Shincheonji Church Volunteer Work 

"l Miss My Hometown"

I hope that does not happen anymore Korean War in my country. 

I hope this unity as soon as possible.

Shincheonji church has started to volunteer for the returnee from sakhalin and displaced person with the theme 'the home I had lived' from last October.

A number of displaced person already passed away and there are few people who know the hurt past.

So we have tried to search for them and we have found 625 people.

We took a photo which is named "long life photo"; it has our hope that they live long until reunification of two Korea to revisit their birth place.

And then, after we put their longing for home and the story of praying for peace.

The hair dealt with was put to each envelope and we attach it on the painting of Korea peninsular.

It is effort for us to leave their trail in the world.

Now it becomes 68 anniversary of Independence from Japanese colonized time to now, the returnee from Sakhalin still miss Sakhalin because the one who could not come back to home easily could not help leaving their family to come back to Korea for comforting their longing for home.

Returnee who sent to Sakhalin from Japanese colonial government returned Korea because they missed their hometown, but they still miss Sakhalin too because they left their family in there.

In the tragedy of Korean war, displaced person who came to South Korea never imagined that they can not back to home so long time.

So they blame the time; their left life is so short, whenever they visit Imjingak.

It  is the Korean that always overcome various hardships like a blooming sharon.

Now, ROK(Republic of Korea) which was strange name to other country is spread with the wind of Korean wave.

We appreciate some comforting those who would set the stage of it for such a suffering time.

Members of the Shincheonji church who engaged in volunteer work pledged to try harder to end war and made a peace world in the future.
