues to gain recognition for fostering unity and biblical discussions among pastors in the capital region.

What is the Winners Club?

The Winners Club is a network of pastors primarily from the Seoul and southern Gyeonggi region, dedicated to transcending denominational boundaries and promoting biblical discussions. It provides a platform for pastors to engage in meaningful dialogue, deepen their scriptural understanding, and strengthen unity within the Christian community.

The session focused on “The Seven Heads and Ten Horns of Revelation 13” and “The Prostitute of Revelation 17,” exploring complex biblical topics. Attendees engaged in lively discussions, with many expressing appreciation for the insights shared. Pastor Byun, a Presbyterian minister of 25 years, stated, “The teachings here have deepened my faith and understanding.” Pastor Kim, a first-time attendee, shared, “This was a valuable opportunity to grasp Revelation more clearly.” A survey revealed that 89.5% of attendees were satisfied, and 94.7% planned to return, highlighting the forum’s growing impact.


Future Growth and Expectations

The forum’s influence continues to expand, with many first-time attendees joining through peer recommendations. During this forum, 12 pastors were appointed as ambassadors to promote the Winners Club, further expanding its influence. The newly appointed ambassadors will further promote dialogue and cooperation among pastors.

Tribe Leader Lee Ki-won emphasized, “We will continue fostering gospel exchange and unity through the Winners Club. I encourage more pastors to participate with passion.”

As the forum grows, it remains a key platform for enhancing communication and strengthening the Christian community in the region.
