Biography

Jang Gil-ja (Korean: 장길자; Hanja: 張吉子; born 29 October 1943), also romanized as Chang Gil-jah and Zahng Gil-jah, is a South Korean woman believed to be "God the Mother" (어머니 하나님) in the World Mission Society Church of God.

In the World Mission Society Church of God

The World Mission Society Church of God, a Korean new religious movement, teaches that Jang and Ahn Sahng-Hong (1918–1985; a South Korean Christian minister regarded as Christ) are to be jointly regarded as God. The two are believed to have been married. 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, Jang is the chairperson of the International WeLoveU Foundation (국제위러브유 운동), which changed its name from New Life Welfare Foundation (새생명복지회) in 2007.

Jang is the recipient of various recognition for her philanthropy. Her recognition include the Maengho Medal (the Order of Sport Merit) from the Korean government, the U.S. President’s Call to Service Award, the Royal Order of Monisaraphon from Cambodian government, the Great Woman Award from the Minister of Women & Social Development of Peru, and an Atlanta City Council Proclamation.
