Paynesville – 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 a Memorandum of Understanding,” Fruitfulness S. A. Joe, SCJ-Liberia’s publicity head, said in an interview at Duport 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 Duport Road Market Campaign” was launched to reawaken the Church’s previous sanitation program, which operated sometimes and closed for administrative reasons. Its previous sanitation campaign was on every last Saturday of each month from 2021 to 2024 and impacted the entire Duport Road Community and beyond.
However, SCJ has raised concerns about the lack of equipment and a garbage disposal site, calling on humanitarian groups, government agencies, and others for assistance.
“Right now, we don’t have equipment and a garbage disposal site,” Joe said. “We talk of cooperating with the Paynesville City Corporation so that it can help us with tricycles or trucks, 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 an equipment nightmare.
The Duport Road Market, situated at the intersection of roads that lead to Rehab Community, Red-light, Duport Road Intersection, and Waterside, is a hub of transactions.
SCJ’s clean-up exercise started from it 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 be clean and fall to Jesus,” Joe informed.
Fewer of the marketers said SCJ, which is not the government’s agent, has volunteered to clean their market monthly, causing them to pledge their full support.
“As long as SCJ cleans our market every first Saturday, we will contribute our funds and services,” 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 the Korean Church in South Korea.
The June 2026 pending clean-up campaign, according to Joe, will have more participants.
