[USA] APPELT PARK KNOTWEED REMOVAL in World Mission Society Church of God

Knotweed-Removal-7-18-10
World Mission Society Church of God in USA
On Sunday, July, 18, 2010, over 140 members of the World Mission Society Church of God in Ridgewood, NJ drove to the neighboring township of Riverdale to volunteer their time to uproot the invasive Japanese Knotweed from the banks of the Pequannock River. This project aligns with the World Mission Society Church of God’s continuous global effort to restore the planet’s natural environment. After the removal, native trees and shrubs will be planted, allowing native flora to thrive.
Japanese Knotweed, regarded as one of the world’s 100 most invasive species, flourishes in thick colonies under a wide range of conditions. It chokes out native plants, disrupts the ecosystem, damages structures and even reduces natural flood defenses. The dense mass of roots and bamboo-like stalks, capable of reaching over 12-feet high, makes the Japanese Knotweed especially difficult to remove. Executive board members of the Pequannock River Coalition (PRC) recruit groups of volunteers to undertake the immense task of uprooting the weeds multiple times a year. However, when the Church of God[WMSCOG] members arrived, Barbara Kushner, wife of Ross Kushner, Executive Director of the PRC, exclaimed, “I was told 100 people were coming [to volunteer]. I didn’t think that was possible, but here you all are!”
Church of God[WMSCOG] volunteers joined together in unity using pitchforks, shovels, and their gloved hands to dig up the stubborn growths under the sweltering heat and threat of poison ivy. Regardless of these circumstances, cheers of triumph and bursts of laughter echoed from the group. Church of God[WMSCOG] members completed “double the work in half the time,” as expressed by Laurence Bair, Chief Executive of the PRC. In an interview with NorthJersey.com, Ross Kushner shared, “The results speak for themselves. Most of the park is now free of knotweed. These folks deserve a big round of applause.”

[USA] FORT TRYON CLEANUP in World Mission Society Church of God

Fort-Tryon-3-13-11
World Mission Society Church of God in USA
As the seasons change, the landscape changes accordingly. Most regions in the world have very slight or no change in season, but the Northeastern region of the United States experiences very drastic climatic changes during the year. From freezing subzero winters to sweltering summers, the alternating weather patterns provide for a unique biome. New York City has it all, and maintaining this great city’s delicate ecosystem requires abundant resources and time. New York City depends largely on volunteers to maintain its large tracts of green space, to repair areas that have become fallow requires even greater amounts of resource.
As part of its continuous efforts to address environmental issues in the New York Area, the Church of God[WMSCOG] participated in a Spring Preparation Cleanup at the Fort Tryon Park in Inwood (New York, NY). On March 13, 2011, the volunteer core of the Church of God[WMSCOG] arrived on location early on Sunday morning to perform the cleanup task. In past decades, Fort Tryon, a historic and scenic landmark, fallen into disrepair due to poor funding. The old fort, which dates back to the Revolutionary War, has begun to be restored in recent decades, and the volunteers of the Church of God[WMSCOG] wanted to make the restoration goal more attainable.
In preparation for spring, the volunteers removed weeds to beautify the park, as well as all other kinds of human waste. Due to poor policing, the park had become a niche for a range of illicit activities, all leaving behind their human footprint. Understanding the importance of this historic site and unique ecosystem, the volunteers of the Church of God[WMSCOG] went to work quickly and, despite the small numbers, achieved remarkable success. Like a mother who would want the best for her children, the Church of God[WMSCOG] members, earnestly wanting to emulate Heavenly Mother, wanted to beautify this park area, to help it become the pride of the region and preserve it for posterity.
Through the grace of God the Father and God the Mother, substantial progress has been achieved. Yet, there is still much work to be done in this vast area. The members of the Church of God[WMSCOG] performed this environmental task with joy and gladness. The restoration, preservation and enhancement efforts in this area will continue. Following the example of Heavenly Mother, who is the Good Samaritan, the volunteers are eager to lend a helping hand when needed and are looking forward to participating more frequently in this location.

[USA] 1-MILE RIVER CLEANUP in World Mission Society Church of God

1-Mile-River-Cleanup-7.24.11
World Mission Society Church of God in USA
Over 100 volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God gathered to clean up Pennington Park along the Passaic River on July 24, 2011. The members cleaned up a substantial amount of the river surface, the riverbank, and adjacent park areas. For several hours, they worked under the sweltering heat to achieve a result that moved the hearts of the families that frequent the park.
For years, this area along the Passaic River had lain fallow and littered and had not been navigated. But it was once again flowing with watercrafts, as the Church of God[WMSCOG] members jumped into canoes for a more thorough clean of the river. Through unity and dedication, they were able to dispose of seemingly immovable material. A large amount of waste was collected in a centralized location to expedite its removal by the City’s Department of Public Works personnel.
Local residents, bystanders and city workers were moved by the dedication, joy and efficiency of the volunteers. One young woman saw them at work and immediately joined them, being moved to tears. “I’m so glad there’s a group that cares about nature,” she said.
“We make the effort of taking care of our environment and the local communities,” responded Pastor Daniel Lee, overseer of the Church of God[WMSCOG] in Ridgewood, “for this is in par with a Mother’s mind. Mothers want the best and most enriched environment to raise their children because Mother shows pure love to the children. This love is the core of God’s teaching and the guideline for action of the Church of God[WMSCOG].”
Through this event, the Church of God[WMSCOG] earnestly hopes the people of the local community will realize the importance of volunteerism and its positive effect in the community, particularly the youth. We hope that through it they will see the necessity of environmental work and take pride in the natural resources of the region.

[USA] MARSH PLANTING IN JAMAICA BAY in World Mission Society Church of God

CHURCH OF GOD[WMSCOG] VOLUNTEERS PLANT SALT MARSHES TO PREVENT FUTURE STORM SURGES IN JAMAICA BAY

Jamaica-Bay-Clean-up-9.9.12
World Mission Society Church of God in USA
Superstorm Sandy devastated the Rockaways leaving hundreds of families to piece together their destroyed homes and ruined memories. Volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God wasted no time and spent more than two weeks helping families drain out flooded basements and salvage as much as possible.
In the spring time, volunteers returned to the area and joined the American Littoral Society to plant salt marshes, which would help prevent future storm surges.
More than 100 volunteers from the Churches in Manhattan, Queens and northern New Jersey were ferried out by boat to a piece of dry land in the middle of Jamaica Bay. In the hot June sun, volunteers worked for hours to plant one marsh.
Industrial development and pollution have destroyed the marshes in the Bay. Salt marshes help the area from storm surges but also provide a habitat for wildlife.
Over the past five years, Church of God[WMSCOG] volunteers have been committed to helping restore Jamaica Bay and protect its habitat by carrying out different kinds of environmental protection events, like beach cleanups. We hope to continue our work in Jamaica Bay and help rebuild the Rockaways.

[USA] CLEANING SANDY DEBRIS IN JAMAICA BAY_ World Mission Society Church of God

MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED VOLUNTEERS REMOVE SANDY DEBRIS FROM JAMAICA BAY

JamaicaBayCleanupSandy9-22-13
Removing ten tons of debris is no easy task. But that’s how 200 members from the World Mission Society Church of God in New York spent their Sunday on September 22nd. Volunteers worked with the American Littoral Society to remove the debris that was left on the coastline since Hurricane Sandy’s damage to Broad Channel and the Rockaways last October.
To efficiently pick up planks, trash, boat wreckage, and bottles, among other environmental hazards, volunteers formed an assembly line of about a quarter-mile. In less than 4 hours, they were done with pulling out the waste from the marshland.
“The area was completely flooded by Sandy. [It was] really destroyed,” said Cathy of the American Littoral Society. “It’s great that you guys were able to help us in this area because a lot of debris that you picked up was from Sandy. And here we are, almost a year later and it’s still sitting there.”
“Because we believe in God the Father and God the Mother, we put Their teachings into practice by volunteering in our community through service activities like today’s,” said one of the Church of God volunteers. “Christ came as the Good Samaritan. That’s why we want to help out in any way we can to make the world a better place.”
The Church of God[WMSCOG] has been working with the American Littoral Society over the past five years to help restore Jamaica Bay. This past spring, the volunteers helped plant salt marshes to prevent future floods, like the ones caused by Superstorm Sandy.
The Church of God[WMSCOG] has especially been helping Broad Channel and the Rockaways rebuild after the storm. Fifteen days immediately after Sandy, hundreds of Church of God[WMSCOG] volunteers cleaned out flooded homes for families and, more importantly, helped restore their peace of mind and give them hope for the future.

Cambodia_cleanup1
The World Mission Society Church of God in Kampong Cham and the students and professors from Western University collected garbage along the riverside of River Mekong near the Kisona bridge in Kampong.

 Recently, the World Mission Society Church of God in Kampong Cham carried out the 1303rd Worldwide Clean-up Campaign. Around 100 people consisting of the members of the Church of God and the students and professors from Western University participated in the clean-up campaign to make people conscious about the seriousness of global warming and environmental pollution and to protect the life of mankind from various disasters by winning sympathy and participation of the people of the world in the clean-up activities.
 The Church of God, the host of the clean-up campaign, said that the purpose of the event was to practice the love of the Passover of the New Covenant which was restored by the Second Coming Jesus Ahnsahnghong for the salvation of mankind. Also, the Church added that the event was for raising the awareness of Cambodian people about global warming and environmental pollution.
 The clean-up campaign including this event took place simultaneously in around 2,200 areas in 150 countries where the World Mission Society Church of God[WMSCOG] was present. According to Chief Pastor Joo-cheol Kim and the Church of God, the Clean-up Campaign before the Passover would last until early April to revive the dying environment of the Earth. Also, the Church disclosed that the purpose of the activity was to prepare the Passover Assembly for celebrating the sacred birth of Christ Ahnsahnghong.
 The World Clean-up Campaign has been held about 100 times every year. The total number of the clean-up campaigns carried out from 2001 to January 2012, not including small-scale campaigns which have not been counted, amounts to as many as 1,272. These activities contribute to change environmental awareness of the world as well as to make the polluted Earth clean.

[UK Video] Clean-up prayers are answered!_World Mission Society Church of God


" ... Council leader Jim McMahon blasted residents for not taking responsibility.  
He said: "Some constituents expect us to start picking up after them. They think we should start with areas where residents don't look after their own streets. Do not attack the council for not taking action when you don't take your own."  
Councillor Jean Stretton said there had been a slight increase in litter in certain hotspots of the borough which tend to be those with dense residential properties for obvious reasons.  
There are 2,200 churches in 150 countries around the world, all participating in cleanups where they live. ... "

December25: the Birthday of Christ Ahnsahnghong By the World Mission Society Church of God


The World Mission Society Church of God was founded by Christ Ahnsahnghong in 1964 according to the prophecies of the Bible. The main doctrines of this Church are the Second Coming Jesus who comes in the flesh and the existence of God the Mother.
Christ Ahnsahnghong was born in 1918, began His preaching ministry in 1948 and passed away in 1985 after 37 years of ministry. This was to fulfill the prophecy of King David who had been anointed king at the age of 30 and had reigned 40 years (2 Samuel 5:4.) This work of King David had to be carried out by Jesus 2,000 years ago (Luke 1:30-31). But Jesus fulfilled His reign as the King of Universe for three years only when He was baptized at the age of 30 and was crucified at the age of 33 by those who denied Him. In this reason, Christ should come a second time in this last era to complete the remaining 37 years of David’s throne (Hebrews 9:27-28.)
The World Mission Society Church of God originated from South Korea and spread to the whole world. Currently, more than one million people believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.
Christ promised to appear a second time in the east to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. The Church of God believes the Second Coming Christ who came in the flesh with a new name in this age (Revelation 2:17.) This Church celebrates the birth of Christ Ahnsahnghong on this day December 25, 2011.
Another purpose of His Second Coming is to restore the truth of life that was brought by Jesus 2,000 years ago and was abolished during the Dark Ages (John 14:26-29.) This truth of life includes the Sabbath and the seven feasts of three times including the Passover, etc. This truth preached by the Church of God should be kept by the 144,000 children of God.

[Nepal] Worldwide Environmental Cleanup Campaign to prepare the Passover_World Mission Society Church of God



The Church of God carried out the Worldwide Environmental Cleanup Campaign for the

Passover in various areas in Nepal. The Passover, the feast that the disaster would "pass

over,” falls on April 17 this year

[Makwanpur, Nepal] A Christian feast of the Passover is the talk of the country these days after the 2011 Worldwide Environmental Cleanup Campaign carried out simultaneously in around 1,900 area in the world as well as many different areas in Nepal on Sunday March 20. Including South Korea where the headquarters and main temple of the World Mission Society Church of God (Chief Pastor Kim Joo-cheol) are located, this campaign took place all at once in around 1,900 areas in 150 countries such as the USA, Peru, Germany, Japan, India and Mongolia.
  According to the WMSCOG that hosted this event, the purpose of the massive Worldwide Environmental Cleanup Campaign was to prepare the Passover (April 17) and to revive the earth getting sick from environmental pollution. It added that the people of God have cleaned the temples and nearby areas ahead of the feast of God and hoped that the minds of people as well as the environment would be purified and many people would keep the Passover feast together.
  Massive clean-up activities were also carried out in various areas in Nepal on this day. The Church of God is the only church among many churches in Nepal that hosted large-scale environmental clean-up activities like this. In Kathmandu, about 2,000 church members participated in this event and collected many sacks of rubbish from the downtown and outskirts of the city including Bushundara, Narayanthan, the whole district of Gwarko and the streets of Satdobata. This campaign was also held in other cities such as Itahari, Chitwan, Damak, Dhangadi, Pipera, Simara and Hetauda. Around 110 church members in Hetauda joined this event to clean up the inside and outside of the Hetauda Public Stadium and the entire area of Huprachaur. Before the cleanup activity, the Stadium and the streets which had not been properly maintained for a long time were very dirty with all kinds of rubbish.
  After 2 hour environmental cleanup activity starting from 10 AM, a 5 ton truck was filled with rubbish collected by the members. People around the Public Stadium watched this campaign with curiosity. They appreciated the environmental cleanup activity of the church members, saying that many people have used the stadium but they have never seen people who carried out the voluntary cleanup of the facility and they were pleased with the clean environment.

The Passover is very important to the Church of God. This feast is based on the Bible and the word “PASSOVER” means that the disaster would “pass over.” The Passover is the first feast of the seven feasts of three times that God commanded His people to celebrate. However,it is strange to the most enthusiastic Christians as well as non-believers. It’s because that the Church of God is the only church that keeps the Passover according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, except the Jews who celebrate this feast by killing lambs as written in the Old Testament.
 The first Passover written in the Bible goes back to the time of Exodus in around 1290 B.C. When the disaster killing all the firstborn took place in the land of Egypt, the Israelites were protected from the disaster after keeping the Passover by putting the blood of the lambs on the sides and tops of the door frames of the houses by following the words of God (Exodus Chapter 12.) The same miracle occurred in the period of Two Kingdoms of Israel/Judah in around 720 B.C. At that time, the southern kingdom of Judah that kept the Passover was protected from the invasion of Assyria,while the northern kingdom of Israel that refused to keep the Passover was destroyed (2nd Kings Chapter 18.)
 
In the age of the New Testament, Jesus Christ kept the Passover of the New Covenant with the bread and the wine with Twelve Disciples. The well-known Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vincidepicts the scene the Passover was celebrated. Jesus Christ said that the Passover bread and wine is His flesh and blood, and He promised the forgiveness of sins (or salvation) to those who partake in the ceremony of the Passover of the New Covenant (Matthew Chapter 26; John Chapter 6.)
 The Church of God values the Passover above everything else because it believes the teachings of the Bible absolutely. This church has a firm belief on the promise of God that the saints who keep the Passover will be protected from all kinds of disasters taking place around the world and receive salvation as the Israelites who kept the Passover were untouched by the disaster. This church also believes that the saints who keep the Passover today will receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life and enter the kingdom of heaven as did the early church members such as Peter and Paul who kept this feast.
 Also, the Church of God emphasizes that the promise of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life is only valid when we eat and drink the bread and wine on the date of the Passover as Jesus set an example for us. Therefore, if we eat and drink the bread and wine every week, every month or every year on other dates, it’s not the true Passover and we cannot receive the promise of the eternal life.
  The date of the Passover written in the Bible is the 14th day of the 1st month in the sacred calendar. It falls on someday in March or April in the current Gregorian calendar and it’s on April 17 this year. The Church of God holds the 2011 Grand Assembly of the Passover in its branch churches throughout Nepal including Kathmandu. Also,the Grand Assembly of the Passover Service is held in 1,900 churches in 150 countries including South Korea where the headquarters of the Church of God is located.
 The Church of God stresses that the Passover is the seal of salvation and the seal of God through which we can be saved. The church also emphasizes that this feast is the truth which we should keep in this age of disasters and hopes that all people around the world will come to keep the Passover. And it adds that they will do their best to fulfill their duties as messengers so that there will be no one who cannot keep this feast because they didn’t listen to the news of the Passover.

The Church of God started from South Korea and believes in God the Mother as well as God the Father as Saviors based on the teachings of the Bible. And this church keeps and preaches the Sabbath and the seven feasts of three times consisting of the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Resurrection Day, the Day of Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles according to the teachings of Jesus Christ of 2,000 years ago. The WMSCOG that originated from South Korea in the east and spread to the western countries has 400 local churches in Korea where the headquarters is based and 1,500 churches in 150 overseas nations. In Nepal, it has 12 churches in Kathmandu and about 60 churches in other areas throughout the nation including Damak, Pokhara and Hetauda. The members of the Church of God are preaching the truth of the New Covenant enthusiastically and are taking lead in help-for-your-neighbor campaigns,disaster relief and environmental cleanup campaigns and supporters activities by following the love of God the Mother.

[Mongol] The World Mission Society Church of God in Darkhan is reaching out a helping hand

 
This Church was founded in Korea in 1964 and currently has around 2,200 branch churches in 150 countries around the world. And the Church has been spread to the world under the name of the World Mission Society Church of God. The Church of God started its activity in Mongolia in 2004 and in Darkhan-Uul Province in 2009 by obtaining official approval from the authorities. The goal of this Church is to preach the prophecies of the Bible with hard evidence and to communicate a wide range of information. Also, it gives faith of life, power and wish of escaping the pain and suppression of life. Furthermore, the Church has been conducting various voluntary services.
Some examples of the voluntary services of this Church include:
1.     On March 11, 2012, two tons of wastes were collected from 4,000 m2 streets in an apartment area of District No. 8, Darkhan-Uul Province. Some laborers of District No. 8 as well as 31 members of the Church participated in this clean-up campaign. The Church of God carried out clean-up campaigns in this district two times so far. The Church supported 33,200 MNT as the cost of banners, invitation cards, microphone batteries and film development.
2.    On April 29, 2012, more than 400 members participated in a campaign to clean up 6,000 m2 streets near Hara River, Darkhan-Uul Province. The Church of God supported 76,580 MNT to pay for banners, clean-up campaign preparation and meals. This voluntary service carried out in Darkhan was the ‘1,371st Worldwide Voluntary Service’ of this Church.
3.     On  July 25, 2012, the Church of God performed a blood drive in Darkhan Hospital. Twenty five saints joined in this blood donation drive. Non-saints also voluntarily participated in this event. Also, the Church spent 1,750 MNT on banners and meals.
The voluntary services of this Church have been carried out in 150 countries around the world including Mongolia. Currently, the Church of God has four branch churches in Ulaanbaatar, which have also conducted voluntary services and received various awards from the Ministry of Water Supply and the Ministry of Environment of Mongolia. The Church of God around the world has been united under the slogan “The Whole World with the Love of Mother,” and has been committed to set an example with good deeds to others and create a better life for future.
The World Mission Society Church of God has paid the taxes and social insurance costs regularly within the time for payment and has followed all applicable laws and regulations of Mongolia. Also, the Church participated in a forum for religious groups held at the Child Welfare Center on December 10, 2012.
The Church presented coal and firewood to its neighbors with a warm heart like the love of Mother. The Church of God in Darkhan supported 40 bags of coal and firewood to 10 households in commemoration of the Day of the New Jerusalem.
A warm breeze of love blows to a global village. A breeze of love which makes dying lives alive with the heart of Mother who cares for children and which gives hope to neighbors who are suffering from diseases. This love is essential for mankind of this age when people are getting hard-hearted due to disputes and antagonism.
It is the World Mission Society Church of God (Chief Pastor: Joo-cheol Kim), a global religious group, that causes this warm breeze. They has been conducting massive voluntary services around the world beyond borders and religions in commemoration of the ‘Day of New Jerusalem 2012’ and created a sensation.
“Celebrating the Day of New Jerusalem, we would like to spread the greatest love and good news of Mother who saves mankind.” The Church of God explained the purpose of the global sharing love.
The voluntary services in this round are intended to target the whole world as well as Mongolia. The World Mission Society Church of God has been carried out such activities as massive blood drive, clean-up campaign, briquette delivery, a party in honor of the aged and visit to a government office or organization, considering the special nature of each country or region and the needs of each local government or community.
On Monday December 31, 2012, the Church of God in Darkhan provided 10 homes in Darkhan-Uul Province with 20 bags of coal and 20 bags of firewood respectively.
The Mongolian winter is so unbearable cold that heating fuel is absolutely necessary. However, the fuel cost is expensive, which increases the burden on people in need. “In commemoration of the Day of New Jerusalem 2012, we took action to deliver the love of God the Mother to neighbors who are having a tough life,” said Pastor Shin, Joo-ho of the Church of God in Darkhan. “We are happy to help them spend a warm winter.”
That day, coal and firewood were delivered to each home by Pastor and members of the Church. “I was anxious about this winter because I was told that it would be especially cold this year. I feel relief and happy to receive coal and firewood,” said Odonchimeg who had three children.
As is well known, the World Mission Society Church of God believes that God the Mother exists as well as God the Father based on the Bible. The Church has 2,200 branch churches in 150 countries around the world. It is a large-scale church whose number of registered members is about 1.75 million.
The Church of God is well known for practicing the love of God the Mother as well as its missionary work based on the Bible. The Church has been conducting heartfelt activities including Blood Drive to Give Life Through the Love of the Passover, various disaster recovery activities such as global environmental protection campaigns, campaigns to help neighbors in need, and supporters’ activity. The devoted voluntary services of this Church, which has been carried out in every part of the globe, are greatly welcomed by the governments of each country and the U.N.
The Church of God said, “Just as children in danger need their mothers, so people, who are living among disasters, diseases, famines, economic depression and climate catastrophes, need the love of God the Mother in our days. We hope that humans will come to God the Mother to receive true peace and happiness, and furthermore, salvation.”

[Cambodia] Worldwide Movement of World Mission Society Church of God


Yesterday, 200 volunteers gathered at the Olympic Stadium to participate in the international environmental cleanup campaign. The World Mission Society Church of God hosted this cleanup event, and most especially Buzzum Serei, Vice President of the Department of Physical Education, came and gave life to the event.
“To preserve and clean up the environment is a big challenge of all nations around the world, and it’s a hot issue that all people should have an interest in and focus on,” said Mr. Serei. “Although Cambodia is a Buddhist country, we must cooperate closely to conserve and take care of our environment.”
Lee, Yong-moon of the World Mission Society Church of God, said that the event was carried out simultaneously by 1,900 churches, in more than 150 countries including Cambodia.
And he stressed that the Church of God has arranged the Worldwide Campaign regularly to cure the world and reduce pollution with warm touch of love when the feast of Passover is coming near every year. Lee also added that this event can help to promote and enhance better understanding of environmental cleanup of all people. The church keeps the Passover this year on April 14.
