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.

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.

[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 (2^nd 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 14^th day of the 1^st 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.

[Peru] Environmental clean-up campaign for celebration of the birth of the Christ Ahnsahnghong_World Mission Society Church of God

 In the city of Ilo, an environmental clean-up campaign was conducted, where the members of the World Mission Society Church of God played an important role in showing the love and good works of the Christ to the world.

 This event is organized to prepare and announce the birth of the Second Coming Christ, who was born on December 25 (the 1^st day of the 12^th month December 1 in the lunar calendar.)

 The purpose of this campaign is to raise people’s awareness on the second coming of the Savior in the east from the ends of the earth according to the prophecies of the Bible. The Church of God states that He came to the earth to allow us the promise of salvation and the forgiveness of sins.

 Most especially, we can recognize a hidden mystery through this event: the existence of Heavenly Mother who gives us the water of life.

 The Church of God also says, “Saving the earth in danger from environmental disasters is practicing the love of God who loves all mankind. It carried out this environmental clean-up movement with the slogan “Rejoice, the whole people of God.God has come a second time in the east from the ends of the earth. Come to Zion, the city of salvation, to celebrate together the birth of the Christ whom the Bible testifies about.”

[Germany] The Environmental Cleanup Campaign before the Passover_World Mission Society Church of God

[March 23, 2011 / Obersendling, Germany] On a clear day, 15 members of the World Mission Society Church of God gathered near the Aidenbachstraße underground station. They collected garbage, which could be found, in their plastic bags for about 2 hours. At the end, 10 trash bags were filled with cigarette butts, bottle stoppers, broken glass and other debris lying in the streets.

 Ratizingerplatz looked like a garbage dump when compared to a near square in Munich just before this event. A bus station at the Aidenbachstraße station also required cleanup. Now a scrap of garbage is not seen – not even a cigarette butt there.

 The Environmental Cleanup Campaign before the Passover was carried out simultaneously by the Church of God in about 1,900 cities including Munich in 150 countries.

The World Mission Society Church of God, which started from South Korea, wants to purify the world and your hearts with this environmental action.

Small Church, Big Results 

A small church participates in various activities

 If the members of the World Mission Society Church of God call to action in Wexstrasse 27, it leads to a worldwide activity.

 So will it be on March 11, when an environmental clean-up action will take place in as many as 1,900 cities in more than 150 countries around the world. While the clean-up campaign was carried out around the Federal Court in Berlin last year, the area near the Rotes Rathaus (Red City Hall) will be cleaned up this year. If you want to participate in this campaign, you can come to the Station Hackescher Markt by1:00 PM.

 Also, the World Mission Society Church of God has been engaged in blood donations from all over the world. The Church of God in Wilmersdorf conducted its first blood drive in Germany.

 On January 30, about 60 citizens responded to the campaign and donated blood at the Haema Blood Donation Center. This Church plans to repeat this activity in April by following the appeal of Daniel Bahr, the Minister of Health of the Federal Republic of Germany and member of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), who has called for blood donations.

 Deacon Julian George explained the blood donation metaphysically saying: “Jesus Christ gave eternal life through the blood on the cross 2,000 years ago. We can give life to other people by donating blood.”

 The blood drive, which was conducted in front of the blood donation center in the evening of this day, attracted the attention of many passers-by and some of them like Wilhelm Gebelein joined the campaign voluntarily.

 Pastor Byeongho Lee personally gave thanks to the participants, standing next to the blood donation vehicle. There were many Church members who donated blood for the first time like Laura Rein. Smiling, she allowed Erick Lehmann, Haema employee, to insert the needle.

 Conrad Strathausen, theological student,was somewhat excited at his first blood donation and said, “God did not hesitate to shed His blood for us, so there is no hesitation for me.” The vouchers and the allowances of blood donation are to be donated by the Church of God for charitable purposes.

 The World Mission Society Church of God was founded by Ahnsahnghong-nim in Korea in 1964. It has around 2,000 Churches in 150 countries around the world and the total number of the registered Church members amounts to 1.6 million. This Church attracted the attention of the world when it held Charity Concert for Haiti Earthquake Victims. After the Concert, the outcome of US$100,000 was handed over to the United Nations. Since then, the Church of God has worked directly with the United Nations Headquarters.In 2011, it was honored by the U.S. President Barack Obama for its volunteering work.

 On 6th March, Tuesday, at their own cost, World Mission Society Church of God cleaned up Oldham town centre. Many residents gave them compliments and encouraged their effort. And they collected about 100 bin bags.

 Also, they have gathered at Queen Elizebeth Hall to give blood. From 6th March, Around 2,200 places in 150 countries are doing this campaign together. It is to practice the love of the Passover of the new covenant(5th April), which was restored by Ahnsahnghong the Christ who came a second time.

 And 5th March, On Sunday, they have cleaned Hyde Town to cheer up people. And 1st February, they cleaned Bury Town and Eric Street, Oldham which was reported as problem for litters.

 31st January, 2012, around 80 members of World Mission Society Church of God carried out clean-up campaign to practice the love of second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong. They have cleaned Cliford Road, an area that already has been reported to be full of rubbish.

 29th January, there was a very big festival in China town, in the city centre and it caused a large amount of rubbish to be spread in the surrounding area. As the Church of God is practicing the love of second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong they felt it their duty to help and clean up. 

 The Church of God will continue to clean up the whole of Manchester every Sunday and after special events until Manchester is completely cleaned as they feel it is their duty to spread the love and sacrifice of second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong.

 The Blood Drive and Environmental Cleanup Campaign on a global scale to heal the sick earth is to be carried out in 150 countries including UK all together. It is the “2012 Worldwide Blood Drive and Environmental Cleanup campaign for the Passover” held by the World Mission Society Church of God(General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol).

 The Church of God says that the purpose of this cleanup campaign is to “practice the love of the Passover of the new covenant, which was restored by Ahnsahnghong the Christ who came a second time.” The Church adds that it is also to “inform people of the seriousness of environmental pollution and save lives through blood donation.”

 The campaign is to be carried out in about 2,200 places of 150 countries where the branches of the Church of God have been established; including the United Kingdom, United States, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa will carry out the campaign together. The Church says that it will keep holding the campaign by April 5, the sacred Assembly of the Passover 2012.

 The Passover of the new covenant, which the Church regards as important, is the day when Jesus Christ promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to those who have bread and wine representing His flesh and blood; Jesus established this new covenant on the night before He was crucified 2,000 years ago.

 Following the teaching of Jesus Christ, the Church of God keeps the Passover by eating bread and drinking wine in the evening of the 14th day of the first month in the sacred calendar every year.

 As it is name imparts, the Church says that disasters pass over that disasters pass over those who keep the Passover. It originated from the Exodus when the Israelites were protected from the disaster by putting the blood of the lamb on the sides and tops of the doorframes of their houses.

 The Church of God believes that Christ Ahnsahnghong is God in the age of the Holy Spirit because he restored the Passover of the new covenant, which was abolished at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325 after Jesus ascended. The Church of God says that it is the only church in the world, which keeps the Passover of the new covenant, following the regulations of the Bible on the correct day. This year, the Passover falls on 5th April.

 The Church of God keeps the seven feasts in three times according to the Bible including the Resurrection Day and the Feast of Tabernacles as well as the Passover, and it is known as the church that follows every regulation of the new covenant- the Sabbath, Baptism and the regulation of veil.
