CANBERRA, Australia - Marylandian -- Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — [September 10^th, 2025] – In a historic development for the Ethiopian Christian community, 84 churches across 10 cities have officially changed their signboards to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman Lee Man-hee, hereafter "Shincheonji").

On September 10, the Shincheonji Peter Tribe hosted the "Ethiopia 84 Churches Signboard Replacement Ceremony."During the event, 84 pastors publicly declared their membership in Shincheonji and pledged to spread the New Covenant Revelation throughout Ethiopia, affirming their unity through the Word of Revelation.

This milestone traces back to last November when Pastor Asefa Angeto, President of the Misgana Denomination Association, attended the 2nd World Revelation Seminar at Shincheonji Cheongju Church in South Korea. Upon returning to Ethiopia, Pastor Asefa led a series of Bible seminars across more than 100 churches in 10 cities, testifying to the Revelation Word he had received. His efforts have sparked a nationwide wave of transformation within local congregations.
