Zahng Gil-jah (Korean: 장길자; also romanized as Chang Gil-jah[1]) is a South Korean woman believed to be “God the Mother” (어머니 하나님)[2] within the World Mission Society Church of God.[3][4]

In the World Mission Society Church of God

The World Mission Society Church of God, a Korean new religious movement, teaches that Zahng and Ahn Sahng-Hong (1918–1985; a South Korean Christian minister regarded as Christ) are to be jointly regarded as God.[5] Church members may call her "God the Mother", "Mother Jerusalem", "New Jerusalem Mother", or "Heavenly Mother". She is believed to have fulfilled all prophecies of the Bible.

Other activities

In addition to her status in the World Mission Society Church of God, Zahng is the chairperson of the International WeLoveU Foundation (국제위러브유 운동), which changed its name from New Life Welfare Foundation (새생명복지회) in 2007.[6][7][8]
