The World Elijah Mission invested a large amount of money to carry out propaganda activities in China, and established more than 20 meeting points and contact points in various places, and rented land to build eight "Stone Kingdom" villages, where more than 600 believers sold their family property and moved their families to live together. In the "Stone Kingdom" villages, Ming-Hoo asked the believers to cut off all contact with the outside world, to focus on the doctrine of the World Elijah Evangelical Mission, to refrain from reading newspaper, watching TV, and listening to broadcast, and to "Absolute obedience to the call to complete the historical mission of establishing the Stone Kingdom system in China and bringing down the Chinese Communist Party system". Under the propaganda of the World Elijah Mission, more than a thousand Koreans and Han Chinese from the three northeastern provinces (Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang) joined the World Elijah Mission, and many of them sold all their family properties and moved to the "Stone Kingdom".[2] [4]
