Equipping Believers to Save Lives: Shincheonji’s Bartolomew Tribe Holds CPR Training for 200 Members

In an emergency, knowing what to do can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony’s Bartolomew Tribe (headed by Tribe Leader Choi Joong-il) organized a large-scale CPR training session for 200 congregation members at the Yeongdeungpo Church.

Why CPR Matters More Than Ever

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving technique used when a person’s heart stops beating or they stop breathing. By maintaining blood circulation until professional medical help arrives, CPR can delay brain damage and dramatically improve survival rates.

According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, performing CPR can increase a cardiac arrest patient’s survival rate by 1.7 times and brain recovery rate by 2.2 times compared to doing nothing.

Recent incidents have shown its importance—such as in Gwangju, where a collapsed delivery worker regained consciousness within five minutes thanks to quick CPR from nearby customers.


Hands-On Learning with Realistic Practice

The two-hour training was led by the Bartolomew Tribe’s medical team and covered:

  • CPR theory and practice

  • How to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

  • The Heimlich maneuver for choking emergencies

Participants practiced on individual CPR mannequins, learning how to check responsiveness, call emergency services, perform effective chest compressions, and use an AED. The repetitive, realistic practice helped build confidence and readiness.

Building Confidence to Act in an Emergency

One participant shared,

“I had only seen CPR on TV. If someone collapsed near me, I wouldn’t have known what to do. Now I understand how important every second is.”

Another added,

“The step-by-step guidance during practice really helped. Repeating the process made it feel natural."

 

Commitment to Ongoing Safety Education

A representative from the tribe’s Health and Welfare Department emphasized,

“Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, anytime. With heat-related illnesses on the rise this summer, knowing CPR is more important than ever.”

The Bartolomew Tribe plans to make CPR training an annual program so members are always prepared to respond to emergencies—promoting a culture of safety, preparedness, and respect for life both inside and outside the church.
