Seismic Shift in Korean Churches? Pastors Flock to Verify Shincheonji's Teachings
ANAHEIM, Calif., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A major Bible seminar hosted by Chairman Man Hee Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony drew over 500 pastors on May 17 at the Shincheonji Peace Training Center in Cheongpyeong, Gyeonggi Province. Originally planned for 200 participants, the seminar had to move outdoors to accommodate the unexpected turnout.
Titled "Bible Seminar on the Fulfillment of Revelation," the event reflected growing interest in Shincheonji's teachings among pastors, even those who had previously regarded the group as heretical.
At the seminar, Chairman Lee testified to the prophecies and fulfillment of all 22 chapters of Revelation. He shared how he came to faith without formal theological training and why he now preaches the fulfillment of Revelation as witnessed firsthand. "Everyone wants to go to heaven and gain eternal life, but Revelation warns that altering the text leads to curses and prevents entry into heaven (Revelation 22:18–19). Shouldn't this be addressed?" Lee emphasized, "What I intend to convey is the reality of the prophecies recorded from Revelation chapter 1 to 22—what I have seen and now testify to."
"Let's put aside pride and think objectively. Be honest with yourself. More than anything, be confident that you are worthy of entering heaven," Lee added. "Is belonging to a traditional denomination what makes one orthodox? Jesus didn't belong to any denomination of his time. We must know the Bible clearly. If anything I've said is wrong, please point it out."
Many pastors were reportedly shocked by Lee's ability to explain the entire Book of Revelation without opening a Bible, despite lacking formal theological education.
One pastor who had previously considered Shincheonji a cult said, "Now that I've examined it for myself, I realize it isn't. If the teachings align with the Bible, we must acknowledge them." He added, "We must not repeat the mistake of rejecting God's work, as people did during Jesus' first coming."
As more pastors seek direct verification of Shincheonji's teachings, a shift in perception appears to be spreading across the religious community. According to Shincheonji, 858 Korean churches have signed MOUs for scriptural exchange, and 100 have adopted the Shincheonji name.
Chairman Lee concluded, " Jesus ' promises have always been fulfilled, and Revelation will be no different. Let's become one in the Bible and one family under God."
Shincheonji expects that the rest of 2025 will see an even greater wave of follow-up education and religious change across Korea.

Across the U.S., Over 45,000 Participate in 100 BAPS Charities Walks
NEW YORK, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a powerful display of community unity and service, more than 45,000 Americans across 100 cities participated in the annual BAPS Charities Walk-Run this past weekend, turning local streets into pathways of collective action. Through a unique approach, this nationwide initiative allowed each city to support causes that mattered most to their communities. This year, the Walk-Run supported over 50 local organizations—from fire and police departments to groups serving veterans, seniors, women, and the homeless. More than 20 health-focused nonprofits also benefited, including those advancing mental health, cancer care, and family wellness. Several schools and education programs received support as well—underscoring how the Walk continues to make a meaningful impact in neighborhoods across the country. The volunteer effort highlighted a quiet but profound spirit of service, as families and individuals set out to make a difference. From 16-year-old Aarav Dubal lacing his sneakers in Robbinsville, New Jersey, to seniors walking with canes in Los Angeles, California, the energy was contagious. This year's theme, "Spirit of Service," resonated deeply in cities and communities across the country. In Houston, TX, the walk supported NAMI Greater Houston, helping fund vital mental health services in a city where post-pandemic demand has surged. In San Jose, CA, thousands laced up to provide essential resources for local public schools. Orlando, FL walkers raised funds for a children's cancer camp, while the Dallas, TX community rallied behind local veterans to ensure they receive the support they deserve. In Detroit, MI, participants walked to support their community, and in Albany, NY, the walk also benefited the local fire department. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, PA, walkers gave back to underserved neighborhoods and community centers. "Wonderful charities like BAPS Charities are helping to fight the stigma around mental health, and we appreciate you for that," said Angela Hudson, CEO of NAMI Greater Houston. The wide range of causes supported by the walk made a meaningful impact across communities and enhanced the well-being of individuals and families. "It's one thing to care," said Bhargav Ashier, a participant in Edison, NJ. "But it's another thing to show up. And this weekend, America showed up in force, proving that compassion is a powerful force for change." The event's unique community-focused structure allowed each city to maximize its local impact, reflecting specific needs. In Sugar Land, TX, hundreds joined the walk, including Mayor Joe Zimmerman, who lauded the effort: "Your community makes a real difference in Sugar Land. What you do matters." For over 20 years, BAPS Charities has cultivated this grassroots model, empowering everyday citizens to become changemakers. With more than 1,100 Walk-Runs organized across North America, over the past 20 years, the initiative has built a vast network of civic engagement. Nilkanth Patel, President of BAPS Charities, describes it as "the kindness ripple effect." "From New York to Houston, and San Jose to Detroit, our interconnected community," Mr. Patel explained, "is driven by compassion, ensures our work touches lives in cities all across the country." At a time when the importance of unity and harmony is paramount, this weekend offered a rare and compelling portrait of communities moving forward—step by step, city by city—towards tangible improvements in the lives of its citizens.

TurfMutt Foundation Advocates for Pollinators, Habitat-Rich Green Spaces
June is National Pollinator Month LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As National Pollinator Month unfolds in June, the TurfMutt Foundation urges everyone to support vital pollinator populations, such as birds, bees, butterflies and bats, in their family yards, parks, community gardens, greenways, municipal golf courses and other community green areas. These living landscapes can provide essential shelter and food for important pollinators. "Pollinators are the unsung heroes of the natural world, and are essential in growing fruits, vegetables and flowers," says Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation, which advocates for the care and use of managed green space. "By creating and maintaining healthy green spaces in our communities and backyards, we can directly support their survival and contribute to a healthier planet." A recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll for the TurfMutt Foundation revealed that connecting with nature (60 percent) and observing wildlife (51 percent) are among the most enjoyed activities in public green spaces, like public parks, underscoring the shared value these areas provide for both people, pets and pollinators. The TurfMutt Foundation offers four ways communities can tap into the power of green space for pollinators: Prioritize plants for your climate zone: Plant, tree and shrub species that naturally occur in your region are more beneficial to local pollinators than invasive species that can disrupt the ecosystem. Milkweed, for instance, is particularly valuable for monarch butterflies – a fantastic addition to any public green space. Plant for continuous blooms: Selecting a variety of nectar-rich, flowering plants and shrubs that bloom at different times during the year ensures continuous support for pollinators. Empower young pollinator advocates: Create programs to engage children in becoming pollinator champions. TurfMutt's free STEM-based lesson plans include an activity called Protecting Pollinators to help students learn how to design a green space where pollinators will thrive. Foster community stewardship: Foster community engagement to support pollinators through volunteer opportunities and pollinator-specific events. Encourage your community to plan for and protect parks, community gardens, green school yards and other community green space. For inspiration, consult the National Recreation & Park Association's Parks & Pollinators resource.
