In the World Mission Society Church of God

The new religious movement World Mission Society Church of God 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 allegedly believed to have been married.[4] 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.[5]

Other activities

In addition to her status in the World Mission Society Church of God, Jang is the chairperson of the We Love U Foundation (국제위러브유 운동) and the New Life Welfare Foundation (새생명복지회).[6][7]
