Shincheonji, Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereafter, Shincheonji, Church of Jesus, Chairman Man Hee Lee) provides a place to suggest a win-win plan with Korean church in the future, sharing the result of exchange·cooperation which is accomplished after signing MOU with established denominations at home and abroad.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus holds a press conference on the 19th at the Shincheonji Peace Institute in Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. Chairman Man Hee Lee, who has consistently delivered the message of 'Let's interact with the words of the Bible', meets with reporters in person to present the significance and results of the Bible Seminars and has the time of QnA suggesting 'the way for the Korean church to move forward'. In addition, pastors who signed an MOU with Shincheonji Church of Jesus will share his experiences. 

Nationwide seminars of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and the MOUs for exchange between churches have the greatest purpose for Korean churches to become one in the Bible and to prepare a way for coexistence through mutual cooperation and exchange. 

The reason why Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which proclaims 'We are one in GOD', is preparing a way for coexistence like this is because the number of believers leaving the church is rapidly increasing. Recently, it is a reality that de-Christianization is accelerating not only in Korea but also in the United States and Northern Europe, where the proportion of Christians, including Protestants, has traditionally been high. 

On the other hand, Shincheonji Church of Jesus surprised the religious field by producing more than 100,000 graduates last year despite the pandemic of Corona 19. Against this background, due to social distancing of COVID-19, the selection criteria has shifted the to the Word rather than external things such as Christian forces. And, as Shincheonji Church of Jesus quickly switched to online education, believers who were thirsty for the Word could receive education more easily than before. 

710In line with this trend, Chairman Man Hee Lee served as a lecturer at the 'Revealing Fulfillment Reality of Revelation, the New Covenant' held in six cities across the country from April to last month, including Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Incheon, Gwangju, and Daegu, and ended with great success. 1,509 domestic pastors attended the Bible Seminar, and 52,698 overseas pastors watched through online. In addition, 213,400 people is the general public who visited the site and who watched the Bible seminar, which was broadcast live online, and 195,710 people is general public from overseas. 

addition, there are currently more than 110,000 students at the Zion Christian Mission Center of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, of which 435 pastors are domestic and 2,442 pastors are from abroad. Since the Bible seminar in April, 69 new MOUs have been signed between Shincheonji Church of Jesus and domestic pastors, 1,274 have been signed overseas, and 8,176 churches in 80 countries have officially signed to exchange. 

An official of Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, “We are supporting Shincheonji theological materials and dispatching theological instructors to each church and seminary with which we have signed an MOU. We will continue to actively interact with churches in order to become one in God."

He added, “We will grow together with the church in difficulties by continuing to support and exchange not only Bible education, but also fulfilling the role of sharing and volunteering that the church is supposed to do in the local community.”
