AFTER a series of natural disasters that struck the Philippines, members of an international religious organization show how far it would take to share one’s life — literally by donating blood.
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 Medical Center “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 Missionary 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.
