Small Church, Big Results 

A small church participates in various activities

 If the members of the World Mission Society Church of God call to action in Wexstrasse 27, it leads to a worldwide activity.

 So will it be on March 11, when an environmental clean-up action will take place in as many as 1,900 cities in more than 150 countries around the world. While the clean-up campaign was carried out around the Federal Court in Berlin last year, the area near the Rotes Rathaus (Red City Hall) will be cleaned up this year. If you want to participate in this campaign, you can come to the Station Hackescher Markt by1:00 PM.

 Also, the World Mission Society Church of God has been engaged in blood donations from all over the world. The Church of God in Wilmersdorf conducted its first blood drive in Germany.

 On January 30, about 60 citizens responded to the campaign and donated blood at the Haema Blood Donation Center. This Church plans to repeat this activity in April by following the appeal of Daniel Bahr, the Minister of Health of the Federal Republic of Germany and member of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), who has called for blood donations.

 Deacon Julian George explained the blood donation metaphysically saying: “Jesus Christ gave eternal life through the blood on the cross 2,000 years ago. We can give life to other people by donating blood.”

 The blood drive, which was conducted in front of the blood donation center in the evening of this day, attracted the attention of many passers-by and some of them like Wilhelm Gebelein joined the campaign voluntarily.

 Pastor Byeongho Lee personally gave thanks to the participants, standing next to the blood donation vehicle. There were many Church members who donated blood for the first time like Laura Rein. Smiling, she allowed Erick Lehmann, Haema employee, to insert the needle.

 Conrad Strathausen, theological student,was somewhat excited at his first blood donation and said, “God did not hesitate to shed His blood for us, so there is no hesitation for me.” The vouchers and the allowances of blood donation are to be donated by the Church of God for charitable purposes.

 The World Mission Society Church of God was founded by Ahnsahnghong-nim in Korea in 1964. It has around 2,000 Churches in 150 countries around the world and the total number of the registered Church members amounts to 1.6 million. This Church attracted the attention of the world when it held Charity Concert for Haiti Earthquake Victims. After the Concert, the outcome of US$100,000 was handed over to the United Nations. Since then, the Church of God has worked directly with the United Nations Headquarters.In 2011, it was honored by the U.S. President Barack Obama for its volunteering work.

[Philippines]World Mission Society Church of God conducts blood donation campaign

The World Mission Society Church of God, a congregation that was first founded in Korea in 1948 by Ahn Sahng-Hong, their God the Father, conducted for the first time in the Philippines a blood donation campaign at the Quezon City hall Sunday in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross and St. Luke’s Hospital “to share the love of God the Father and help save lives.”

In the gathering attended by more than 600 possible church member donors from their branch churches in Metro Manila, Choi Jeong Maan, lead pastor of the World Mission Church of God-Philippines said that their blood campaign tagged

 “I Have Already Come,” is “to make Filipinos aware of the importance of blood donation in accordance with the teachings of God and to show the society that God already had come to save mankind with his blood of the Passover.”

“Blood means life. And because we want to follow the teachings of God and to save souls and lives, we helped by donating our blood,” he told INQUIRER.net, adding that he has heard that the Philippines is lacking in blood after the several calamities that hit the country.

“I hope through this event, the love of God the Father and God the Mother saving precious souls through the blood of the Passover be delivered to the people who are dying from captivity of sins,”

Maan said.

He said that while their church has been at the forefront in responding to this need in different parts of the world where some of their 2,200 branch churches are at, after all donating blood benefits the health, not just that of the beneficiary, but of the benefactor as well.

Dra. Gloria Lorenzo, head of the blood bank of the Philippine Red Cross-Quezon City, explained that donating blood trigger a person’s bone marrow to produce new red cells, adding that the process is comparable to that of a car’s change-oil mechanism.

With this, Lorenzo extends her gratefulness to the World Mission Society Church of God for donating many bags of blood in a period where they expect to have less.

“Mahirap talaga maghanap ng magdo-donate ngayon pero nag initiate sila (It’s hard to find blood donors nowadays but they initiate),” she said.

The World Mission Society Church of God “is well known in 150 countries throughout the world as a congregation that believes in God the Father and God the Mother, and faithfully keep the laws of the new covenant including the Sabbath, the Passover, the seven feasts in three times, and the regulation of veil as well.”

Apart from blood drives, their church has been organizing clean-up campaigns throughout the world, where a similar event was organized in March and December last year in Quezon City.

A fact sheet about the group said that they have recently been awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award by United States President Barack Obama.
