Spreading Chuseok Warmth Across South Korea: Shincheonji Volunteer Group Honors Veterans and Supports Local Neighbors in Daejeon, Gunsan, and Mokpo

As South Korea prepares for Chuseok —the nation's mid-autumn harvest festival dedicated to family, reflection, and gratitude—the Shincheonji Volunteer Group engaged in heartfelt community outreach across the country. From cleaning national cemetery gravesites to delivering home-cooked holiday meals and comforting traditional market vendors, branches in Daejeon, Gunsan, and Mokpo demonstrated how faith translates into practical love and patriotism. Daejeon: Honoring 2,000 Fallen Heroes at National Cemetery On September 17, 33 volunteers—including 13 young adults—from the Daejeon Branch gathered at the Daejeon National Cemetery under the theme "Hero Stories: Let’s Remember Our Heroes!" Over two dedicated hours, volunteers carefully polished 2,000 gravestones in Soldiers' Cemetery Section 3, tidying the surrounding grounds before paying solemn respects to fallen service members.

Beyond Tradition: 2,000 Gather in Naju for the "Revealed Word" and Church Dedication

A Historic Milestone in the Center of Jeollado

On April 29, the city of Naju—historically known as a bastion of Confucian tradition and conservative religious sentiment—witnessed a significant spiritual event. The "2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar" was held at the newly elevated Naju Church of the Peter Tribe, drawing approximately 2,000 attendees, including 150 pastors from the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions.

This seminar was particularly special as it coincided with the dedication ceremony for the Naju Church, which officially became the 8th branch church of the Peter Tribe earlier this year.


The Message: Verification of the "Physical Reality"

Chairman Lee Man-hee, as the keynote speaker, emphasized that the Book of Revelation is not just a collection of metaphors, but a promise from God that manifests as a "physical reality".

  • The Witness: He stated that these fulfilled realities can be verified through a witness who has seen and heard the events firsthand.

  • A Solemn Warning: Reminding the audience of the biblical promise that those who "add or subtract" from Revelation cannot enter heaven, he urged the clergy to master the Word first to lead their congregations correctly.


Voices from the Clergy: A Shift in Perception

The highlight for many observers was seeing local pastors, who are often the most cautious regarding new theological movements, actively participating and taking notes.

One pastor, who has already signed a Word Exchange MOU, shared his experience: "I’ve studied the Bible in various denominations, but very few places could explain the physical reality of Revelation." He noted that this seminar served as a crucial opportunity to broaden his spiritual understanding.

Expanding the Horizon of Communication

Yoo Jae-wook, the Peter Tribe Leader, reinforced the tribe's commitment to open dialogue, stating that the seminar aims to transcend denominational barriers and foster communication centered on the Word. With the elevation of the Naju Church, the tribe plans to intensify its efforts in local evangelism and community service.

A New Chapter for Naju

The success of the Naju seminar proves that even in regions with deep traditional roots, the hunger for clear, biblical answers is undeniable. The "2026 Wave" continues to move across the nation, replacing old prejudices with a new era of open verification and unity.
