Lively festival scene at Shincheonji, Jeonju Church was bustling, featuring sights such as a ceremonial guard and traditional folk music performances.
Over 250 pastors attended offline, with more than 200 additional pastors participating online.
Attending pastors promised to “learn well and share” as they presented a bouquet to the Chairman.
The festival that unveiled the difficult-to-understand Book of Revelation that began from the end of last month until the 13th concluded in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province.
The Shincheonji Church of Jesus, led by Chairman Lee Man-hee, held the “Shincheonji Jeonju Evangelsim Seminar ” on the 13th, attended by over 16,000 people, including more than 250 pastors.
The main building, annex, and even the outdoor parking lot of the Shincheonji Jeonju Church were filled with participants. However, due to capacity limitations and safety considerations, not everyone who wished to attend could be invited.
As a result, the number of pastors who listened online exceeded 200, and the total online viewership reached 117,000.
Even four hours before the event began, the area around the Shincheonji Jeonju Church was bustling with crowds. By two hours before the event, participants filled not only the building but also the seats set up in the outdoor parking lot.
To welcome early arrivals, members of the Shincheonji Church lined up from the “Honam First Gate” near Jeonju IC to the event venue, creating a lively atmosphere with various performances along the more than 1 km stretch.
A military band and a traditional folk music group in traditional attire marched through the streets, turning the evangelism seminar into a festive occasion.
Notably, over 250 pastors from other denominations attended in person, adding significance to the event. During his opening remarks, Chairman Lee Man-hee encouraged the pastors, saying, “If there are any errors in what I communicate, please feel free to raise your hand and ask questions at any time.”
Chairman Lee explained that just as Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies during His first coming, the events of the Book of Revelation are being realized today.
He emphasized the importance of confirming one’s own identity in relation to the Bible and being aware of how one has been recreated according to its teachings, as he mentioned specific events from the chapters of Revelation.
He repeatedly stated that the contents of Revelation should not be arbitrarily added to or taken away from, urging participants to go and find the place that has available clear testimonies and verify the teachings of the Shincheonji Church.
After the lecture, two pastors from other denominations presented a bouquet to Chairman Lee, expressing gratitude for helping them understand Revelation. They remarked, “Thank you for enlightening us on the Book of Revelation. We will learn this message well and share it.”
A pastor from the Jeonbuk region who attended the evangelism seminar remarked, “It was impressive to see how strongly he emphasized that the Book of Revelation is a promise from Jesus and should not be altered carelessly. I think it would be beneficial to open our hearts and seriously learn from these teachings.”
Missionary Park, who came from a nearby area, shared, “Since watching the YouTube lectures after the Ulsan Word Seminar in January, I found the teachings to be shockingly refreshing and like a much-needed rain. It feels like I have found a new guide for my missionary work moving forward.”
Members of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, from the Thomas tribe, actively promoted the purpose of the evangelism seminar and engaged directly with citizens, who showed great interest by taking photos of the street parade.
Earlier this month, the Thomas tribe also held a walking event to promote the evangelism seminar in places like Jeonju Pungnam Market and Jeonju Hanok Village, uniting their efforts to convey the realization of the messages from Revelation.
A representative from the Shincheonji Church stated, “We thank all the participants who supported and joined us over the past 20 days. We will prepare to create more opportunities to meet again.” They emphasized, “In the future, the Shincheonji Church will continue to adhere to the teachings of the Bible and strive to share the messages of the Book of Revelation that have been realized in our time.”
