Located in Palbok-dong, Jeonju, the Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe Jeonju Church recently hosted another “Open Sanctuary” event, transforming its lobby into a welcoming space for neighborhood interaction. Residents gathered to enjoy busking performances, exchange handwritten message cards, and share tea in a relaxed setting.

Shincheonji Daegu Church Holds Post-Chuseok Blood Donation Campaign to Support National Blood Supply

Following the long Chuseok holiday, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Thaddeus Tribe, Daegu Church (Pastor: Kim Su-jin) carried out a three-day blood donation campaign from October 10 to 14, drawing active participation from members eager to share life through giving blood.

A total of 167 congregants took part in the campaign, which aimed to ease the nationwide blood shortage that often occurs in the fourth quarter, when long holidays and reduced donations create critical supply gaps.


Continuing the Spirit of Giving After the Holidays

Chuseok, known as Korea’s harvest festival and a time of family gratitude, is also a season that reminds many of the value of sharing. Shincheonji Daegu Church sought to carry that spirit beyond the holiday itself—extending warmth to neighbors through the gift of life.

One participant, Kim Chang-jun (33, Daebong-dong, Daegu), shared:

“I’ve been donating blood since I was a student. I wanted to join this campaign to help others, and it was meaningful to see all our members unite as one for this purpose.”

A representative from the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Blood Center expressed appreciation:

“We are grateful to Shincheonji Daegu Church for consistently holding blood donation drives during shortages. Their ongoing participation inspires courage and motivation among citizens.”

Expanding Acts of Love Through Blood Donation

Church representatives also thanked the volunteers who made time to participate even right after the holidays, adding:

“We plan to continue expanding our blood donation initiatives and put our love for neighbors into practical action.”

Earlier this year, 888 members of Shincheonji Daegu Church successfully completed blood donations, and the church has announced plans for another full-member campaign in January.

Through these efforts, Shincheonji Daegu Church continues to demonstrate the power of unity, faith, and compassion—one drop at a time.
