[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] On the 8th, Lee Man-hee, the president of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji), sent a special letter to believers urging them to "pray to God for a treatment for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19)."

According to Shincheonji on the 9th, President Lee informed the believers through a "Special Letter from the President" saying, "Let us all pray to God together."

In the letter, President Lee stated, "To all the believers of the 12 tribes of Shincheonji, I inform you that for the believers infected with the COVID-19 virus and for the health of all believers, please grant us a healing medicine from God."

He continued, "We earnestly pray together in the name of Jesus," and added, "Let us definitely pray today."

A Shincheonji official explained the special letter to a media outlet, saying, "When pastors manage believers, they approach them from the standpoint of a faithful person based on the Bible," and "It is no different from the universal prayers offered by Buddhists, Protestants, and Catholics to Buddha or God."
