Dedication Worship Service for the Churches in Asan-Jangjae and Dangjin

On July 1, when the second half of 2023 began, two churches in the Chungnam Church Region held a dedication service. The church in Asan, Jangjae, and the church in Dangjin received the blessing of dedication of the new temples along with the blessing of the Sabbath. The local communities and the members of nearby churches congratulated them on the dedication of the new temples in Chungnam Province. About 20 overseas members, who came to Korea from Malaysia, too, attended the dedication worship service and shared joy.

Heavenly Mother looked around each church before the service, and encouraged the members, saying, “Since Father was pleased to see all the churches in the Church Region working in unity for the gospel, He allowed us to have the temple of grace.” Through the worship service, Mother prayed that all the churches and members would reap the abundant fruit of the gospel in unity, and She wanted all of them to be the workers of the new covenant who deliver the hope of heaven to many people.

General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol delivered his sermon: “As the whole world is waiting for the water of life from Heavenly Mother as prophesied in the Bible, we must shine the light of glory of Mother and save local communities, countries, and the whole world.” He also said, “God has granted us a new temple to accomplish the gospel mission. Mother has been sacrificing Herself for a long time to protect us from the great war against Satan, and lead us to the kingdom of heaven. Let us spread the light of love to all region by preaching the gospel and doing good deeds, so that we may fulfill Mother’s will for the salvation of mankind” (1 Th 5:18–20; 2 Pe 1:18–19; Isa 60; Jer 31:31–34; Rev 12:17; Ge 3:15; Rev 13:2–5).

The members of the two churches said they would work harder for the gospel, so that the new temples would become the places where they diligently deliver the water of life of God Elohim throughout Chungnam Province beyond Asan and Dangjin.

Church in Jangjae, Asan

The Church has two stories below the ground and four stories above the ground, and it was established in Jangjae-ri, Asan, where the housing development is active. It is close to Cheonan and Asan Stations of the KTX and SRT, and also close to the Gyeongbu Expressway, so it is convenient for visitors as well as local residents.

The members in Asan are contributing to the development of the local community through various volunteer activities such as blood drives, street cleanups, and helping farmers in unity with the members in Cheonan, a neighboring city. In March 2022, it received an Appreciation Plaque from the Mayor of Asan.

Church in Dangjin

Dangjin was promoted to a city in 2012, and has been developing rapidly, based on the manufacturing industry. The Church in Dangjin, too, continued to grow as the number of members increased, and a new temple with four stories above and one basement was built in Daedeok-dong. The Church is adjacent to a park, and apartments are being built around it, so local residents are expected to visit the church more often.

The members, who has been working hard for preaching and volunteer activities, said, “Many people move to Dangjin from other regions for a stable life. We will make efforts to lead them to enjoy the true love and happiness from God.”
