I'm proud of the fact that I'm a part of the Shincheonji volunteers which practice ‘Love Your Neighbor’ following Will of Jesus.
We have to lower ourself and serve others, we have to value fellow brothers and sisters, love them, and protect them. Always we have to remember Jesus who died in place of the sinners.
Let us retain noble hearts and good thoughts, and let us volunteer through the truth without having any national borders.
