A monthly clean-up campaign exercise established by the Shincheonji Church of Jesus (SCJ) to win souls and maintain hygienically environment has provoked marketers’ volunteer service to action.
“Six marketers agreed to work with us, and some signed memorandum of understanding,” Fruitfulness S. A. Joe, SCJ-Liberia’s publicity head, said in an interview at their Du-Port Road headquarters. “They signed to contribute to the clean-up exercise, wear the sanitation team T-shirt and fully participate.”
The May 2026 “First Saturday Clean-up” campaign brought together 62 participants, including saints and students of SCJ and marketers, according to publicity Joe.
The “Clean Du-Port Road Market Campaign” was launched to reawaken the church’s previous sanitation program, which operated sometimes but closed for administrative reason. Its previous sanitation campaign was on every last Saturday of each month, which started 2021 to 2024 and impacted the entire Du-Port Road community and beyond.
However, SCJ has resounded the lack of equipment and garbage disposal site, called on humanitarian groups, government agencies and others for assistance.
“Right now, we don’t have equipment and garbage disposal site,” Joe said. “We talk of cooperating with the Paynesville City Corporation so that it can help us with tricylce or truck, rain coats and boots.”
The Paynesville City Corporation is the largest municipality in Liberia, with the highest population.
According to SCJ, it has manpower for the sanitation exercise but it faces equipment nightmare.
The Du-Port Road Market, situated at the intersection of roads that leads to Rehab Community, Redlight, Du-Port Road Intersection and Waterside, is a hub of transaction.
SCJ’s clean-up exercise started from its head branch in South Korea by the Promise Pastor, and is intended to impact the world where SCJ is.
“Our vision is to see Liberia is clean and fall to Jesus,” Joe informed.
A few of the marketers said SCJ, which is not government’s agent, has volunteered to clean their market monthly, and this has caused them to pledge their full support.
“As long as SCJ will clean our market every first Saturday, we will contribute our funds and service,” the marketers said.
SCJ-Liberia called on all Liberians to be sanitation conscious and attend the church’s Bible School, which is Zion Christian Mission Center.
Shincheonji is a Korean word that means “New Heaven and New Earth”, and SCJ is a Korean Church in South Korea.
The pending June 2026 clean-up campaign, according to publicity Joe, will have more participants than previous ones.
