84 Ethiopian Churches Adopt Shincheonji Name in Major Religious Shift
Eighty-four churches across Ethiopia have changed their signboards to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, representing a significant religious transformation driven by pastors who mastered the New Covenant Revelation teachings.
The religious landscape in Ethiopia has undergone a substantial transformation as 84 churches across 10 cities have officially changed their church signboard names to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. This development follows a signboard changing ceremony hosted by Shincheonji Church's Peter Tribe on September 10th, where all 84 participating pastors declared their new membership in the organization.
The pastors collectively stated their commitment to spreading their newly adopted teachings throughout Ethiopia, emphasizing that both pastors and believers should follow only the truth and devote themselves more fervently to the ministry of the word. This mass conversion stems from the efforts of Ethiopian Pastor Asefa Angeto, who participated in the 2nd Global Invitation Revelation Seminar held in November 2024 at the Shincheonji Cheongju Church in South Korea.
After returning to Ethiopia, Pastor Asefa traveled to more than 100 churches across 10 cities, conducting seminars and testifying about the revealed word he had learned from Shincheonji Church of Jesus. His extensive outreach efforts have been credited with creating this breakthrough within the Ethiopian Christian community, which is now experiencing a significant shift in religious affiliation and practice.
A representative from Shincheonji Church's Peter Tribe confirmed that currently 181 pastors in Ethiopia are learning the revealed word from Shincheonji Church of Jesus. The organization has committed to continuing its efforts to demonstrate that the prophecies of Revelation have been fulfilled today and to work toward global church unity through their teachings. This development represents one of the largest coordinated religious transitions in recent Ethiopian history and could signal broader changes in Christian practices throughout the region.
